fnokd!

JBoss.ORG represents the opensource side of the house. Though, for some reason, we look just like the commercial side of the house.

You also end up at labs.jboss.com even though you typed jboss.org into your browser. Quite odd.
No really, we are kinda sorta separate from the mothership.
To help differentiate between the two, and try [...]

As noted previously, many of our projects are capable of sustaining a vibrant sub-community. This includes portlets, ESB connectors, side-projects like Drools.NET, things to jack into JCA, or even our growing collection of JSF things.
There’s activity related to these communities that .ORG needs to support. We’ll be making it easier for these friendly [...]

If you don’t measure, you can’t tell if you’re doing things right or wrong.
You can measure downloads (accounting for spiders, bots and attacks), site visits, RSS subscriptions, site registrations, forum posts. All sorts of things.
You can measure how many issues are opening in JIRA versus those that were closed in the last week. [...]

There’s people out there talking about us and our projects. They’re blogging. They’re writing articles. They’re speaking at conferences.
And we don’t necessarily promote them on JBoss.ORG very well yet.
We need to start pointing out to our community when others in the community are speaking.
Del.icio.us can help.
Every day, JBoss developers and community members [...]

Tomek and Mark are working together to figure out our wiki/CMS strategy. Ultimately, we have the use-cases of

Easy-to-use for developers & community members
Freakin’ pretty to look at
Browsable through a portlet on jboss.org
Versioned (just like the code it matches)
Multiple formats (HTML, PDF)
Multiple languages

We’re not sure what form this will all take, but it’s the goal.
We [...]

To say that “blogging” at JBoss has been contentious would be an understatement. There’s currently two different places/ways of blogging at JBoss. And one of them allows blog posts to go missing without a trace. (Thanks Blojsom!)
Ultimately, software to allow humans to blog isn’t overly interesting, until you get to the point of [...]

Just got back from Vegas, where I participated on a panel about opensource and business at TheServerSide Java Symposium. It involved five of us from businesses that were related to opensource in some form. It did not include Geir Magnusson, who apparently had better things to do.

Alfresco, John Newton
JBoss, some guy with a [...]

James Governor of RedMonk had a less-than-flattering comment about how JBoss blogs.

I think part of the problem is that a lot of interesting JBoss blogging occurs at places other than blogs.jboss.com. Basically, you simply have to look further than blogs.jboss.com.
For example, the JBoss Rules team blogs hellagood over at the JBoss Rules Blog. [...]

It’s Friday, and we all like having friends, so…

myspace.com/codehaus
myspace.com/jboss_org

And don’t act like you don’t have a MySpace account. You know you do.

We’ve got a bundle of opensource communities all over the place now. Some of them are the opensource arm of an otherwise capitalistic commercial entity:

JBoss.ORG
SugarForge
OpenLaszlo
MySQL.org

Others are non-profit, or not tightly tied to a corporation:

Apache Software Foundation
Codehaus Foundation
OpenQA

None of these should be confused with .nets, such as SourceForge.net or java.net. The .nets of the world [...]
