Blogging:- Definitely blogging makes a big difference. I have already been asked by a couple of folks about TomEE. I am going to blog about this , the coming weekend. Okay now I said it, now I will have to do it :). I am planning to write a single paragraph, if I can do more, that would be cool. Conference speeches:- David is doing a tremendous job with conference speeches @ JavaOne. My big regret is not being able to attend even a single one of them, even though I am so close. On a side not, he spent the whole afternoon with me even (and treated me to lunch) though he had a packed schedule. Not sure how he does it, but it reiterated my belief that he cared a lot about the project and cares equally for the people involved in it, no matter how big or small the contribution is. Articles:- I will be writing an article pretty soon. I said it again, will have to write one now:). Would be nice to see a couple more. Tweeting:- Fantastic work with the tweets. Every time I would open twitter, would see a tweet or two about TomEE. We need to continue this in the coming months. Website:- We probably need a different color for TomEE. Maybe a different layout all together. Simplicity should be the key. Docs:- Of course, the most successful projects have had the best of docs. That was one of their biggest marketing tool. To me it says "If you care about the users, you will have good docs" . Gonna jump in this , but on a smaller scale. User questions:- We are doing a great job here with prompt responses. I am guilty of not being active here. Would like to be more active. Kudos to the folks who participate and respond to user questions. -- Karan Singh Malhi twitter.com/KaranSinghMalhi
