Dev - Interesting Compiere News

If you haven't seen it already, this is interesting: http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/06/20/79456_HNcompiere_1.html?source=NLC-OS2006-06-21 It looks like Compiere got some good funding. While we could be jealous of such a thing, it is really good for OFBiz. Compiere has been fence sitting for a while saying they are a community driven open source project, but moving more and more toward the commercial model with a central development team and such. So what is good about this? It puts OFBiz in the very unique position in the open source enterprise software world of being very nearly the _only_ community driven and fully "free" enterprise open source project. I can't wait to finish the Apache incubation as that will solidify this position even more. -David _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |

I agree. It also highlights validity of open source application software
(open source system software has achieved validity a while ago). It may even help convince some customers.

6 million dollars isn't a lot if you're going to throw a lot of it away moving from a town like Portland, Oregon to the bay area, not to mention all the distraction that sort of thing causes. > I can't wait to finish the Apache incubation as that will solidify this position even more.

Sounds like the perfect environment to get the creative juices flowing! Hey, even if you don't get a whole lot of work done, what you do get done should be very high quality... or reminiscent of violence or city/country planning. -David BJ Freeman wrote: > Ah yes the Sunnyvale syndrome..

sure, but the cost per line of code sure goes up, so that 6 million
should last about 2 years. Seen a lot of venture capital operation down there in the 80's. Most companies were surprised to find out they did not own anything any more. the VC did, and after the first round, they were out on their ears. David E.

I'm still stuck on this where I last left off... I don't know of any way to get the subscriber list out... If anyone has any experience with, or knowledge of, Mailman circa version 2.1.6 and knows of a way to export a subscriber list, it would be very helpful. So far all I can come up with is to cut from the subscriber list HTML page and then line by line cut out all the crap and make something moderately useful... I guess for obvious reasons I don't really like that approach. We could just tell everyone to subscribe to the new lists and see how big the raft is leaving the island... ;) -David _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |

David,
Sounds like you're getting spoiled with your assortment of hammers in your toolbox. If it outputs your subscribers to a browser in tabular format grab yourself a spreadsheet and a couple of left, right, find commands (or if you need, a text editor that does column select discussed a few weeks ago) and whack away. --- David E Jones <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > David Welton wrote: > >> I can't wait to finish the Apache incubation as > that will solidify this position even more. > > > > Any progress on extracting a subscriber list from > the mailing lists? > > I'm still stuck on this where I last left off...

How about awk/gawk, it can do just about anything!
If you want to send me the page, I'll try to get someone to write something for it. - Andrew On Wed, 2006-06-21 at 22:45 -0600, David E Jones wrote: > > David Welton wrote: > >> I can't wait to finish the Apache incubation as that will solidify this position even more. > > > > Any progress on extracting a subscriber list from the mailing lists? > > I'm still stuck on this where I last left off...

Thanks Jacopo, This one did it. Fortunately mailman has a utility built in to do just what we need. Thanks to others for suggestions too... -David Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > David, > > can this link be useful? > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-December/041363.html > > Jacopo > > David E Jones wrote: >> David Welton wrote: >>>> I can't wait to finish the Apache incubation as that will solidify this position even more. >>> Any progress on extracting a subscriber list from the mailing lists? >> I'm still stuck on this where I last left off...
