Yes, to my biggest surprise, and biggest pride, I've been elected as a member of the Apache Software Foundation. More than being an active participant of the Cocoon project, I am now an integral part of this organisation that brought me so much nice things in the last 3 ...
Commercial support for Open Source solutions just got better.
As you may have noticed ( Bertrand did), a number of Cocooners have been teasing last week about an important upcoming event. I'm part of this game also. Just an additional clue : last week, I have given a Cocoon training, and talked about some Europe-wide Cocoon training and support. Stay ...

Today was the grand opening of our swimming pool. I call it "milestone 1" (reference to Cocoon is not a coincidence ;-) since it's functionnal, but not finished. As you can see on the picture, there's still a lot to do around it. Nevertheless, kids like it. And parents ...
Nicola Ken says that we, hackers, are in fact addicts living in a tribe. He's right. Addiction comes because you're working (can we still call this "work" ?) with people that "share some neurons" with you, as Steven likes to say, on stuff that you have chosen to work ...
