Enterprise: Anyone else missing DCB?
Looks like not many people are missing
DCB from SUN. It used to be one of my favorites, which has pretty good Enterprise level articles. It used to carry pretty good information about J2EE production deployments.
From SUN's EOL FAQ:
Sun has moved the most popular Dot-Com Builder articles to other Sun developer sites. We invite you to visit these sites for articles on Web services, Web security, and various other how-to articles for Web architects:
http://developer.sun.com/sunone/ -- Sun ONE for Developers
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/ -- BigAdmin System Administration Portal
http://java.sun.com -- Java Technology
http://wireless.java.sun.com -- Wireless Technology
Also, there is an archive of forum discussion threads at dcbforum.sun.com.
But I couldn't find some of the Deployment Articles published under DCB anywhere mentioned above. There is a great need for Portal with contents similar to what DCB used to be. It used to be pretty good resource for J2EE Architects. Hope SUN will get it back.
Some of the best articles from DCB are at
BigAdmin.

General: Dell's directives
Here are Michael Dell's Directives for successful business as mentioned
here:
1. Spend money to succeed, not to impress.
2. Anything that can be measured can be improved.
3. Curiosity is a rare commodity — develop it.
4. Ambitious people focus on career. Successful people focus on results.
A must read for every Techie with an ambition:
HOW CAN A GUY CLIMB THE LADDER MORE EFFICIENTLY?People obsessed with their careers don't do as well as those who are obsessed with results. If you have one person always asking, "When's the next promotion?" and another person asking, "How can I help?" it's pretty obvious which one is making a bigger contribution.
WHAT WOULD YOU DELETE?The way people focus on the boss, as opposed to focusing on results. You don't totally ignore the boss, but the person in charge has a lot more to worry about than just you, and you have to worry about a lot more than just the boss. You've got to worry about your peers, the organization, your customers. If you're a good teammate, a good leader, if you're helpful and provide great value to your customers, that's going to be far more valuable to the organization than just focusing on the boss.

JBOSS: JBossGroup thinks JBOSS Users are PIGS?
Here is the mail send by Bill Burke to jboss-development Mailing list asking members of list to cheat on JDJ awards:
From: Bill Burke
vote for jboss on JDJ
2003-04-09 06:44
Hey everybody, sorry for the junk mail. Just wondering if you could cast your vote for JBoss as Best Appserver at JDJ. Suspiciously, JDJ left us off the ballot until a bunch of people complained so we missed at least a week of voting! Please take some time to vote for us and tell your friends and colleagues. In fact, vote as many times as you have an email address!
here's the link:

Thanks all, and sorry to bother you.
Regards,

Cast your vote for JBoss as JDJ Best App Server

So essentially JBOSS group wants you to cheat right? Thats not it.
Here is a mail sent by Marc Fleury to the same jboss-development a year ago when he thought Oracle told to its employees to cast vote for their own appserver last year:
From: marc fleury
RE: JDJ Best App-Server
2002-05-20 14:08
everyone
1- go and vote
2- go and bitch (about the categories)
let's make some noise, I can ***NOT** believe that Oracle would have 1600 votes, (!) just an email in the company saying "go vote or I fire your ass" and all 1600 employees of the java division went there 2 weeks ago (all at once) sweating bullets and transpiring like pigs. This industry makes me laugh, they are the piggies in the straw houses and supposedly we look like wolves from the outside,

If employees of Oracle are compared to PIGS, wouldn't the same apply to JBOSS jboss-development Mailing list members?
