Thanks From VisibleResults

Hi,

A big thank-you for Velocity.

On Thursday and Friday we had a development conference at Sundayta's 
offices (http://www.sundayta.com) for VisibleResults 
(http://www.visres.org and 
http://www.sf.sourceforge.net/projects/visibleresults).

We had 11 people (2 client representatives, 1 graphic designer, 1 tester 
and documenter, 6 developers and me as chief coffee maker). All agreed 
it was a great success.

For it's MVC architecture VisibleResults now uses:-

     Model = Java Relational Framework aka JRF see
       http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jrf

     View = Velocity see
       http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/index.html

     Controller = ActionServlet see
       http://dione.zcu.cz/~toman40/ActionServlet/

Our Database is Firebird see http://www.firebirdsql.com using the new 
Java_Client.

We got all layers working fully together with some unit tests, we were 
also able to integrate the HTML Trees from Melati 
(http://www.melati.org). We designed a huge amount of the user interface 
and still had time for learning Extreme Programming by doing it. What is 
more we also had some great food (Tim, was that a whole sheep?) and company.

Our thanks to everyone involved in these great open source projects as 
well as all the others we use in this project (above and beyond our 
complete GNU/Linux systems). That includes

     Ant for building see http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html

     JUnit for unit tests see http://www.junit.org

     Jikes as our compiler see http://www.jikes.org

If you would like to know more as either a contributor or user about 
VisibleResults (which is a GPL'd Fundraising Application for charities 
and a more general Contact Management System) then I would love to hear 
from you.

Regards

Dave Warnock
Managing Director

Unfortunately, the Virgin group is made up of quite separate business 
units, still you could ask people to send you some vouchers towards the 
flights :-)

Ok.  We'll keep it quiet that http://www.virginincentives.co.uk and
http://www.virgin-experience.co.uk might be powered by velocity.

They won't hear about it from us.

No siree.  Not http://www.virgin-experience.co.uk or
http://www.virginincentives.co.uk

geir

Maybe they can upgrade me out of cattle-class next time I fly them so I can
avoid BA and still have room to do some work.. :)

Yes of course if it is of use.

I also hope to get permission for you to list 2 sites we have done for 
Virgin Incentives (http://www.virginincentives.co.uk and 
http://www.virgin-experience.co.uk). I will let you know when these can 
go on the powered by pages until then keep it quiet that they are 
powered by Velocity ;-)

Can I assume that we can put this on the site as a testimonial?
