People asked for a better structured community, we heard you!
After some discussion with members of the community and with Apple,
we are happy to announce the formation of a WebObjects Community
Steering Committee.
Elections will be held each year around WWDC/WOWODC timeframe. For
our first year, members of the committee are volunteers.
The current members of the committee are :
- Janine Sisk
- Alex Cone
- Chuck Hill
- David LeBer
- Pascal Robert
The mission of this committee :
- Present an organizational structure and single point of contact
with Apple to influence and support the continued development of WO.
- Support, motivate, and enable WOCommunity activities - give the
folks who have been working their buns off on our behalf support
wherever we can, but generally stay out of their way.
- Market WO and member services in ways that Apple is not willing and/
or capable of doing.
Our tasks :
- Create a new general survey each year
- Help with organizing WOWODC
- Give our support to other groups (Web site, WOWODC, etc.)
- Create podcasts/live demos of apps (similar to the webcasts from
MacEnterprise.org)
- Market WO Community events, successes, and newsworthy items (i.e.
announcements and press releases to Mac and Java lists and sites)
- Build a searchable registry of consulting services available in the
WO world, including "job offered" and "job wanted" posts for people
seeking full-time employment
- Create and maintain a new web site to evangelize WebObjects and
showcase the tools, the vibrant community, and the platform's successes.
Please note: Our primary goal is one of support. We are not trying to
supplant any existing efforts, if you'd like our support, please ask.
We will more than happy to help you in any way we can.
