Re: RC1 License file

ThSITC
Hello Mike,

     1.) Good to hear that you are still ALIVE!
     2.) Don't know anything about IBM Policies, but of GEISCO's ones
(20 years ago):

     GEISCO has been General Electric Information Services, marketing the
MARK I, II, then Mark IIII Time-Sharing Services, 40 years ago, and what
we did (I've been the System's Consultant and Developer's Manager there)
was very simple:

    -- you ought to bring up our company revenue
    -- what you do, is YOUR decision
    -- when you do NOT bring up the revenue expected, you can leave us.
    -- when YOU Contibute, you get a fair share !!!

    As thus, I did AUTHOR a couple of systems, at GEISCO's MARK III
Service, used WORLDWIDE, like EURO:ARCHIV, EURO:LOGOS, etc etc.

   What we did have at this time:

FUN (and CASH) by WORKING TOGETHER (worldwide: we did have
X-File  (nowadays called e-mail) back in 1967!!!)

    3.) Now, GEISCO has retired (they forgot about the INTERNET), and
You are retired as well, and IBM did forget te power of NetRexx (as they
did BUY RATIONAL ROSE).... :-(

    4.) I'm also (formally) retired, but running a new, expanding
Company, here in Vienna

    5.) as GEISCO did pay me 2 manager trainings, 5 sales trainings, and
I myself did train some 200 new GEISCO-employees in computer programming
and database technologies in Austria, Germany, Switzerland,
the NetherLands, and the UK, as well ...

... I'm a living DINOSAURIER :-)

Your advise how to implement NetRexx at the AS/400 will be, nevertheless,
welcome, of course.

*** END of my STORY ***

Have a nice week!

Massa Thomas.

Exactly why I refuse to join RexxLA - secret societies are not my thing.

What's involved, sophomoric secret handshakes and masks or hoods in public?
Gang colors and graffiti?  Secret initiation rites full of religious
symbolism, rituals, torture and death threats?  

Seriously, RexxLA claims to be a volunteer organization but it publishes no
charter or bylaws, and you have to pay dues to volunteer.  Just what is
RexxLA trying to hide, and how does it justify its secrecy?  I've asked
repeatedly in the past without an answer.  A little sunshine would go a
long way.

Having open source managed by a secret society doesn't make sense to me,
but that's the way it is.

For "ARB" you may look at

http://kenai.com/projects/netrexx/pages/NrxProjRoles

 

Don't know, who decides about membership, but just give them some time to open that process as well.

At least now NetRexx is open source allows you, as anyone else, to fork, if you don't like the current direction.

 

no harm intended

And to respond myself:

while the ARB is "under review", I guess you have a good chance to become a member of it, if you ash for it and volunteer to swallow the workload for two reasons:

You are not an RexxLA member - reduces secrecy

You have a good knowledge how to deal with NetRexx by you're welcomed Eclipse plugin project.

In reply to this post by billfen
Looking at RexxLA's web site where there are sections that have said
"under construction" for years now and most of the NetRexx links still
point to the obsolete IBM site, I suspect that there is no conspiracy
involved. It seems to me that no Rexx people want to do administrivia
nor have the time. But even though it took a decade, RexxLA did manage
to finally get NetRexx open sourced, giving me hope for the future of
programming so I am not giving up on them. They just move a little slow
at times!

Bill, Thomas,

Please, have a look at the project's wiki at Kenai. Particularly the pages titled 'Development process', 'Project charter' and 'Current Project Roles' should be of your interest.

All this info has always been public.

On the other hand I happen to be a RexxLA member since I think is 3 years now. I that time I've never become privy of any info about NetRexx, its open sourcing process or any other "insider info". There wasn't any insider info there.

I've been known to speculate about an hypothetical NDA shutting involved individuals' lips even to the point of forbidding them to confirm such NDA existence. To this day I've not been able to confirm or refute that, RexxLA member or not.

Please, stop bickering the RexxLA. One day I shelled out 24 bucks out of curiosity, liked it there, and stayed. Of course no one is forced in. Also, no one looses anything NetRexx by staying out.

PD: Tried several times to watch "Eyes wide shut" but never succeeded even being a Kubrick fan. Heck, I guess masks and hoods are not my thing.

Hi David,
    *and all*

Solving KUBRICK's game is very easy:

You only have to

*Brake the CUBE*

(1,2,3,4,5,6, ... times)

*LOOK INSIDE*

(what he has constructed)

and then ...

... suddenly, you understand his construction, and the game, as well!

Thomas.

Thanks David.

It is probably time we all met in person.

If we were to organize a Rexx Language Symposium in December on Aruba, who would come? It needs to be on the US side of the world, we had two successive symposia in Europe already, and the only place I can organize it would be there.

best regards,

René.

Thomas,

before you get too excited: http://kenai.com/projects/netrexx/pages/NrxProjRoles
and has been there almost since the open sourcing.

Re: RC1 License file

In reply to this post by Kermit Kiser
Kermit,

thanks  - you are right. The only conspiracy that I suspect to be there is the one that never leaves me with any free time.

Apart from the open sourcing taking a decade. Maybe we wanted this to happen for more than a decade, but as I remember it, the first serious talks between Mike and me about this were during the 2007 symposium, and it was formally announced at the 2008 Symposium - over Skype because I could not be there. Later that year I announced it outside of RexxLA to the JVM Languages Summit in Santa Clara. It took quite some time after that, but not anywhere near a decade - it was more like a bit more than 3 years.

But all's well that ends well, I think.

best regards,

René.

It seems to me that no Rexx people want to do administrivia nor have the time. But even though it took a decade, RexxLA did manage to finally get NetRexx open sourced, giving me hope for the future of programming so I am not giving up on them. They just move a little slow at times!

In regards to the command line parser....

Why can't we just leave NetRexx as it is. Yeah, update it, as needed, to
mesh smoothly with java sdk's... but leave it as it is, small, tight and
original.

And all these recommended changes and additions, just be out into a
separate jar, perhaps can it NetRexxUtils.jar. And put any and all new
changes, tweaks, candy and other BS into it. Keep it out of the
original, reference version of NetRexx.

Makes good sense to me.

Hi David,
    *and all*

Solving KUBRICK's game is very easy:

You only have to

*Brake the CUBE*

(1,2,3,4,5,6, ... times)

*LOOK INSIDE*

(what he has constructed)

and then ...

... suddenly, you understand his construction, and the game, as well!

KP,
Thanks for the pointer to the composition of the ARB.  I never knew whether it was secret or I'd missed a posting and, since I haven't coughed up $24, hadn't the right to ask.  Whatever the nature of the appointment process, I can't fault the result!
George

For "ARB" you may look at

http://kenai.com/projects/netrexx/pages/NrxProjRoles

 

Don't know, who decides about membership, but just give them some time to open that process as well.

At least now NetRexx is open source allows you, as anyone else, to fork, if you don't like the current direction.

 

no harm intended

René --

You are no doubt correct technically but some of us knew from the start
that NetRexx had no future guaranteed until it was open source. There
has been little maintenance and no new development for a decade.
(Fortunately, NetRexx was quite robust from the start due to Mike's
ingenious work.) IBM still has no clue what a gem they almost killed.
That decade is how long I, personally, have been waiting! I did not mean
to imply that RexxLA was working on it for all that time.

Maybe we wanted this to happen for more than a decade, but as I remember it, the first serious talks between Mike and me about this were during the 2007 symposium, and it was formally announced at the 2008 Symposium - over Skype because I could not be there. Later that year I announced it outside of RexxLA to the JVM Languages Summit in Santa Clara. It took quite some time after that, but not anywhere near a decade - it was more like a bit more than 3 years.

It seems to me that no Rexx people want to do administrivia nor have the time. But even though it took a decade, RexxLA did manage to finally get NetRexx open sourced, giving me hope for the future of programming so I am not giving up on them. They just move a little slow at times!
