(but then again I like Jon too for many of the same reasons though I've not met him in person so my judgement may be suspect ;-) )
BTW if we can get our act together and I can get the guts together to ask my boss for time off just after starting, I could try and bring VCDs of Marc vs IBM vs BEA vs Oracle (I couldn't find the right person to ask from sun until it was too late) to the apachecon. Let me know who wants them and I'll try.

I guess I was not around during that time (if it ever was). I had sensed
(from monitoring the Jboss-users and dev lists early this year) that there
was a bit of ill sentiment towards the 'Jakarta Love Train' ;)
I had heard rumors, but never knew what to make of it until I asked him
directly myself at a JBoss presentation at the local JUG meeting a few
months back, and his response was something like...."nothing but a bunch of
Sun guys there", but I couldn't make out exactly what he said.
Is any of this true? Was Jboss rejected from joining Apache?

Subject: Linux Magazine article
Linux Magazine's backpage article is a little thing on Java and Linux
together etc. [Steve J. Vaughan-Nichols]. Apache Software Foundation's
Jakarta project gets a good mention, however he seems to ascribe JBoss as
being a Jakarta project :) Which is a shame that maybe Jakarta's brand is
being a bit too overpowering sometimes.
Tomcat, Ant and POI also get mentions.
My favourite quote:
"I know: to many of you Java is this wishy-washy language that's way too
wordy and structured." :)
Thought it was interest,
