CRX 1.4.1 released - powered by Apache Jackrabbit & Sling - thanks!

[Greg Klebus <gr...@klebus.com>]

Hi All,

I'd like to thank the Apache Jackrabbit and Apache Sling communities
for your contributions to the two excellent open-source products,
which we at Day use as a basis for our commercially-supported Content
Repository Extreme (CRX) product [1]!

Please see the dev.day.com announcement of the CRX 1.4.1 release [2]
for more information if you are interested. For one thing, we've got
new licensing, including the free CRX Developer edition [3] for all
non-production usage of CRX!

Cheers,

Absolutely agree. It´s very important to know as many Sling/Jackrabbit
case estudies as possible.

Congratulations!.

Believe me, I did get some extra feedback/bashing from Day devs here
in the office, including a detailed analysis of my post (e.g., I used
so many exclamation marks! Why?!!!! Doh!). Lesson learned. I'm glad we
have clarified the rules a little at the same time - I myself would be
interested in how Jackrabbit (and Sling) is used in other companies'
products.

Cheers
Greg

Good on them ;-)

Michael, I agree with you that Greg's and your post are on a similar
"spam level" if we want to call it like that.

In my opinion, what would have made the difference is using [ANN] and
[JOB] tags in the subject lines.

Coming from community members (i.e. people who are actively involved
in a project, at least as regular mailing list posters), I think the
occasional job or product announcement is fine, provided it is
identified with such a tag.

Just my 2c though, I'm not a committer nor PMC member here, and not
speaking with my board hat on either, just myself (this hats thing can
be hard to manage sometimes ;-)

My comment on that thread was:

"I don't see anything wrong with job offers as long as they are
related  to JCR and Jackrabbit and not too frequent. Especially when
the  company behind the offer participates in the community (i.e. I
don't want to see nameless head hunters roaming around here)."

My thinking on related product announcements is similar, so IMHO
Greg's message was fine.

We probably should follow up on the earlier idea of posting some
guidelines for these kinds of messages to build a better shared
understanding of what's appropriate and what's not.

I wouldn't consider that nasty of you, but just fair, but OTOH I think 
the topic itself is rather different, but yes, it's also about
deciding what is appropriate.

One more difference I see is that your post didn't seem to provoke many 
reactions (yet)

whereas mine did quite a bit

I guess all the devs (and in particular Day's devs) are on skiing 
vacation ;-)

Sorry you feel this way. I did want to thank the whole community, I
have thanked the Day engineering team in an internal email. I honestly
admit I wanted to let people know... being prod. manager for the
product and all.

I could have left out links to the release update blog, the interested
would have found out anyway.

Interesting question whether/under which condition would release
announcements be considered spam. I'll ask that separately, I think
announcements like this might be more interesting to users@ lists, if
the community's ok with that.

Cheers,
Greg
