Have a Great Spring...Experience That Is.
posted by ari
Wow,
it has been a crazy week. I will try to pull together a list of links to folks who covered our open source announcement. Things have been absolutely insane though. So much so, that I won't be able to attend the Spring Experience this week. I was looking forward to meeting up with Rod, Rob, and Adrian in person. I was also hoping to attend some of the sessions on 2.0 updates, etc. Anyways, Terracotta will be there. If you are interested in speaking with us while at the conference you should seek out Jonas Bonér (he is presenting there) or Gary Nakamura. They will likely be in Terracotta t-shirts or button downs. I would LOVE it if anyone thinking about use cases for clustering Spring Beans would seek out Jonas and Gary and get your ideas over to us. With our going open source, you can also talk to them about becoming a committer, contributor, or getting more involved.
We welcome the community's input.
Read on for a non-exhaustive list of links about our announcement.
InfoQ's most excellent article including a deep technical set of questions.
TheServerSide's coverage. I think Joe is going to spend some more time soon on the clustered Master/Worker pattern.
Javalobby's nice article. Rick Ross, being the world's most technical CEO (IMO) wrote up his view on why we went open. It's a nice piece. Truth is, with partner and customer pressure, and the opportunity to get access to more of the community by being a "better" citizen, OSS was a fait a compli from the time of Java One.
Darryl Taft's coverage over at eWeek. Always gotta respect Darryl. He knows what's important for the community and he is a good friend.
There's more...if I get time I'll update, but the goal is really to get this stuff into an RSS feed hanging off of Terracotta.org. There's too much to keep up with, otherwise.
Now, get over to the site, download it, and help me come up with the next kewl use case. I am actively working on a subset of the site for value added projects built on top of DSO to find a home. Mail me at [ari AT terracottatech DOT com] if you would like to discuss your project in more detail.
