Thanks, Bob >>> Steve Crossan <[email protected]> 08/18/04 01:59AM >>> Richard, Thanks for the announcement, this is very interesting news. My feeling is that this could be the move that makes the platform fly finally. As a company offering services around the platform, most of our customers are actually Aplaws and Aplaws Plus customers. Do you have any information about how the Aplaws Plus community will interact with CCM / ObjectWeb in the future? Bob, I think there is in fact a community out there - for example we have around 10 developers on the project (Aplaws, but the same codebase) and I know there are other individual external developers. There are also quite a few internal developers at West Sussex County Council of all places. The product has quite high penetration in the UK local government market (and growing) and I think that will provide a vibrant community. Already, companies like ourselves and rol offer support packages, and I'm sure others will join too. This kind of move could really harness the ability of this community to take the product forward, both supporting customers and from the point of view of the future technical direction. I think we'd all support what Richard is hinting at about standardising some of the architectural components, and we'd hope that via ObjectWeb we can contribute to that process. cheers Steve Crossan steve at runtime-collective dot com http://www.runtime-collective.com t: 01273 234290 f: 01273 234291 m: 0789 984 1684 --=20 Redhat-ccm-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-ccm-list Archives: https://www.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-ccm-list/ --=_B797D1B7.E3826E10 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Description: HTML <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1"= > <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1400" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"MARGIN-TOP: 2px; FONT: 10pt Arial; MARGIN-LEFT: 2px"> <DIV>The problem is I don't have Aplaws; I have CCM.
