But revolutions, if successful, become the new establishment. Open source was a grass roots revolution.
Express burn v4.62 free#
If the top technology companies want to fall all over each other to give me high quality free software, so they can count me among the throng that puts their sticker on my computer, it works for me. Revenue is one measure of success, and essential, but the new prime metric seems to be "developer mindshare". I suspect some of the motivation comes from IBM and Microsoft trying to return to relevance in a changing world where developers have moved away from expensive, proprietary, subscription development tools. It was probably a revolution from within. Most of the technology middle managers at these companies today with ten to fifteen years experience grew up with open source. I imagine open source values were foreign to Fortune 500 decision makers twenty years ago, but consider this. I think we are all still surprised that Microsoft is acting like a good citizen in Node.js, including open sourcing the ChakraCore engine. I remember my disbelief when Walmart turned out to be a significant contributor to Node.js, both Hapi technology and success stories. These projects include Spark, OpenStack, Cloud Foundry, Open Contain Project, Node.js, CouchDb, Linux, Eclipse and an already established relationship with Apache." From a 2015 press release, "Currently, IBM participates in and contributes to more than 150 open source projects. If you Google search for "IBM open source", you will find IBM is very active contributing to open source, and has been for many years. I remember how IBM shocked industry by switching to Linux in 2000 and investing $1B in Linux development.
Please keep your comments and recommendations coming to ensure all points of view are considered. This will take some time to get it right and we ask for your patience. We are also looking at ways to optimize how the express and related repositories are organized to make it easier to contribute to the project by community members as individuals and in organizations (including IBM).
This means more dedicated developers on the project than ever before. Other names are likely to follow as we more clearly understand what is required and how we can assist. IBM leadership has heard the call for help loud and clear and is announcing increased sponsorship of the project including two very talented IBM developers: (Yaapa) and (Mike). It just shows how dedicated is to this project that he has been doing it for this long and without much help. I know from experience that triaging issues and working on bugs is not very exciting work. I agree with concerns that has been unfairly carrying the project maintenance, which just isn't sustainable. Express is certainly active and poised to move even faster.
