My Community Weather Report, week 2
With much reluctancy since a second edition most likely will be interpreted as the promise for a third, here's the week 2 weather report of all the nice open source projects or related communities I'm working in on lurking on (lots of lurking since always short on time):
Avalon
Some spring showers, unfortunately now shielded behind the umbrella of the PMC list. There are some ancient solar spots on the face of Avalon which don't fade away.
Cocoon
An unexpected tornado has left some citizens in search for their home. Luckily, the community at large is helping to tidy up the scene.
Community
No real weather this week, expect from some nice weather perspectives by Santiago and Andy.
Forrest
Apart from one very active high pressure zone, the mushy coulds of winter are still preventing the project to fully experience spring.
Jakarta
Sun is everywhere in Jakarta-land, whether some of us like it or not. I'm not allowed to say much about this since I'm under a Not to be Documented Agreement ;-)
Outerthought
The slow weather of the past few months is being replaced by a certain degree of buzyness. Still, business isn't falling from the sky like that manna thing from some time ago.
Ouverture
Some separated drops, but nobody getting wet. We could all use a fresh shower, however.
Xindice
Still very much a no-weather zone.
XML Belux
Also some separated drops, hopefully we'll be able to gather them into a decent bucket full of water.
???
Nice and shiny weather, some clouds have been seen on the horizon, but really only just enough to know we are lucky.
Doing this on a weekly basis will be hard to keep up with. Remind me of weather reports older than a couple of weeks, will ya?

Let the web help!

I mean, the weather report could be federated
from people participating in all lists. I, for
instance could take Jetspeed. I'm quite sure such
a proposal would be accepted by a lot of committers.

It could be the start of a web site/news magazine if
we also posted the more interesting threads.

A RSS feed could be a good format.

I'd like to report that the weather on POI has been clear and pleasent for months and months. With pleasant showers of mutual respect, and occasional trickles of profit-making opportunity for all. There is a potential wave of Blue on the horizon but it promises to be non-disruptive. Unfortunately, the population is still a tad low due to the level of technical expertise required to enter the big weather bubble ;-)
