A check of the <a href= "http://geronimo.apache.org/" >website</a> indicates that they just made a "1.0-M5" release 14 days ago, passed the J2EE TCK 1.4.1a compatibility tests 111 days ago, and a <a href= "http://nuxor.net/katia/geronimospanish.pdf" >free book</a> is available if you read Spanish.</p> <p>And today, I read from <a href= "http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=37178" >TheServerSide.com</a> that they have just chosen their <a href= "http://www.epiqtech.com/corp/products/technology/opensource/apachegeronimo4.htm" >official logo</a>.</p> <center> <a href= "http://www.epiqtech.com/corp/products/technology/opensource/images/design7_450x50.gif" ><img src= "http://www.epiqtech.com/corp/products/technology/opensource/images/design7_450x50.gif" title= "Apache Geronimo logo" /></a> </center> <p>According to my <a href= "http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2003/10/29/cute_logo_theory.html" >cute logo theory</a>, this is more significant an event than most of the other technical milestones, for nothing attracts a crowd like a cute logo.</p> http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2005/10/19/geronimo_here_comes_the_cute_logo.html#comments http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2005/10/19/geronimo_here_comes_the_cute_logo.html Wed, 19 Oct 2005 12:43:06 GMT http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2003/08/06/breaking_news_apache_j2ee_geronimo_jboss.html <p>Within the last twenty-four hours, a few messages were posted to mailing lists across the Internet.</p> <p>Firstly, there is <a href= "http://www.mail-archive.com/general@incubator.apache.org/msg00644.html" >Geir Magnusson Jr.'s message</a> on the Apache mailing lists. Apache is not happy with the current crop of open source J2EE servers. They are writing a new one. Good for them. It has generated tremendous interest in the Open Source community. All I can say is read the name of the third author of the proposal. (Quiz for the day: Do you remember what the second author did recently?)</p> <p>Then, a Greg Stein (Chairman of Apache Software Foundation) message was sent to the JBoss developers list, amount others. The message was purges and did not make it to the archives. But remnant of the message can be seen <a href= "http://www.mail-archive.com/general@incubator.apache.org/msg00657.html" >here.</a> as well as <a href="news://gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jboss.devel" >here.</a> </p> <p>Finally, true to his style, a feisty <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5744273" >Marc Fleury message</a> showed up, distancing JBoss from Apache J2EE.</p> <p>I'll be using JBoss for the foreseeable future, but Apache has a good history of getting its ways. (Velocity was started as a <em>clean room reimplementation</em> of the GPLed WebMacro.)</p> http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2003/08/06/breaking_news_apache_j2ee_geronimo_jboss.html#comments http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2003/08/06/breaking_news_apache_j2ee_geronimo_jboss.html Wed, 06 Aug 2003 14:27:40 GMT
