Friday April 28, 2006 Giving Back
If you have an encyclopaedic memory, you'll remember that last year Boeing and the US Army decided to use JXTA technology in their key future combat support projects where there's a need for a peer-to-peer service discovery mechanism. You may have thought JXTA had been forgotten but in fact the JXTA community is vibrant as it turns five years old.
I just heard from the JXTA team that they now have agreement from Boeing and the US Army to contribute all the improvements made to the core JXTA implementation for this project back to the open source community. This is great news, and just the way I expect more and more software projects to evolve - real open source in action, with opportunities for innovation and growth that a closed approach just can't match. So powerful, and so good for everyone involved.
