I had two full time jobs in a row using Struts/Hibernate, and I kept telling my colleagues that Spring/Hibernate or WebWork/Hibernate would be better/easier/faster/cleaner. They didn't listen. Then I discovered Drupal and realized that it was all the framework I ever needed and quit my job. I've never looked back.
we never met, but my father gave your sister trombone lessons, and your brother was my piano accompanist at Solo and Ensemble. When I was about 10, you gave me a gift of about 7-8 of your titles for the Commodore 64, and I've been waiting all these years to say "Thank you!"
I often lay in bed at night thinking about how I could have lived my life differently, thinking about the different branches that I might have taken on the grand decision chart (not because I have regrets, mind you). Since I've become a software professional, albeit quite indirectly, having played horn in a German orchestra for a while first, I often wonder what it would have been like if I had skipped the musician part and started out in software back then, when you gave me those games.
My question, which follows one of those late night scenarios that I mull over, is this; if I had not only said "Thank you!" back when it would have been polite to do so, but also shown you the number guessing game that I had just programmed for the C64, and maybe some of the Sprites that I had painted, might you have become my mentor and taught me everything there was to know about making great games?
Enclosures - where are they? One of the most useful things that RSS is being used for is not included in the standard? Despite their popularity? Who can explain this to me?
Apache is an umbrella organization for like a zillion projects. The http server for example. It's not surprising, therefore, that they are largely represented. We'll see the breakdown of apache projects eventually, but I too had noticed that asf and codehaus are the only two Java projects. I think this is more a matter of Java groups not applying on time than any bias for/against them.

Dear Sid,

As you can tell from the way the drupal.org site is (not) responding, it is still being run from the old server.
Apache is an umbrella organization for like a zillion projects. The http server for example. It's not surprising, therefore, that they are largely represented.

The number I understood was $4,500 for the student and $500 for the mentoring organization.
