  • Philippine Open Source Summit

    Back in late June, I was able to attend the Philippine Open Source Summit in Cebu. It was another good trip, both for the conference and the opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues.
    The conference itself was very well attended, so it is great to see that level of interest in open source in […]

  • What I Value at the ASF

    I’ve been given a couple of reasons to think about what it is that I value about being a contributor to the Apache Software Foundation this year. Someone raised the question of "the Apache way" again today, and so I thought it was worth repeating my own opinions.

    I value that projects are not islands. I […]

  • Being reminded of the benefits of a community in open source

    To anyone that has worked in a healthy open source community, this will seem like a no-brainer, but sometimes it’s good to be reminded of the real benefits when you involve a community of diverse developers in what you’re doing.
    Earlier in the week, Joakim brought up the discussion topic on the Archiva Development List about […]

  • Carlos Sanchez on Maven, Eclipse, Kepler and Q4E

    After a busy period over the end of September/October travelling and going to Eclipse Summit, I got to post an interview with Carlos Sanchez on devzuz.org. We talked about his history in Maven, and what he has been up to with Eclipse and Maven recently.
    Enjoy!

    I’m also very pleased to announce that Deng Ching will now be co-presenting the […]

  • Catching up with Deng Ching from Apache Maven and Archiva

    I’ve just posted another interview at the main devzuz.org site, this time with Deng Ching. Deng is the newest Maven PMC member, and among plenty of other things there, has been working on Archiva almost since its inception.
    After a successful start to the series talking to Emmanuel, I’m now planning to talk to a developer […]

  • Interview with Emmanuel Venisse of Apache Maven and Continuum

    I recently decided to catch up with Emmanuel and conduct an interview with him about his involvement in Maven since the early days, and his work at DevZuz.

    I’ve had the pleasure of not only working with Emmanuel, but meeting him a few times face to face, including in his home town near Paris, France. […]

  • DevZuz Global Get Together in Cebu

    enzuziasm (en-zoo-zee-az-uhm), n., what results from getting a group of geographically challenged developers in one place for a week.
    The DevZuz development team had the rare opportunity for a get together in the Philippines a couple of weeks back, flying in from all corners of the globe to meet in the Cebu offices of Exist […]

  • Healthy Activity on the Maven Users List

    With the entire DevZuz team together last week, we’ve been spending some time sharing our thoughts on the things that are important to us. For my part, I decided to put together a presentation on how community-style development works in the ASF and how DevZuz should be participating in it. (For those that are […]
