There is a funny thing about commercial open source software companies as much as they like talking about their community-driven open source heritage they end up doing a lot of things their proprietary counterparts do. Spout off about being enterprise-ready, boast, offer TCO studies, and all manner of other things that make them look like a typical proprietary software company. A lot of them neglect the transparent open source traits that makes them truly disruptive and interesting (see yesterday's post on SourceFire).
despite being perceived as an egotistical self righteous bastard by a lot of people, Fleury really is a genius and absolutely puts users first.
I called their sales guy once (in 2003) because I had some questions on J2EE object theory and serialization. Marc happened to be walking by the guys office while he was talking to me and jumped into the convo on speaker phone, listened to what I wanted to do, told me my ideas were very sound, what the gotchas are, and we shot the breeze for half an hour.
Any PhD CEO that makes time to do that for people is alright in my book...
