holidays?

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

It’s done our university commitments are finished for this term.

Yes ok, phil and myself will have to do paperwork for our bachelor papers. And then of course there is still work, werwurm is starting his summerjob on monday. The rest of us will probably just spend more time on our sparetime jobs.

Anyways … wish you all a great summer, hope we don’t loose touch during the summer breaks.

Hmmm … suddenly the goal for a free/open java seems to be further away then ever …

Simon Phipps clarified in his blog that by “months rather than years” [away from open java] he was in fact referring to “double-digit months” which somewhat reminds me of the endless odyssey of the king of vaporwareDuke Nukem Forever.

Sure, his worries to create a source- and bytecode-compatible java base should be the top priority to ensure general success … and I don’t want to be the one responsible for making such a decision … but imagine how many years would fit into 99 months ..

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the quest for a free/open java won’t end never-end like other ambitious projects.
