Cowboy community

I ran into an old SeeBeyond buddy from another office yesterday, and he told me that a couple of ex-SeeBeyond developers, Edy Yang and Dan Cidon, are turning a nice chunk of change doing Java CAPS implementations. The old SeeBeyond would have frowned on this kind of cowboy systems integration outfit, preferring to work with people in white shirts and conservative ties, but I think Sun would say it's pretty cool. Once Java CAPS is freely downloadable, I think a lot of entrepreneurial cowboys and cowgirls are going to see that it's a system integrator's dream, and start using it in projects from small business to giant organizations. Edy and Dan are a couple of the smartest guys I know, and systems integration miracle workers, and I hope we'll see more of guys like them as we build our community.

Lubricating a community

Now here's the kind of community-building I can get used to. I see on Mary Mary Quite Contrary's blog that there will be a social opportunity for Sun bloggers at some gin mill adjacent to JavaOne! Hee-hee! Count me in on this one.
