Hi,
on a side note (it's Friday evening here, so maybe now I'll be doing something
"fun" [1]), it's great to report bugs and provide feedback in general.

I do sometimes report bugs to open source projects I use. If I am able, I submit
a patch, but I do not pretend or assume that just because I reported a bug, the
bug will be fixed. It's does not work like that. It depends on individuals and
here in Apache we are all individuals.

The "getting involved" [2] page on the Apache Jena website tries to show people
the path: submit bug reports/feedback >> use the SNAPSHOTs to stay on the
bleeding edge >> checkout the sources and get used to it >> look around at the
other open issues >> find something you care about or like and submit a patch
(repeat, repeat, ...) >> engage with other committers more >> learn more about
Apache and how it works >> ...

One of the principle in Apache is "meritocracy: literally, government by merit"
[3]. I think it's a good one, one I believe in.

Have a nice week-end,
Paolo

I would like to see both

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-143

resolved

I provided input for 131 - I still have to try to produce a test-case for 143, but depending on the origin of 131, it may be connected to the problem in 143

thanks

Simon

Hi,
today, I have time to work on Jena.

What are the JIRA issues to fix before a release?

Paolo
