That's wrong: we don't use maven; we build a POM and a maven bundle because people ask for it. Not because we use it. > Hey, Bruno, not a nice day? I am sorry but, why all this mess? Worse, I'm having a bad year.

Read a short review of my BarCamp talk here: http://blog.elisehuard.be/?p=344 and here (in French, title "opensource et entreprises"): http://www.monsieurm.be/2008/03/29/mon-premier-barcamp-succes/ Let me translate part of the French text: Everybody talks about Open Source, some use it, but few know the consequences. It's a great idea to share software everybody benefits from without paying for a license. Nevertheless: - some say: as the software is free (as in free beer), the creator must be a genius and he will be able to solve my problem (for free). He'll do this because "he is our friend." - This friend is capable of solving all bugs related to his problem. After all he created it! But isn't that (more than) a fulltime job? That and the fact that the issues I'm having with the Belgian government (because I was stupid enough to pay taxes on my Google revenues from 2004 till now) are still not straightened out sometimes make me wonder why people like F/OSS that much. Oh right, I remember: they aren't the ones that are under fire; they only see the advantages of the many, not the worries of the few who spent all that time on making F/OSS a success... best regards, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
