Hmm, I just don't dare to read between the lines .... does it mean Jeff's looking for job outside the RT? http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:aLY0PxQWqCA:www.free-for-recruiters.com /Resumes/CA/691150-Resume.html+Rebol/Express&hl=cs -pekr-

Article about Rebol: http://www.sdtimes.com/news/031/story7.htm Rebol going to P2P conference?: http://www.openp2p.com/pub/d/796 Another article: http://www.hoise.com/primeur/01/articles/weekly/AE-PR-05-01-66.html You probably read this one already: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/September2000/article169.shtml Community Borland: http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,26215,00.html IBM's tutorial to rebol? :-) http://www2.software.ibm.com/developer/education.nsf/linux-onlinecourse-byti tle/10E39489AAEB0CB78625698B00705F79 ... probably even more could be find somewhere :-) -pekr-

I don't think so. But even if he is, is that stuff to post on this mailing list? The resume is a cached one, it doesn't exist anymore. AFAIK it is pretty normal for people to wonder if it is time to do something else after a three years or so. --Maarten

There's one that I have written. The topic is broader than just rebol, but I plug rebol.. http://www.frozen-north-linuxonline.com/ I make references to what I think are unexploited needs for programming. Rebol and otherwise. tj

After sending my email I thought about similar reply. Well, if it can be found on web, it is publicable imo. I think that main difference in my and yours pov is lays mainly in political history of our countries ... In our country, ppl don't change jobs so often. Maybe younger generation of ppl does so, but still many ppl here don't change their jobs more then two or so times during their productive life. It is artefact of communism imo, as there was no motivation for ppl to go and try something else. In the area I live, many many ppl regard loosing job as personal tragedy .... Of course Jeff or anyone else here has absolute right to do whatever he/she wants. I just would miss him. The problem is, I come from Amiga land, and I know what the community means. I regard RT being part of community family. Do you remember what happened once Fleecy was sacked by Gateway Amiga Inc.? You could probably note, that many ppl following Rebol followed Carl in the first place, when he left VisCorp. Rebol is personal. Rebol is person. That's why some of us are nervous from time to time - we want Rebol to be real success. I hope Jeff or anyone else doesn't feel offended by my email ... Cheers, -pekr-

Yikes!! Not a good thought for me to entertain. I've invested a huge amount of time learning rebol and implementing it. Soon we will use rebol and perl together to help people save other people's lives.... And I'm teaching an online class with 9 students. All excited about learning rebol. On the other hand, back in my Window$ programming days, I used XTree for years after Symantec abandoned it....
> Feeling bad, > Gabriele.
Don't feel bad! Having said that, I think that Ladislav is correct in his assessment. Even if someone leaves RT, turnover is a reality in USA, I know that at least one other RT member has moved on, and I know that Carl attracts much talent. JMTCW

Re: What can be found on web soothsaying


Relax people, it definateately does not mean REBOL will disappear. Even if REBOL did go bankrupt, somebody would buy the software assets. If REBOL went up sale today, I would be raising money to buy it tomarrow. I am sure I am not alone either. Purely worst case scenerio, Microsoft buys it and puts it in there secret technologies bunker, never to be seen again. If that happened, within days there would be a major project going on to write an open source REBOL. Heck, if that was the case Carl would probably head the project. REBOL is his baby, he is not going to give up on it that easy. This really is just a shift from development staff (Bo and Kris) to marketing oriented staff (Scot and Tom). The only reasonable conclusion we can draw from this is that RT operates on a limited budget and they are preparing to generate revenues from existing or soon to be released products. Sounds allot like good news to me. --Ryan Tim Johnson wrote:

.. or perhaps a brilliant trojan horse strategy to promote Rebol ;-) Makes sense in a way - put one of your top programmer hired to do major development inside another business whose needs could best be met by using Rebol. In effect they pay for further development and testing hands-on of major commercial application. A while later, a hot new item gets added to the Rebol news page. It is also a simple low-tech way to test the response-waters if anyone is interested in Rebol etc. This is similar to what Digital Creations have been ding with Zope development and commmercial consulting. They gave Zope away - opensource + free. That generated publicity good will and seeded a crcuial developement community. Menwhile they landed web development contractss, typcailly for TV adn radio sites which paid them to grow Zpe in an evnvironment of direct user-needs. Thte openSruocing of Zope was a condition/idea of their vernture capitalist. Most Zoesites are non profits. Digital Crations very recently changed their name to Zope Corp to calrify their business position. compare http://www.zope.org http://www.zope.com/ the VC announcement from 1998 http://lwn.net/1998/1203/digicool.phtml the merry clones [Zope development done by stealth team at Digital Creations] http://cbsnewyork.com/ http://1010wins.com/ http://www.krockradio.com http://www.wcbs880.com http://www.wcbsfm.com http://www.wfan.com Last time I check, none of these credited Zope. Excpet for cbsnweyork, none of these even anounced or publicized on teh Zope mailing list, even as many developers were looking for commercial sites as arguments to convince their bosses whty they shoudl use a technology they had never heard of and which had no books about it. [sound familiar] Anyway, the more I explore Rebel the cooler I think it is, and the brighter its future. But then I am old Amiga user so what do I know :-)? - Jason

Re: What can be found on web .../WHAT!!


I can imagine a large interest in online classes...I'm just starting with REBOL, and having a wonderful time trying to find documentation. I love the product though, most fun I've had since I had to learn perl under fire. --On Tuesday, September 25, 2001 8:41 AM -0800 Tim Johnson <[tim--johnsons-web--com]> wrote:

Rebol is the best thing I've seen happen in programming in a long time. IMHO Any criticisms that I have felt or expressed of rebol or RT (speaking for myself here), I believe come from the fact that RT has really done it the hard way. They seem to have gotten their start as a "startup company", probably with venture capital. This is very different from the way that (as far as I know) perl and python developed. (I believe they developed primarily from the educational environment) RT's approach has been very admirable, very daring, and having been part of a "startup" (that failed BTW), I can identify with it, and besides the implementation itself, that's why I remain "loyal". -- Tim Johnson <[tim--johnsons-web--com]> http://www.johnsons-web.com

I have invested a lot of time too... but I won't regret it, I love REBOL.

Ok. :)

Yes, but the problem is that the crew should increase, not decrease. I'm waiting for an answer from Cindy since last week. I need to know the licensing options I have for a project I want to start. Others are in such a situation too, or even worse. Even people who have helped REBOL and RT a lot. When there was Bo at RT, we at least go answers. Now the only sign of life from RT are the emails from Holger to the list... I have great faith in Carl and the guys at RT but if they are starting to upset some of the early adopters... I wonder what happens to new costumers... Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[giesse--writeme--com]> - Amigan - REBOL programmer Amiga Group Italia sez.

Thanks for the acknowledgement! I'm glad I made a noticeable impact!

This early adopter is not at all upset. I have had occasion to visit RT on a business and personal capacity and even enjoyed lunch with Carl and the RT folks. I would like to think I am still a great asset to REBOL in the form of a custom solutions consultant using REBOL as the main tool in my toolbox. As such, I feel I have made a great impact in the local marketplace to the benefit of REBOL. 95% of the work I do is done using REBOL products. We can all do our part to be incessant evangelists of REBOL in our workplace and with our professional contacts. A good percentage of the people I work for are 100% sold on REBOL as a business solution, mostly through a demonstrated ability to supply a great solution in a brief development period and therefore at a very reasonable cost. Speaking of which, I am looking to diversify my clientele and pick up some additional projects. If anyone has needs for an experienced REBOL consultant, please contact me!

Indeed, this is what I have been doing. I have now convinced them that REBOL is the way to go, and pushed to start a REBOL project. They asked info about licensing (of course!), so I mailed to Cindy... then tried on Express... but I'm still waiting. What should I say to my "boss"?

Are you waiting for licensing options from Cindy? Make sure you ask again if you are still waiting. I can imagine with how busy RT is that sometimes some requests could get overlooked.

Most of the licensing of REBOL I've been involved with is simply purchasing the general licenses for business use. Anything more involved depends on the individual project and company as far as I understand. Bohdan "Bo" Lechnowsky Custom Solution Consultant using REBOL
