Dabblings in open source software projects

Sorry to bore you with yet another post designed to remind myself about what I should be mentioning in job interviews.

This post is a breakdown of some of the various participation that I have had in open source projects in the last few years.

• Grails - postings on public newsgroup with gotchas of an upgrade to version 1.1.1 with maven versioning



• Tomcat - following and posting responses to Tomcat users newsgroup; attending presentations by Mark Thomas



• Linux-HA - participation in newsgroup during set up of cluster for Airways project.



• Spring - postings on forums; downloaded source for 3.0 to check use of LinkedHashMap as default type for Map in bean properties.



• Hibernate - postings on forums.



• JBoss 4.2 - checked out source code from subversion repository to apply patch for ajp issue.
