Hello Everyone,
The February meeting of the Orlando Java Users Group is coming
up on February 26 at
DeVry University. Mark your calendars and
spread the word! Our meetings are open to anyone interested
in Java. Please rsvp by email to rsvp@orlandojug.org if you
plan on attending. Here are the details.
Presentation: How the Apache Software Foundation Functions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This talk is about the largest (nearly a thousand
developers) and most successful all-volunteer development
organization in the world: The Apache Software Foundation
(ASF). How do they get people and companies to donate the
enormous amount of code, intellectual property, and energy to
something for which they don't get paid for? (The ASF doesn't
pay anyone, but lots of companies pay people to work for the
ASF and thereby give that code to their competitors...) How
do they manage an extraordinarily diverse pool of developers
(in terms of geography, language, skill sets, etc.) in a way
that provides rapid, stable, secure, and generally useful
software to a huge community of users without getting bogged
down in bureaucracy? How do they protect one of the
best-known "brands" on the Internet? It's a huge, dynamic,
diverse, and very highly respected community of developers --
Come and see how (and why) it works!
Speaker: Jim Moore, Veritas Software
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim is a senior developer for internal tools at
Veritas Software.
The requirements of having to provide rock-solid solutions for
Veritas quickly drew him to Apache software, and to become
active in the Apache community. A committer on the
log4j project,
he's seen the way that successful open-source projects work, and
some of the things that can cause problems."
