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.

Worse, I'm having a bad year. Please read:

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
