Last day I was reading a post of Luis Sala from Alfresco and, I have to admit it, I was amazed how he turned to a better self since he met open source.

He seemed to me like vader quitting his mask and seeing the world with his own eyes : stop hiding things to his clients, have fun doing his job, stop selling licences, etc.

Is open source a miracle potion ? I really don’t think so. Nethertheless, working in the open source industry is really amazing. I agree with you on this point Luis. It’s a fantastic approach to satisfy our client’s needs and the best way to produce software. Sadly, open source can not make better personns of us. Personnaly, I prefer let that to psychotherapy.

Be fair and square, that’s how we roll at Nuxeo, since the beginning, and that’s how we build our success. I’m very happy to see that our vision is now shared by people that first laughed at us. Seems like Gandhi’s always right...

Just a few words to make an echo to Marc Fleury's last post. Definitly, we, at nuxeo, chose the red pill side of business not the cubical one. We're very proud of that. We think we can realize great things by being creative not by being a sheep.

What we're doing here is about defining a new business model and demonstrate that it is possible to be successful and innovative. We did it with CPS, the most powerfull open source ECM Platform and we're doing it again with Apogée in a rich client approach.

We have a lot in common with Jboss Group in the way we see the open source market. I hope we'll have the occasion to meet and make business together, I think it'll be good for both of our companies.

It's more than a job, it's a way of life and we also have trashy pictures :)

PS: Marc, next time we're in NYC, we would be really delighted to spend a night with you
