Burr, what was the women-in-programming thing that was anounced in last
months AJUG meeting?

So far the comments here were fairly positive but were very limited. 

The TSS crowd is normally fairly harsh so they are the wrong "benchmark"
aside from the fact that all that public noise shows up in your Google
searches and might dissuade you from selecting that solution.  Whenever
I chose a new tech/product (just bought a camcorder) I do read all of
the "negative" reviews to see if the points made apply to my use case. 

If GPL is the biggest negative that people have...that one doesn't
bother me personally UNLESS I'm an ISV (independent software vendor) who
wishes to embed the technology as if it were just part of my finished
product. If that were the case, I would have to consider sending
SpringSource a check to pay for those runtimes.   GPL normally doesn't
bother the average big business/enterprise IT since they are already
using tools like Linux and MySQL.

	Can they become the next monopoly in the app server market?  I
think they have a fair shot at it because the great adoption of the
framework and the other projects. Also modularity, bundles, and
versioning could make easier the way we develop today.
