OpenSource and Math Never Lies

An airhacks.fm conversation with Amelia Eiras-Blevins
(@ameliaeiras) about: physics and math studies, in Ecuador you have
to choose your major earlier, changing from computer science to
finance, without learning, everything becomes boring, the math
never lies and is therefore simple, the formulas and understanding
the "why", it is not about the frameworks, it is about the
principles, choosing calculus for fun, the dry C and C++ without
microprofile, the NAG Numerical Library for Fortran, The Gödel,
Escher, Bach Book: An Eternal Golden Braid the untold secrets about
David Blevins, Apache TomEE, it is not about titles, it is about
responsibilities, growth can be healthy, the relation between TomEE
and Tomitribe is similar to the relation of Glassfish and Payara,
Tomitribe provides support for TomEE, Tomcat and ActiveMQ, Tomtribe
partners with Sonatype to provide patches faster, OpenSource is not
a business model, Apache Las Vegas conference happens before
CodeONE, opensource projects should not just survive with the
sponsor's help, TomEE comprises nine top level Apache projects,
commercial support saves time and money, Sun created JCP, Sun
welcomed everyone else, 410 Java Specification Requests (JSR) were
submitted and about 130 rejected, 59 IP owners are asked to
transfer their knowledge from JCP to Eclipse, JCP was a great
success, JCP came with documentation out-of-the box, Jakarta EE
Working Groups are the successor of JCP, large companies are not
evil, but they are not always reasonable, MicroProfile was founded
3 years ago, JSR 382: Configuration API 1.0 was filed under the
Eclipse Foundation Inc. name, MicroProfile highly welcomes
contributions, if you have ideas - implement it, MicroProfile comes
with flat organizational structure, it is easier to start a
MicroProfile project, than an Apache project, the Tomitribe
projects, the Tribestream API gateway, Tribestream was launched at
CodeONE, TomEE does good and Tomitribe even better, make your first
commit and you get a nice banner,
