IndieGogo campaign: a month of Apache Tapestry 5

[Thiago H de Paula Figueiredo <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I've just went live with an IndieGogo campaign so I can work a whole month  
in Tapestry itself and nothing else fixing bugs, implementing new stuff  
and working on the documentation.

Here's the link:  
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-month-of-apache-tapestry-5.

Any questions, just ask. :) But I'll answer another one right now:  
regardless of the campaign succeeding or not, I'll continue posting stuff  
in the mailing list and doing my occasional code contributions the same  
way and I've been doing until now. In other words, nothing changes.

Here's the campaign text, just in case, with all the details:

Introduction

Disclaimers: This campaign is done by me, Thiago, as an independent  
individual, not by the Apache Software Foundation or the Apache Tapestry  
project. I'm not representing the Foundation in any way in this campaign  
nor Apache endorses it. The Foundation has a policy of not paying for  
development work. All its members are voluntary, me included. Any code  
I'll write or change will pass the usual Tapestry team approval process.  
If this campaign isn't funded, I'll continue participating in the Tapestry  
project in the same way as always.

  I'm Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo, an Apache Tapestry 5 committer and PMC  
(Project Management Committee) member. I've posted more than 5700 times in  
the user mailing lists. Apache Tapestry is an open-source, Java Web  
framework built and supported by a team of voluntary members who work on  
it for free and by love.

  I dream about the idea of being able to work on Apache Tapestry itself,  
on its codebase and documentation, not just in my free time. I'm very  
passionate about this framework. I envy the people who are paid to work on  
open source projects, so they can spend lots of time in the projects they  
love. I wish I could do the same, even if it was for a short period of  
time. I love open source, I love Apache Tapestry, I love to help people to  
solve their problems, know the framework better and code happier. That's  
what this campaign is about.

  Right now, I'm in a period between gigs, so I have a free schedule to  
work on it, and then I have an opportunity. But this free time cannot be  
free, because I, as you and everyone else, have bills to pay. So I thought  
it would be a perfect time to run a fixed-funding IndieGogo campaign to  
have me working exclusively on the Apache Tapestry codebase for a whole  
month, 160 hours on the clock, fixing some stuff, build other stuff and  
hopefully speeding up the 5.4 release. I'd work on the documentation too.

  Notice that, in terms of dollar per worked hour, it is signicantly lower  
than at my last gig. This campaign isn't about money, is about being able  
to work in what I love.
What will be done?

  The actual issues to be worked will be discussed among the backers, but  
I've took a long look at the Apache Tapestry issue tracker (JIRA),  
starting for the most voted issues, checked which ones I could  
successfully fix or implement, then I came up with the following initial  
(not final) list. The order in which the issues will be tackled will also  
be discussed among the backers.

Issue	
Description

TAP5-2029	
Copy annotations from service implementation to proxy

TAP5-2235

TAP5-2187	
CSS relative URL rewriting isn't lenient enough

TAP5-2185

invalid dates to valid ones)

TAP5-2168	
Asset Not Found messages are prompting to put assets into wrong location

TAP5-1611	
out-of-the-box way in Tapestry for replacing components

Perks

  All perks include the addition of your name and URL in a thank-you page  
in my personal blog (http://machina.com.br).
$20: a thank you
  Did you ever asked something in the Tapestry mailing list and got a good  
answer for me? Did you ever searched the Internet for Tapestry questions  
and found the solution in a post of mine? This is a way of saying "thank  
you".
$50: a bigger thank you
  If I ever posted something that prevented you of wasting hours on a  
problem in your project using Apache Tapestry, you can give a bigger  
"thank you".
$100: one hour of support
  You get one hour of support through Google Hangout or Skype. Any code I  
write during this period belongs to you.
$180: two hours of support
  You get two hours of support through Google Hangout or Skype. Any code I  
write during this period belongs to you.
$700: eight hours of support
  You get eight hours of support through Google Hangout or Skype. Any code  
I write during this period belongs to you.
$500: you in my e-mail signature
  You choose a line to be added in my e-mail signature when I post in the  
Tapestry mailing lists. It'll stay there for one month. I average almost  
11 posts per week. In case more than one backer picks this perk, it'll be  
first come, first served. Check with me at thiagohp at gmail dot com  
before picking this perk.

Why back this campaign?

A way of saying "thank you" for my efforts for the Tapestry project
Influence what I'm going to do next (but not the Apache Project itself)
Having your pet issue taken care more quickly
  Having your or your company name and URL in a thank you page in my  
personal blog at http://machina.com.br. Larger contributions will come  
first and in a larger font size.
  There are a perks which give you one hour or more hours of support  
through Google Hangout or Skype.
  There's another perk which allows you to add a line of your choice in my  
personal e-mail signature for a given period of time.

Risks

  I've made an estimate of the above tasks and I do think I can finish them  
all in the 160 hours of work for this campaign. Of course, things can turn  
out to be more complex and time-consuming than I estimated, but, no matter  
what, if this campaign is funded, I'll spend 160 hours working on the  
Tapestry codebase and documentation, not including the time I already  
spend in the mailing lists.

  Another risk would be me getting a good job offer before I finish the 160  
hours. This can delay my work, but I'll guarantee that, having this  
campaign reach its goal, I'll spend 160 hours working on the Tapestry  
codebase and documentation, not including the time I already spend in the  
mailing lists.
What if the campaign is not funded?

  In this case, nothing changes, everything goes as if the campaign never  
happened. I'll continue participating on the Apache Tapestry in my free  
time in the exact same way I've been doing in the last 6 years: lots of  
messages on the mailing lists and some code contributions.
Deadline

  My initial plan is to work the 160 hours in the 30 days after the  
confirmation of the funding. Even if the initial plan falls apart due to  
an eventual outstanding job offer, my ultimate deadline will be 7 months  
after I get the confirmation this campaign if funded. This deadline was  
calculated considering I'd work 40 hours per week in the eventual job I'd  
get and 5.7 hours per week on Tapestry.

You're backpedaling in your statements. Negative troll points for you.

Stating "facts" you cannot back up with evidence. More negative troll

Hey, as I said before, my master is my wife :D, who is a nutritionist and  
a wonderful cook, but I won't do what she does because I have no nutrition  
knowledge and suck at cooking. :(

> CODE WICKET!

Good trolls are subtle. More negative troll points for you.

If you really sympathise with me, and I don't think you do, why don't you  
make a nice contribution to my IndieGogo campaign? ;) You'd feel better by  
doing what you'd think is charity and I'd get some more money. Win-win  
situation! :D

My last words for you: I prefer to be a committer in a  
niche-but-incredibly-awesome framework than an awful,  
really-bad-at-trolling troll as you.

Hi Thiago,

How are you today?

I know being a Tapestry coder is not easy to make enough money to pay the
bills and I can understand why you're struggling. The fact of the matter is
that Tapestry is not used by serious companies or in serious projects.
Tapestry is dead. By dead I don't mean no one is using it but rather no one
is using it on serious projects.

That is why I strongly urge you to quit Tapestry and do something that can
bring enough money to pay the bills. Even Howard is now coding Wicket
because he couldn't find any client that wants to adopt Tapestry.

I have good news for you. I talked to some clients in your area in Brazil
who are willing to take you on Wicket projects. I told them you're not a
Wicket guy but they still want you because Tapestry is quite close to
Wicket when it comes to concepts and ideologies. Drop me a line if you're
interested and I'll hook you up.

I must say I sympathise with you for not being able to make ends meet
coding Tapestry. The answer is simple, do what your master does- CODE
WICKET!

Cheers

I think the same invoice that issue when you do freelancer work should do.
Not sure if there special rules if the company receiving the invoice is in
the EU.

Though I am not sure how does crowd funding changes the rules of invoicing.
Especially if the goal is not met.

Balazs

contributed if it contributes?

Indeed, and a decent amount does. I'd also rather not include two huge JS
libraries. Granted, that's more of an aesthetic issue for me. Plenty of web
sites I've come across use Prototype and jQuery and some others.

On the other hand, I'm glad Tapestry had moved away from prototype. It was
great in the day, but jQuery has a much richer set of plugins, so I'd
prefer to use it for new work.

Taking a direction on client-side templating and data binding perhaps? AngularJS integration is something 
we were thinking about edging towards in-house; sure it's on other people's minds too! 


This is a great direction to take Thiago! I'm sure it'll benefit the project immensely!

I hope it works out. Anything you can add to help porting from prototype-based Tapestry JS code to T5.4 would be welcome. I've got thousands of lines of JS code in my apps.

Re: IndieGogo campaign: a month of Apache Tapestry 5

[Norman Franke <no...@myasd.com>]

I hope it works out. Anything you can add to help porting from prototype-based Tapestry JS code to T5.4 would be welcome. I've got thousands of lines of JS code in my apps.

Good luck!

I'm not representing the Foundation in any way in this campaign nor Apache endorses it. The Foundation has a policy of not paying for development work. All its members are voluntary, me included. Any code I'll write or change will pass the usual Tapestry team approval process. If this campaign isn't funded, I'll continue participating in the Tapestry project in the same way as always.

Apache Tapestry is an open-source, Java Web framework built and supported by a team of voluntary members who work on it for free and by love.

> I dream about the idea of being able to work on Apache Tapestry itself, on its codebase and documentation, not just in my free time. I'm very passionate about this framework. I envy the people who are paid to work on open source projects, so they can spend lots of time in the projects they love. I wish I could do the same, even if it was for a short period of time. I love open source, I love Apache Tapestry, I love to help people to solve their problems, know the framework better and code happier. That's what this campaign is about.

But this free time cannot be free, because I, as you and everyone else, have bills to pay. So I thought it would be a perfect time to run a fixed-funding IndieGogo campaign to have me working exclusively on the Apache Tapestry codebase for a whole month, 160 hours on the clock, fixing some stuff, build other stuff and hopefully speeding up the 5.4 release. I'd work on the documentation too.

Hi, everyone!

I'm speechless. I'm lost for words. I really don't know how to describe  
how happy and grateful to all of you for allowing me to spend a whole  
month working on Apache Tapestry, something I'm so passionate about. Thank  
you! And I'll thank you even more by working very hard to make Tapestry  
even better.

I'll blog my whole progress at http://machina.com.br (which is built on  
Tapestry, of course!) and I hope you participate by commenting and  
providing feedback. I'll probably start next week.

Cheers! And thank you again! :D

Great initiative, twelve hours and 740$ to go. Let's make it happen!

May I remind you that Thiago will not receive any money (donations are 
refunded) when the target is not met, so if you want Thiago to spend a 
month full-time on Tapestry, then now is the time to do your part and 
contribute to the campaign.

Kind regards,
Joachim

Re: IndieGogo campaign: a month of Apache Tapestry 5

[Chris Mylonas <ch...@opencsta.org>]

The ML hustle is strong with Mr T.
The support option is really cool (and I'm interested) - particularly with
5.4 coming out soon[1]

I hope you make your target and we all benefit.

Cheers
Chris

Even if the initial plan falls apart due to an eventual outstanding job offer, my ultimate deadline will be 7 months after I get the confirmation this campaign if funded. This deadline was calculated considering I'd work 40 hours per week in the eventual job I'd get and 5.7 hours per week on Tapestry.

Re: IndieGogo campaign: a month of Apache Tapestry 5

[Bogdan Ivascu <iv...@gmail.com>]

Following Igor's book, slightly better documentation for the java script

That was pretty funny I have to admit. You should start working on some new material though.

Re: IndieGogo campaign: a month of Apache Tapestry 5

[Jon Williams <wi...@gmail.com>]

Ok Emmanuel,

I think u've made your point. U don't like Tapestry or Mr 'Ship. Those
parts are understood. You don't have to keep repeating yourself for our
benefit. We're all grown ups here. We can live and die by our own hands
without your help. Thanks for sharing your opinion, there may have been
some tiny marginal merit to it 1st time *cough*. But enough is enough.
You're like a broken record. Stop hating your life away you troll.

Re: IndieGogo campaign: a month of Apache Tapestry 5

[Emmanuel Sowah <es...@gmail.com>]

Dude,

Glad you've finally found out yourself that following and coding Tapestry
won't pay the bills. It's a failed framework and nobody is using it for
serious work.
If you really want to earn serious cash that would pay the bills, take a
serious look at other serious frameworks like Apache Wicket. Howard is
already happily coding Wicket on his clients' projects. Else he would have
gone bankrupt by now.

Thiago, be wise and quit the sinking (Howard Lewis) Ship, as Jesse Kuhnert did
a few years ago. He also couldn't pay his bills by just coding Tapestry. He
then left for other compelling and serious web framework. Life is short,
Thiago. So don't waste time. Stop letting Howard use you like a slave.

Cheers

Well done Thiago, now IndieGogo is broken, most likely because everyone
wants to participate in your campaign. ;)

And it is already too late to be the first supporter...

Will try again tomorrow.
