Knowledge Transfer

[David Blevins <da...@visi.com>]

I've said this before and reposting again just so everyone gets the  
memo.  I'm happy to chat with people on the phone now and then to try  
and spread the knowledge around.

Some really good scenarios:

If you're looking to work on a piece of code and want a jumpstart.  I  
can probably save you days worth of study.  Then you can spend some of  
that saved time and help javadoc the code for the next guy! :)

If you want to help out on the user list I can help you do that.  Next  
time you see a request you'd like to handle, I can get you started and  
keep you going.  The nice benefit there is that there'll be a number  
of people who get the info; you, the user you helped, and then  
everyone else who reads your responses.

If you want to write a doc or create an example, great.  I'm happy to  
tell you what you want to know and you can share that information in  
the doc or example.  Again everyone wins.

Bottom line: requesting information and sharing it with others is a  
great contribution and one that will empower you and others at the  
same time.

So the offer is out there :)

I can also attest to David's knowledge.  The best thing is that when
dealing with people, he is very patient and does a great deal to make
sure you understand what is being discussed.  David is a great steward
of OpenEJB and with this offer, anyone getting involved should take
him up if the need arises.

Take care,

Jeremy

And I have talked to David over the phone a couple of times and it has
really saved me a lot of time. David has already been able to walk me
through the code and explain things on the way. I have been able to ask him
specific questions on certain sections of the code.

Thanks a lot David, the conversations were very very informative.
