An airhacks.fm conversation with Amelia Eiras-Blevins (@ameliaeiras) about:

physics and math studies, in Ecuador you have to choose your major earlier, changing from computer science to finance, without learning, everything becomes boring, the math never lies and is therefore simple,

the formulas and understanding the "why", it is not about the frameworks, it is about the principles, choosing calculus for fun, the dry C and C++ without microprofile, the NAG Numerical Library for Fortran,

The Gödel, Escher, Bach Book: An Eternal Golden Braid the untold secrets about David Blevins, Apache TomEE,

it is not about titles, it is about responsibilities, growth can be healthy,

the relation between TomEE and Tomitribe is similar to the relation of Glassfish and Payara,

Tomitribe provides support for TomEE, Tomcat and ActiveMQ, Tomtribe partners with Sonatype to provide patches faster,

OpenSource is not a business model, Apache Las Vegas conference happens before CodeONE, opensource projects should not just survive with the sponsor's help,

TomEE comprises nine top level Apache projects, commercial support saves time and money, Sun created JCP,

Sun welcomed everyone else, 410 Java Specification Requests (JSR) were submitted and about 130 rejected, 59 IP owners are asked to transfer their knowledge from JCP to Eclipse,

JCP was a great success, JCP came with documentation out-of-the box, Jakarta EE Working Groups are the successor of JCP,

large companies are not evil, but they are not always reasonable, MicroProfile was founded 3 years ago, JSR 382: Configuration API 1.0 was filed under the Eclipse Foundation Inc. name,

MicroProfile highly welcomes contributions, if you have ideas - implement it, MicroProfile comes with flat organizational structure, it is easier to start a MicroProfile project,

than an Apache project, the Tomitribe projects, the Tribestream API gateway,

Tribestream was launched at CodeONE, TomEE does good and Tomitribe even better, make your first commit and you get a nice banner,
