May you travel in Allah's peace, Saudara Rafe to the land down under; 
where women glow and men plunder.

One more question on your quest:
1. What is the business case for having such an objective? Come to think 
of it there is no business case if you are considered world class, at 
least not from the forms i find be them Technopreneur to MOSTI grants forms.

They always asked and fail you for the flimsiest of cases:
a. No foreign transfer of know-how
b. No market take-up proof.
c. No precedent
d. Bla-bla

All very kiasu statements i am afraid. Or we can at least say the future 
is undefinable (Citation: Dr. Lester Thurow, 1999)

My business case is just one line similar to David Axmark of MySQL: "We 
just love it and think it will work."

Heading to Bangkok now. Cya when we both back in December.

E1, thank you for your 'information' but sadly, all your statements here 
are entirely incorrect so i have to offer my comments them below. :)

You want to wait and accept E1? Or you want to fight and achieve A1?

It is yours to decide. I have decided. ADempiere is now like this 
www.adempiere.com .. just refer to citations there.

Adempiere is world-class project.. agreed.

the saddest thing, it can't deploy here because Adempiere team don't have
any POC that company in Malaysia can use that Adempiere.

Can Pak Salleh Pisang Panas use it.. or PERODUA deploy it in their factory?

Result:
Adempiere is not ready for Malaysian because we don't have enough
developers, consultant and technical specialist on ERP.

Conclusion:
So, bro red1.. we have to wait another 10 years probably.. then  might be
Adempiere is ready for Malaysian :-D.

So now... you want blood?  Are you sure? Can you repeat that? You have 
no idea what blood i can give you.

ADempiere codebase is 3.1 million lines. Mostly are copyright Mat 
Sallehs and now growing number of Heng Sin, our Malaysian worldclass 
developer. But there are still much more lines.

Each Java class is about 100 lines. So let's say we justify a business, 
oops, i mean world bashing case of converting those foreign copyrighted 
ones to Malaysians such as Azrul, we can start allotting in batches to 
get this "Made In Malaysia" copyright notice.

First batch - 100 java classes of 100 lines = 10,000 lines X RM5 = 
RM50,000 of better quality code such as using Hibernate ORM and Rules 
Engine.

If want a slow paper then X 10 batches again for 1,000 java classes of 
"Made in Malaysia" = RM500,000.

Raja can forward his battleship company for the first war of branding 
our Malaysian name further.

Are you really sure?

This community has really good people all around. Don't tell me not enough?

In fact if you want them to get started to show something on the big

1. Sphinx voice recognition integration to ERP (can ask Nuhaa to present 
using a SIP phone connected to asterisk to call up the sales orders and

2. Google Earth KVM representation of logistics info from the ERP. As 
you browse the earth, your business info appears as icons and graphix

All above ERP events can push to clients' sms or post to their Facebook

Say la 'open source developer'... big diff with 'non-open' one. Also why 
put such a term 'developer', instead of 'leader'? Why aim low when  you 
can aim much higher? <-- ok, ok lets stop bitching and continue the 
picthing...

According to that man with the borrowed goat, it is:

1. S/he has to be an expert in a field that is niche.

2. S/he is known by a worldwide community as a top contributor.

3. S/he has global social engineering skills.

4. The contribution and expertise need not be purely technical. Let us 
look at some examples:

a. Jimmy Wales, is not known as a wikimedia developer at all but famous 
as the man who recognised the power of it to bring wikipedia to its 
present unassailable form.

b. Linus Torvalds just started with a questionable kernel for the knack 
of kicking a few professors' butts and took over the GehNuu domain and 
mindshare by not giving a damn if the others can show a degree.

c. Richard Stallman, who coded a minimalist Emacs but is the 
spokesperson for freedom in software.

In a way Dr. M is one such leader too. He recognises world class ideas 
when he sees one.

But let's say you call the bluff of the goatman and say, "Ok, show me 
how to produce more of such leaders?"

Well, in the http://red1.org/MSC8.pdf is one such scheme to nurture 
more. From there you take a fairly good developer (in one case i dare 
take Azrul or Boh or Raja Iskandar) and allow them to go wild on the 
canvass. Key is (a) to maintain the spirit as open and not close 
whenever they smell money. Otherwise you end up with another world class 
kiasu bitch who just take in some millions and live it up in California 
Bay. Come to think of it why not the goatman do that? Can replace the 
goats with real bitchy babes.

Back to our 1Malaysia gang. You can see that Azrul/Boh/Raja has (b) 
worldclass ideas. That is really crucial. Do they dare to dream up ideas 
that  challenge the status quo? Or are they just lebih kurang 2 X 5 dan 
jangan kacau jiran pulau sana?

C'mon, 'world class' is a big word. You do not mean 'middle class' do 
you? Or 'lower class' or regional class? World means world lah. Kalahkan 
semua yang ada kat dunia ini. Don't care if its German, Russian, 
Chinese, Indian or Latino, you are one that the whole world look up to 
and bitch against instead.

Now their ideas need (c) support if you want to be part of the building 
process. Otherwise leave them be by luck they may become world level 
like the goatman again. But then, you end up with more bitching ones who 
either migrate or keep pitching non-stop.

Ideas are contagious. Don't ever introduce one if you want a un-eventful 
life.

Actually the beauty of this idea is that you do not need millions of 
bucks to pitch it. Just pay Azrul/Boh/Raja and goatman all in less than 
RM50k per month and do not disturb them for a whole year. If they do not 
launch something of world class every quarter, then i will permanently 
stop bitching.

Game?

Flying in and out of a country to pitch is usually done by many 
personalities who are putting themselves as world-class. Otherwise you 
can stay and bitch like some guy with a goat in a farm, as no one will 
think about asking you to sit on any world-class advisory panel.

[osdcmy-public] Re: World class developers

2009-11-18 Terurut Topik Boh Yap

hi rafe,

Its not I think, any of the following:

   not by having a certificate,
   not by their position or pay in a company
   Not by recognition of some body/organisation,
  (unless its someone like IBM appointg you as a
   Research Fellow,
   or MIT (and I don't mean Mara Inst. of Technology!) giving
   you an honourary doctorate)

   ... and not by winning a competition ;-)

(** the competition you have in mind is not gonna identify or build
world-class developers, but its serves other purpose...)

I would put it simply, someone recognised by their peers.

The best indication of that is either by:

contributing code to an significant FOSS project,
or
in the commercial world, designed and built a world-class
competitive product.

Also, based on a categorisation of types of programmers from an
earlier post, 
https://mail.google.com/mail/?zx=8sgboj23c0cw&shva=1#search/what+type+programmer/1245f291f64b0f60

we have these:

1. Visionary
2. Trailblazer
3. Workhorse
4. Drone
5. Idiot
(this gives a good definition to work on)

Lets's forget Lvl4&5, even among the top 3, there are differences:

A Lvl3 programmer/developer, for e.g. could be very good/fast in his
work and produce good quality code, but be only mediocre at capturing
requirements, or not good in design (UI or System Architecture). Those
that make him world class?

The Lvl2 guy, would be a good coder, and be versatile and flexible, he
should be able to accept an adapt new technology (like
distributed/cloud computing - languages like Erlang, Scala) and run
with it. So that's one criteria of world-class, versatile and
adaptable. For example, I find many Malaysians, even good programmers,
tend to stick to just one language and is reluctant to adopt new ones.
Good developers, like those guys working on major FOSS projects are
usually conversant in 2-3 programming languages.

An example is Bill Joy (ex-Chief Scientist a Sun, and one of the
original founders) is a, not only was he the major contributor to BSD
Unix (Systems programming) as a student in Berkeley, he also help
design Sun's SPARC chip (Chip design) and contributed to Java
(language design). He was versatile and good enuff in all those
different areas.

The Lvl-1 guys at right at the top, they do stuff nobody thought off,
often not intentionally... and create revolutions. What comes to
mind...

  Tim Berners Lee (HTTP),
  Linus Torvalds (Linux),
  Ken Thompson + Dennis Ritchie (Unix & C-language),
  Shaun Fanning (Napster which started the P2P file sharing thing
  that gives us Skype, Joost)

Note, all these guys ARE PROGRAMMERS, and guys like Ken Thompson are
probably in their late 60's and still coding (working for Google, and
designing a new language...)

The last, Shaun Fanning is rather unusual, he learnt programming to
write Napster, then locked himself up for about 6 mths to produce the
code People has crticised his code for being a 'mess', but its the
vision that counted and it became a proof of concept,... that others
improved on.

So its not so easy to define world class, its your achievement that counts..
