[seam-dev] Fwd: Multiverse (STM) project interesting for JBoss/Redhat?

Interesting, I suppose.... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Veentjer <alarmnummer(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 1:31 PM Subject: Multiverse (STM) project interesting for JBoss/Redhat? To: gavin.king(a)gmail.com Hi Gavin, you probably don't know me, but the last 8 months I have been working on a Software Transactional Memory implementation, because I think STM's are going to be a very important tool in the toolbox in the coming years. Old school concurrency is way to complex for designing complex systems and working with transaction just feels a lot more natural for most developers. The project I'm working on is called Multiverse: http://multiverse.googlecode.com And the goal is to create an STM with Hibernate/JPA like semantics (most developers understand this model.. so it makes acceptance a lot easier). If you check the backlog, you can see what the planned features are: http://code.google.com/p/multiverse/issues/list?can=2&q=label%3Abackl... The big problem is that I have to do all development in my spare time (every morning, evening, weekend) and I'm probably going to take 2 months off (out of my own pocket) to work full time on it if my employer agrees. But I don't think this approach has a sustainable future, so I'm looking for: - an environment where I can continue to develop on this project - an inspiring community of other smart developers working on cool stuff (I have met Manik from JBoss Cache/Infinispan and that is a good example of a smart and inspired guy). So do you think JBoss/Redhat is interested in this project and if there is an opportunity for me to work full time on this project? ps: My blog can be found here: pveentjer.wordpress.com -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org
