gwoo, I would like to cite your very words from another thread:

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-11 Thread Jon M.

Mullet I believe what he meant was you can not advertise that you will
develop a CakePHP app for money or your company will develop a cakephp
for commercial use and sell it. Please correct me if I am wrong. I
have dealt with some trademark issues lately with a company I am
working with for my employer and they told me it's okay to mention the
companies trademark as long as it mentions who owns the trademark and
has the trademark symbol by it. Again this might be different for
CakePHP but from what I have dealt with I have only had to put the
symbol and mention who owns it.

Now the Source Code for CakePHP is different it's name CakePHP that is
trademarked not the source code. You can distribute the cakephp source
with your apps as long as you don't alter the header information in
the source of what was written by the CSF. The source is under the MIT
license ... you should check it out so you have more of an
understanding of it. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

If any of these is wrong please correct me anyone.

I am sorry to hear that the book has been canceled and there was
problems amoung the community but we are better then that we can get
past the problems and be more concerned about the community then our
personal means.

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-10 Thread Sonic Baker
Hello all,

Please forgive me as I'm about to throw a huge spanner in the works. I'm not
trying to cause any trouble, I'm just wondering if it's possible to turn a
bad situation into a beneficial one.
When something like cakePHP comes along, it's hard to keep everyone happy
all the time. Feelings get hurt and Efforts sometimes get overlooked. We are
only human, but this project is one of the best examples of what humanity
can do for the greater good within the confounds of this digital realm. I've
seen both parties apologise to each other. Nobody is interested in causing
trouble to others, they are just trying to defend themselves. In doing so,
it is easy to possible get distracted from the more important things:
Something beautiful is happening here. People are sharing their work in the
hopes that it may benefit someone else. People are taking time out of their
own lives to help those who seek that valuable help. Some are very busy but
still give whatever they can without asking for anything back. This is
amazing! A community has grown, and it's one of the best I personally have
ever seen. To keep such a wonderful community alive, sometimes we have to
bite the bullet, and try to focus on what the future may bring.

So...  (enter spanner):
How much of the book was actually written? History of cake and all that
stuff aside, of the technical content that was written, would it be of use
to the community or in educating new potential bakers. It seems to me from
reading this thread that all parties put a great deal of work into this and
it seems a shame that this work may go to waste. So the publishing deal went
sour! I have no knowledge on publishing commercial books etc but rather than
waste the efforts involved, would there be anything to say for releasing at
least the approved content and allow the community to benefit from it. The
subversion book comes to mind, with a 'Donate' link on each page. They may
not amount to millions but at least if donations could be shared between all
parties wouldn't everyone benefit?
That's it from me. Sorry if you think this was just a complete rant and
waste of google's disk space. I'm not trying to make matters worse by any
means. I just hate to see effort wasted.

Cheers my friends,

Sonic

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread h3raLd

 CakePHP is trademark of the Cake Software Foundation, Inc.

^^^ I suggest to specify this clearly on the CakePHP website, like
Rails does, at least.
I did a quick search on the Trademark Electronic Search System (http://
www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm): Ruby on Rails came up and CakePHP
didn't, but I may be wrong...

 We would like to be involved at some level of any book that comes out.

I'd like to share my personal experience and a small anecdote
regarding this. Although the CSF was paid to review the whole book, as
a matter of fact they reviewed it *what they wanted* and *when they
felt like it*.
An example? Although they are - apparently - so concerned about having
proper code used in a book, it seems that they didn't care about some
obvious mistake in Chapter 3 of my book when I used the .html
extension for the views (deprecated in 1.2) instead of .ctp... This
means nothing, of course, but according to them such chapter was
fine.

On the contrary, Larry explicitly *forbid me* to put any reference to
Michal Tatarynowicz in the book, stating that himself should be
considered the creator of the framework. So much for a technical
review!

Here's the censored passage:

---
History and Uses of CakePHP

While it's difficult to copy Rails in PHP, it's quite possible to
write an equivalent system. I like the terseness of Ruby code, but I
need the structure that Rails provides, how it makes me organize my
code into something sustainable. That's why I'm ripping off Rails in
Cake .

This was a comment by Michal Tatarynowicz a.k.a. Pies in reply to a
blog post about Rails clones. Michal started to develop a rapid
development framework in 2005, drawing his inspiration from Ruby on
Rails structure and methodologies.
About CakePHP's early days

The old CakePHP Web site is still available at www.sputnik.pl/cake-old/.
Please note that the framework has evolved a lot since then, with the
help of an always-growing, hyper active community.
As repeatedly remarked by Michal Tatarynowicz and other core
developers like Larry E. Masters and Garret G. Woodsworth - who now
actively maintain the framework - CakePHP is not a port of Ruby on
Rails to PHP. RoR was developed in Ruby for a reason, mainly because
only Ruby could provide a concise and elegant syntax and offered
advanced OO features necessary to develop such an optimized and quick-
to-use application framework.

---

I complied, although reluctant, to the order and informed the
publishers that - despite the chapter was already sent to production -
I needed to re-write that bit. I was asked by one of the editors how
much of a modification was it, and I replied:

---

Basically Larry wasn't too happy to read that I mentioned the former
creator of the Cake framework, a project originally available in
public domain which is the ancestor of CakePHP.
Basically I'll remove all the references to the creator of the Cake
project in the very first part of the chapter (History of CakePHP)

---

As I put Larry in Cc, he immediately sent me the following email:

---
Ok Fabio,

Any reason you replied with this when the question was How much of a
modification, not why are you doing a modification? Seems to me you
are trying to piss me off, or make me look bad in the public eye.
Fabio take the time and go through the code of CakePHP, it is not what
was in the public domain. And I am going to say this again to you,
Michal is not the creator of the project. Look at the time line in the
trac site...

I already told you in an IRC chat, that Brego and I are the ones whose
code was what has now become CakePHP

I will be glad when this project with you is over, I wish I would have
thought about it more before thinking you where the best to write this
book. There are others who have a better understanding of the code
that would have been more qualified to write this IMO, and it worries
me with this being the first book, what the quality of that book is
going to be with you at the helm of the writing...
---

Was I _really_ trying to piss him off? I don't think so! Definitely
_he_ did after such a comment though!

Anyhow, a piece of advice for potential writers and publishers: be
extreely careful of what you write or try to publish. If he doesn't
like it, he'll tell you that you won't be allowed to use the CakePHP
logo and name in the book title and that would be it: the book gets
cancelled. That's precisely what happened to me.

Again, sorry for voicing my own in such a dramatic way, it just feels
wrong that after someone spends so much time writing articles and
doing his best to promote the framework he's treated in such a
disrespectful way.

2007-03-09 Thread Mariano Iglesias

Fabio,

I can sympathize about how sad you feel that your project ended, but I
believe this is BY NO MEANS proper, professional behavior.

All you do here is to rant against people at CSF, disclosing details that
should be between you and the other party.

If you wanted to come across with an advice, the first thing you should've
done is stay objective, or *at least* professional.

What good can we get out of this? By us I mean the rest of Cake community
reading this google group. All I see here is someone who's annoyed with
someone else, pasting emails that we do not know for sure if they were ever
written, possibly leaving out your own emails, and which we don't even care.
Or at least we shouldn't.

We are here to promote, maintain, and help other bakers use CakePHP.
 
As a final note, I've looked at old Cake's source code and it's not at all
what it is today. Just because someone had the idea to build something
doesn't make them the creators when that something was completely rewritten.
Or do you consider Alexander Graham Bell to be the inventor of the cell
phone?

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread h3raLd

Yes, you're right.

My behaviour right now is not professional, and I'm sorry for that. I
just feel very hurt and sick of someone's behaviour. I realize the
community will be sick of my behaviour at this point, and I'll
probably quit ranting, the community doesn't need this.

I would just like some people - Larry in particular - to realize that
what he did was wrong and inappropriate towards me and the publisher.
True, there's probably nothing of Michal's Cake in CakePHP, but I do
believe he had at least just the idea for it, at least, and he should
be at least mentioned. On a side note, I always praised Larry's effort
in the past, in the book, and even now I think he's probably the best
PHP coder I've met.

BUT I would like him to realize that is not OK to treat people like
crap, especially when he was the one who failed to meet the deadlines
in the first place.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion - I have mine, people may
share it or not, of course. His behavior during the whole thing was
not professional. They set their own deadlines and they failed each
one of them!
And they keep putting the blame on my lack of coding/writing skills
while they didn't develop a medium sized application in over seven
months? At be honest and say clearly, to the community, that you
didn't feel motivated all along and couldn't be bothered! That - at
least - would have been more honest.
If they didn't want to be involved in the project, they shouldn't have
signed the contract *or* cancel it right when they felt that they
didn't like it, not right when everyone is expecting the book to come
out. I would have been annoyed, pissed off, but I definitely wouldn't
have bothered to make all this public.

I don't only feel sad about the failure of the project, I feel I was
deliberately blamed for its failure and insulted by people who cannot
admit their own mistakes. It wasn't because of my lack of skills that
they failed the deadlines, was it?

And how do you know those details come from actual facts? And what about the
other side of the story?

Trust me, when you are not an insider in a fight (using quotes on
purpose), then there's no way for you to actually know what happen, so we
should clearly avoid judging what someone tells us someone else did. All we
can do is judge what we do see, for that matter.

I have seen this kind of ranting during corporate takeovers and they
certainly lead no where.

RE: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread Mariano Iglesias

Fabio,

 I realize the community will be sick of my behaviour at this point, 
 and I'll probably quit ranting, the community doesn't need this.

I don't know about sick, and I can't speak for the whole community, but I
know I don't need to witness an internal power struggle.

 I would just like some people - Larry in particular - to realize that
 what he did was wrong and inappropriate towards me and the publisher.

Then that is something you and Larry should talk, be it over the phone or
email, but disclosing your internal communication all it does (look at Dr.
Tarique's comment) is confuse the rest of us, giving us a one side of the
story that leads nowhere.

 On a side note, I always praised Larry's effort in the past, in the book,
 and even now I think he's probably the best PHP coder I've met.

You are wrong, that would be me... Just kidding :)

 BUT I would like him to realize that is not OK to treat people like
 crap, especially when he was the one who failed to meet the deadlines
 in the first place.

Nor it is right to disclose personal communications, or talk bad about
someone, is it? If you wanted to point out someone else's mistakes, the best
thing you could've done in the beginning is avoid making the same mistakes
you are accusing the other party of.

 His behavior during the whole thing was not professional. They set their
 own deadlines and they failed each one of them!

I don't know what your contractual agreement regarding deadlines was, nor I
am interested, but Larry, Nate, Gwoo and the rest of the CSF have shown us
(the community) endless commitment to producing what IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT:
the framework itself. I have even seen releases on Christmas Day! What more
commitment can we get on an open source project?

We had this discussion on the Spanish google group today, where someone was
saying that probably CSF's biggest mistake was lack of marketing. I say,
aren't we users of a rapid development framework? So isn't it better that
1.2 is out stable, production-ready than having a nicer website than Rails?

I think some of us need to have a look over on our priorities as developers.

 And they keep putting the blame on my lack of coding/writing skills
 while they didn't develop a medium sized application in over seven
 months?

Again, I'm not familiar with deadlines nor I am interested, but as a witness
of their source code habilities I can tell you know that they can not only
build an application in seven months, but in one day! Look at the changes
from one SVN commit to the other and you'll see the amount of work they can
do on such little time.

 If they didn't want to be involved in the project, they shouldn't have
 signed the contract *or* cancel it right when they felt that they
 didn't like it, not right when everyone is expecting the book to come
 out.

I completely disagree. I have the right to cancel a contract *AFTER* it has
been signed if I believe the quality of the work doesn't meet my
expectations. I'm not saying you had poor or great quality, I just believe
that a person has the right to cancel on a contract. Signing a contract
doesn't mean stick with it no matter what.

 I don't only feel sad about the failure of the project, I feel I was
 deliberately blamed for its failure and insulted by people who cannot
 admit their own mistakes. It wasn't because of my lack of skills that
 they failed the deadlines, was it?

They didn't make a statement saying they cancelled the project because you
were to blame, nor they wrote a blog post about it. It all started with your
blog post, were you accused the other party of being disrespectful,
dishonest, and with a general lack of commitment.

When that happens, I obviously understand the need to defend their
reputation the CSF had.

So to tell you the truth Fabio, as I see it, this would've all been avoided
if your comments didn't make this personal.

But then again, I can understand how a man can be upset. For my personal
experience, leave feelings behind when addressing the general public, or you
may be hurting someone else's feelings and reputation.

  An allied question - Will an Unofficial book be allowed by CSF?

 If you mean will someone be able to use CakePHP in the title of a book

 CakePHP is trademark of the Cake Software Foundation, Inc.

Larry, you cannot forbid anyone to write a book _ABOUT_ Cakephp, and
it would definately be allowed to use the name even in the title, as
long as it does not claim to be an official book.

But legal issues aside: if what Larry says is representative of the
thinking that dominates the CSF, then, members of the community, be
careful. Thats because, if he thinks anyone needs his permission to
publish an _unofficial_ book containing the word CakePHP, how can
anyone be sure that he is allowed to write a CakePHP Blog? Or even a
website mentioning the Word CakePHP? Larry, will we be hearing from
your lawyers if we do so? What do you demand if I want to start a blog
which is named my unofficial CakePHP blog?

So, please Larry/CSF let us know, if we can safely assume that the
term CakePHP and its fair use are assured for the future - for free!-.
And please don't refer to the CSF website as it does not answer any
questions.

Should you stick to your position that the term CakePHP can be used
only with permission of CSF, I must strongly recommend everyone to
switch to another framework, because I must fear that would be the
beginning of an alienated community.

RE: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread Mariano Iglesias

I may be out of my way here, but I don't believe CSF members behave like
dictators.

This is an open source project released under the MIT license, and as such
it is bound by those terms.

I think it is safe to say that you *can* use the term CakePHP as long as you
address the binding of its license.

However it is obvious that you cannot put an official CakePHP stamp on your
book/blog/whatever (not just talking about an icon, I mean presenting your
content as official CakePHP content) if you do not have the approval of CSF.
This is just common sense.

Unfortunately it is not very clear and I have asked in the past and
not got satisfactory replies.

The term CakePHP is trademarked so you can be prevented from using
that for almost everything (including blog posts) *if* CSF wishes.

It is this ambiguity from CSF which I do not like.

I personally feel that exceptions to the use of CakePHP trademark
should be clearly defined on the site and they should be mentioned in
a clause in the registering contract of the trademark or its
equivalent in the country it was registered.

Merely pointing to a reply by someone in a thread on the group is just
not enough.

And yes I have reasons to judge on basis of past behaviors :)

This is definitely the last post in this thread from me.

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread h3raLd

I wasn't going to post anymore but I feel compelled to include a few
more emails concerning that conversation.

I emailed Larry back:



Larry,

I didn't mean to offend you or to piss you off and I hope you can
accept my apologies: I really didn't mean to say that, and to me it
doesn't sound offensive either (maybe because I'm not a native English
speacker).

Regarding this statement:

I will be glad when this project with you is over, I wish I would have
thought about it more before thinking you where the best to write this
book. There are others who have a better understanding of the code
that would have been more qualified to write this IMO, and it worries
me with this being the first book, what the quality of that book is
going to be with you at the helm of the writing...

This certainly does not improve my morale - which is already not at
its best - and it does indeed hurt my feelings. I'm sorry you feel
like this about me and about me writing the book: if you feel this way
I suggest you talk to the Peachpit staff and sort it out as you see
fit. Just let me remind you that the book was proposed to me long ago,
because a Peachpit acquisition editor noticed one of my (many)
articles about CakePHP which I wrote for a magazine.

I never criticized your code or your way of programming (which I
indeed praised everywhere and in every possible occasion), moreover,
it was me who told Peachpit staff to wait for you to finish the
application despite the fact that you failed to meet the deadlines for
the project that you set not only once, but twice.

It sounds to me that you were waiting for a spark to pour out your
real opinion about me and the book, and that really doesn't help
neither me, nor you or the project.

Again, I didn't mean any offense.


...and then he replied, in a more civilized manner:


 I didn't mean to offend you or to piss you off and I hope you can accept
 my apologies: I really didn't mean to say that, and to me it doesn't sound
 offensive either (maybe because I'm not a native English speacker).


Accepted

Regarding this statement:

 I will be glad when this project with you is over, I wish I would have
 thought about it more before thinking you where the best to write this book.
 There are others who have a better understanding of the code that would have
 been more qualified to write this IMO, and it worries me with this being

 remind you that the book was proposed to me long ago, because a Peachpit
 acquisition editor noticed one of my (many) articles about CakePHP which 
 Iwrote for a magazine.


I am sorry about this comment,  I should have thought about it more
before
sending it. It upsets me when you  continue to  give Michal credit
when his
work on the project was minimal, there are others who have worked on
this
project and contributed a lot more then Michal ever did. To see him
given
credit for this work, when he would not continue to take the code
where it
needed to go, does piss me off. You know this project consumes most of
my
life, and it is like one of my kids. I am very protective of it as I
am with
my kids.


Then, eventually Garrett agreed to just mention -- in a restricted way
-- Michal and Brego.



The bottom line is, both parts did mistakes during the course of the
project, I may have been a bit arrogant sometimes but I think my
reactions were justified by seeing, day after day, that the CSF didn't
seem to have a lot of interested in doing their part.

All I'd like is people to understand my part, and that I'm definitely
not the one to be blamed for the fact that the book wasn't published.
I did my best, sorry if it wasn't sufficient.

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread The Mullet

Tarique is exactly right:
The term CakePHP is trademarked so you can be prevented from using
that for almost everything (including blog posts) *if* CSF wishes.

It is this ambiguity from CSF which I do not like.

Now, unless CSF decides to set up a public license which allows for
some basic use of the Name, CakePHP is unusable in a commercial
environment. Actually, right now CSF is even violating the MIT license
under which Cake is published: the MIT license allows for
redistribution of the Software, which I can't though, as the software
contains the word CakePHP all over, but I am not allowed to use this
word.

Now, to make this clear: I have total understanding if the CSF wants
to protect themselves against anyone who might abuse the term CakePHP
by giving the impression that he is certified, or his book is an
official Cake-Book or whatsoever. But a simple use of the word
CakePHP, stating My Company has used the CakePHP framework in so many
projects should be allowed.

Once again:
ACME is an officially licensed CakePHP-company should be forbidden
unless licensed by CSF.

ACME has produced software using the CakePHP framework should be
allowed.

CSF should provide such a statement with every copy of CakePHP. Unless
they do so, no company should seriously consider investing time in
this framework, because tomorrow CSF may decide it's time to cash in.

RE: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread Mariano Iglesias

Fabio,

After this email I seriously have a problem understanding you. As I told you
before, I can sympathize with someone when they are feeling sad or hopeless
(I have had my own share of sad moments), but your actions seem to be driven
by a need of making us come to bad conclusions against the CSF.

I am sure everyone had their share of mistakes, and frankly I'm no one to
judge. But I think the point was clear in that *no one* was getting anything
out of this public disclosure of personal emails.

As I told you before, WE DIDN'T have the idea that you screwed up, until you
so eloquently said you didn't. We didn't think you attacked anyone until,
while in the spirit of retaliation against an attack that never came, you
started criticizing members of the CSF.

I politely ask you to come to your senses and approach this as *if you were
not* a party involved in this issue. Just think of it as a member of the
community, reading all this bull on what *should be* a group to support
CakePHP's development, not to bury it in endless battles.

Just remember, there was no such thing as a part, until you started giving
the rest details about your conversations. Then you started making it
personal, and hell broke loose.

So with the respect that I have towards your previous CakePHP related
articles (that is as far as I know your work), please stop this
unprofessional, un-needed behavior so we can all move on.

Letting go, and moving on to the next battle is not such a bad idea. Trust
me, I know.

RE: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-09 Thread Mariano Iglesias

 It seems to me that a few individuals are mis-understanding
 our words and have a general mis-understanding of trademark policy.

That was exactly my point, and I think such a document would help others
avoid confusion. Confusion so high that some people even thought CSF lawyers
were going to hunt them down if they mention CakePHP to a friend on the
privacy of their homes.

I mean the CSF is not a record label company :)

 But the more I have to do this, the less I have time to work on the
 thing that matters most, CakePHP.

What about appointing people for areas, such as writing documents about
trademark protection or marketing decisions (regarding website), that are
not *core PHP* oriented?

 This is a community built on the trust of everyone to
 do their part.

And some of us try to :)

 The MIT license covers the copyright on the code

The day I found CakePHP and discovered it was licensed under MIT was the day
that I felt in love with it. MIT license simply rocks.

If you mean will someone be able to use CakePHP in the title of a book
without permission, then I will say no.
CakePHP is trademark of the Cake Software Foundation, Inc.

Will we refuse to allow someone to use this?
A person or publisher would need to go through the proper channels to use
the name or logo.

We would like to be involved at some level of any book that comes out.

This is because the community provides a lot of support, but at the end of
the day it comes back to us when the wrong code is used whether in the form
of tickets, questions on the mailing list, or in the irc channel

We truly believe its in the best interest of the community to be able to

  An allied question - Will an Unofficial book be allowed by CSF?

 We would like to be involved at some level of any book that comes out.

Thanks for the clarification - though I feel that *any book* is
restrictive and in long term not good for an open source software but
then everyone has a freedom not to choose...

2007-03-08 Thread Mariano Iglesias
Eventhough I don't want to get in the middle of a problem that after reading
that blog post since to have gotten a little personal (at least from that
side), I agree with Larry in that something as important as a book about
CakePHP should not only get reviewed by the CSF, but also approved.

 

I now have a more understanding attitude towards Nate for kind of snapping
that time :-)

We would like to be involved at some level of any book that comes out.

This is because the community provides a lot of support, but at the end of
the day it comes back to us when the wrong code is used whether in the form
of tickets, questions on the mailing list, or in the irc channel 


We truly believe its in the best interest of the community to be able to
trust that they will be receiving the right information

Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-07 Thread kinto

Today I found a new post on h3rald.com, Fabio Cevasco's blog.
http://www.h3rald.com/blog/view/42

It seems that the book will never come out and I'm really
disappointed.
I tought that it would be a great deal for Cake.
For me (and I believe a lot of other people) buying a book and
learning from it is much more productive than reading fragmented
articles on the bakery or digging in the google group.

So...I hope that something can still change and I'm really interested
on hearing the position of the Cake Software Foundation

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-07 Thread Larry E. Masters aka PhpNut
It is true, the book deal between the Cake Software Foundation, Fabio
Cevasco, and Peachpit Press has been cancelled. This decision was
unanimously reached by all members of the CSF as well as other members of
the community who where involved in peer review.

In short, we were dissatisfied with the direction the project was taking,
and the inadequate way in which the framework was being represented.

However, this absolutely does not mean that there will be no CakePHP book.

Re: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-07 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Acutally i primarly meant the comments inside the post. (in the
linguistic meaning of comment there can be comments *inside* a post,
not only  comments *on* the post)
And whenever somebody agrees with (comments *on* the post) that, it
counts too.
some quotes: I hardly understand this decision of the Cake Software
Fondation. or even Grrr I would like to kick the ass of the someone
who didn't like the idea...

RE: Cake Recipes cancelled

2007-03-07 Thread Mariano Iglesias
It’s a shame that the deal was cancelled but I’m sure there will be a no
proposal for a CakePHP book.

 

I would work on it myself but I lack the English skills to do so. I am
willing to write in Spanish, though ;)

Hmmm.. may be I am a bit thick skinned but I would categorize both of
the above as valid opinions of an aggrieved individual and everyone
else is free to agree or disagree with them.

Hardly an offensive against CSF I would say

Since Larry has already put in an official statement it is EOT for me.
