Early in my career in another industry, a battle-scarred veteran once informed me (while in the process of taking my job) that "everybody gets along well until your little business starts making significant amounts of money". That event, he implied, opens another chapter on how people get along.
Based on that astute observaton and considering recent developments involving some key committers, it appears that JBoss is indeed doing well. Growth sometimes involves pain. That is unfortunate and probably unavoidable, but the good news is that the pain is usually only temporary. JBoss an outstanding project from the standpoint of technology. That in itself is a huge accomplishment, but while keeping the technical aspects of the project moving forward, Marc is also wrestling with the very complicated tasks of developing new Open Source reveune models to support the project and rewarding key contributors, and this no doubt involves making some very tough decisions. Hopefully, any changes involving these recent developments will be minimal. The talent base supporting this project is awesome, and I hope everyone involved is able to find the personal, professional and financial rewards they're looking for. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
