Just like any OpenSource project, Cayenne's well-being depends a lot on
its user community. Simply spreading the word about Cayenne will help
us *a lot*. So I wanted to ask a favor from the people on this list.
I am planning to create a page with Cayenne success stories. I know
there are a lot of new users who maybe just started a Cayenne project,
or doing an evaluation for the future use. But there are also users who
successfully deployed their applications using Cayenne as a data layer.
If this is the case, I would really appreciate you sending some
information to this list or to my address directly. The information may
include:
- the link to your website. We need a URL for some credibility of the
success story. If this is the site running Cayenne application - this
is perfect; if your application is intranet/offline, still a link to
the main public site would be nice. Among other things you'll get extra
exposure on objectstyle.org.
- the name of your organization/company/project
- Short description of the project and its O/R needs.
Other possible ways to spread the word:
- Use one of the "Powered By Cayenne" logos located at
http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/poweredby.html
- Writing articles in online and paper Java and database editions
- On Java/J2EE discussion forums people often discuss O/R choices.
Don't be shy, mention Cayenne as a great O/R alternative (in fact the
only OpenSource one that has real mapping tools).
OpenSource software needs marketing just like anything else :-)
I appreciate everybody's help.
