Watch the IzPack commits history… on video!

Thanks to the awesome Gource project, you can generate a video from your favorite project commits history!

I just did that on IzPack:

Note that IzPack did not use CVS in the beginning, hence the video starts in 2002.

Enjoy :-)

JOnAS 5 and IzPack

I was giving JOnAS 5 a try today, and I could verify what I told in a conference last week: you are always the last person to know when people use your software :-)

The installer launches from Java WebStart and guides you through all the steps to get a JOnAS application server ready. I took a few screenshots.

Well done guys, really!

IzPack at fOSSa 2009

This week I had the pleasure to attend and present at the fOSSa 2009 conference which was held in Grenoble, France.

The event was very pleasant and well organized, with good content and networking. It was also the occasion for me to see friends such as Ludovic (aka Mr OpenDS) who was one of the attendees.

I did a talk on IzPack and community building. I started with a demo and an overview of IzPack, then I shared some thoughts on free / opensource software. The good news is that I stirred some emotions from a Mandriva guy (who was very funny and interesting BTW) when I attacked the AGPL and GPL licenses for being evil, and only used by anxious people (which is true anyway :-) ).

I'll probably extract those specific slides and make separate blog posts to explain those thoughts, as it may be interesting to this audience.

I have posted the slides on Slideshare (the pictures on slides 3 and 4 come from FlickR CC-licensed materials).
