Leaving Cocoon, sadly
Today I formally left the Apache Cocoon project. Way too late really, as I've not been able to keep up with the project for some time now. Running my own company seems to have shifted my priorities somewhat.
Open Source is still a large part of what we do, but Cocoon just isn't currently on my radar-screen. That's really a pity - not because of the software - but because of the great people there. Through being part of the Cocoon project for many years I was able to meet and get to know people from all over the world - many of which I'm still in contact with regularly. Friends.
For me, that is my personal takeaway from Open Source - being part of a diverse set of personalities, cultures and egos. And yet all working towards a common goal. Priceless.
