I have a dream :-)

Hi list,

last night as FTO ( Fantomatic Technical Officer) , I directly report  
to Steve.

I just dispose of only 2 minutes to convince Steve that opensource  
WebObjects may have a big Hallo Effect for Apple.
The WO team agree with me and all WO developpers too, the challenge  
is big for the Community.
I take the lift, door of the office is open, today's rumor says that  
Steve is in good mood, go.

Fantomic : Hi Steve
Steve : Hi Fantomic

Fantomic : Well, the web is a mess , Apple can still come back in the  
war on the server side. J2EE is a nightmare, bad design, too much of  
JSR, most of J2EE projects fails.
WebObjects, is simple , very light , very efficient, Steve ,  
WebObjects is a bomb. Today the only drawback with WO is that, it's  
not opensource.
I think we need to decide under what kind of License we can  
opensource WO.  We need to avoid the cacophonic coding of most  
opensource project,
we just need to keep the hand of the design and future of the  
technology. Anycase, today the big challenge is no more on the server  
side, RIA are future of the net.

Steve : Fantomatic, you speaks about war and bomb, what did you have  
in mind, Iraqi ?
Look at WebKit. Adobe is using WebKit for AIR, they are simply  
laughing at us.

(I'm a little bit disappointed, I think Adobe is a big player on the  
RIA, perhaps buying Adobe would be the best thing we can do , but I  
can't say that to Steve.
Fucking words, as a frenchy guy, I just wants to avoid the Iraqi war  
subject, I remember the ONU speech of the french prime minister, but  
in the same time I'm feeling better,
Frenchy are not always saying stupid things )

Fantomatic : We needs to "Think Different", WO was simply ten years  
ahead ot his time.


(Steve's iPhone beeps. 2 minutes it's very short.)

Steve : I will decide soon.
Fantomatic : Great, do the right choice.


I just came out, I saw the next iPhone on the desk, but it's under  
NDA :-)

Sincerly yours,
Fantomic
