The ObjectWeb/Geronimo BoF went great. Both sides are very excited to be working together. After the meeting, we went to the bar and chatted for several hours more. It was great to see the Geronimo team huddled around David Egolf of JOTM while he talked about the intricacies of heavy transactional systems he's created on the mainframe. The discussion got so engaging, we had to create a "talking stick' to keep people from talking over one another.
The result of the BoF was that JOTM will be switched from LGPL to BSD-style so that there is nothing keeping us from fully collaborating. Both sides are very committed. It's amazing what can happen when experts unite, regardless of project affiliation. This is the true spirit of open source, not lawyers. In an effort to keep the ball rolling, I've compiled an initial list of the ObjectWeb and Geronimo crews -- will also be posting it to the wiki. I encourage as much cross-team communication as possible.
