Trying to find something that would help me explain the team at OpenGoo what we should strive for, in order to deliver a top-notch product for version 1.0, I came across:

Dude, now I know why it is so hard to make good software.
When I studied Engineering at the University, gold plating - the practice of getting more and more details into your software -, was regarded as a bad software engineering practice. I argue that has now been reverted completely.
Today, most software packages are becoming commodities. All text editors edit text. All ERP systems do ERP. The […]
So, what do you think will be the platform for Web 3.0? (Yes, I know, I’m such an original guy…)
Ok, but the question is still relevant. Do you think it will be:
Adobe Flex
Microsoft Silverlight
OpenLaszlo
Sun JavaFX
Plain AJAX
Something Else
Who cares
The 3.0 Platform
Adobe Flex
Microsoft Silverlight
OpenLaszlo
Sun JavaFX
Plain AJAX
Something else

Stay with 2.0 (just for the lulz)
ExtJs 3.0 (Direct)

The first OpenGoo release, alpha 0.1, is available!
What is OpenGoo
OpenGoo intends to build an Open Source (OS) Web Office, mashing-up existing OS projects. The final goal is to make available a product like Google Apps (the current leader in the Web Office segment), but releasing all of the code, so anyone can install it on […]
This past weeks I did more Engineering work and less blogging. Blogging helped me realize that (among other things) I am more of an engineering geek, and not a reporter. So I will not stop it; but simply won’t force myself to do it everyday.
Some of the things I discovered this past weeks are:
I am […]
JavaFX was presented yesterday at the JavaOne Conference.
Sun joins the Rich Internet Applications (RIA) framework race, becoming quickly crowded already with Adobe’s Apollo, Microsoft’s Silverlight, and a set of smaller players.
JavaFX and the other RIA players are trying to step upon recent AJAX applications success.
What makes JavaFX special
Sun’s JavaFX came with much lesser press than […]
I am still trying to figure it out: Is Silverlight another big waste of money from Microsoft, or the next big bump on the road for Linux on the desktop?
Silverlight is Microsoft’s new cross-browser, ‘cross-platform’ plug-in for delivering multimedia and rich interactive applications (RIA) on the Web.
Doubtless, Silverlight will have advantages over its competitors (Adobe’s […]
I was reminded by the WordPress blog that Google Summer of code is now accepting students applications.
All students out there wanting to both:
work on an open source project and
earn 4.500 US$ in three months
hurry up and send your applications!
Deadline is March 24, 2007.
Too bad that I didn’t have time to send my OpenGoo project as […]
If you are a student that would like to program on a Google sponsored project and earn 4500 US$ during the summer, (or winter if you live in the South Hemisphere, like me), get writing your application form, now!
If you have an open source project idea that your Organization would like to develop, you can […]
This is good news for Java Developer Shops. From the JBoss “Exadel Partnership FAQ” page:

For the first time, developers will have access to a high caliber Eclipse-based development environment that is available entirely in open source. Red Hat Developer Studio provides an advanced, enterprise-level Web application development environment for leveraging […]
