As usual, a fan. an endless fan; because of “that”, simply your skill to say essentials simply and with all the audience to applause. I give you all my best thoughts, keeping in mind that without technologies, “that” could not have happened. Tech for life, but life with spirit, share and warmness. It seems you found the recipe, think about never lose it, giving the holy “graal” to your inheritage.

A definitive fan, Laurent

I happened upon your blog. You have given some good advice. Let’s go forward in 2009.

Exodus 14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward…

benoit, hazel, roopinder, damien, darragh, jay, thanks for stopping by. glad you liked the post.

@benoit as you know, I believe that everything I learnt about opensource I learnt via Jerry Garcia et al!

@hazel it may amuse you to know that I know anant very very well. he’s my brother, and I understood what he meant by pollyanna, it wasn’t a criticism.

@damien thanks for picking up on the comment, sometimes I’m not sure how many people read comments in detail. I think @darragh picked up on your comment

@jay given your last post, I’m reminded of one of my favourite Ogden Nash poems, Song of the Open Road …. I think that I shall never see/ A billboard lovely as a tree/Perhaps unless the billboards fall/ I’ll never see a tree at all

Pollyanna-ish? Not really. Realistic assessment from a believer who knows that there are worse things than a credit crunch. Mind you, having been told that my civil service pension is to be reduced because of a mistake made by the government is not good. Can I change it? No. Why worry?

JP, thank you for this blog and happy 2009!
I am listening to David Crosby’s magnificent “If I could only remember my name” and I was dreaming about collaboration in San Francisco in the sixties (as the Dead and Graham Nach and the Airplane participated to the recording), which triggered this quick comment.

He JP – as usual – a great blog & a superb, simple and succinct message. May the force be with you bro. and wishing you and yours a peaceful & prosperous 2009. Needless to say if you ever swing by Sing, it would be a pleasure to have a few cold ones after all these years. Keep shining.
