High demands and never-ending work have always been an issue in the IT profession. One man wrote the seminal work years ago on how to handle these issues efficiently and effectively:
Seems they don't know much about PR. Their announcement really makes them sound like pricks.
What they should have done is been much more diplomatic. Talked about personal differences from a business standpoint, but emphasized their devotion to the JBoss project.
Instead, they basically said, we're leaving and this really f***s up JBoss, hahah:
"The JBoss Group has suffered losses before and come out strong. But have they ever sustained an attack of this scale? No way. Neither Sun nor BEA could have pulled off something this personally damaging to Fleury's company. The pressure that pulled them apart had to come from within."
It took me a while to realize that they would be providing competing services to the same code-base. At first read, it sounded to me like they were intentionally trying to undermine the whole notion of an open-source J2EE server. Makes them sound like immature ego-driven 455h013s. Hell, they are immature ego-driven 455h013s. Not for leaving the Fleury's company but for pissing on them on the way out the door. BEA and perhaps MS will have a field day with this, and use this as evidence that you can't trust the long-term viability of open-source projects, outside of that anomaly Linux. That's not true, but the cutesy little ball-buster CDN published sure adds fodder to such bogus arguments.
