The title may not make any sense, on the surface, but when you consider software to be sausages, with all kinds of stuff inside, do you really want to know what goes into it? This is a core philosophical question that troubles the DVCS communities (git in particular). My latest article in Connection talks about that.
What does Git mean for NonStop? It is a fundamental game changer, that allows NonStop servers to participate in the global ecosystem of software development. No longer in isolation, NonStop now is an active participant in the world of Open software development.This is the first is a series of four articles I wrote for Connection Magazine on the topic.
At Nexbridge, we have a strict anti-spam policy. It is very simple:
We will never spam you. Our email messages are clear and from a real person or exactly once by our web server in response to a direct inquiry. You can request removal from our contact lists at anytime and we will honour it as fast as we are able.
Never spam us. If you spam us, we will not do business with you. It is as simple as that. Marketing information is ok, as long as it is ethical and we are able to remove our addresses from your lists immediately. Please don’t claim that it will take 7 days to process our request. We will not believe you.
To quote William Shakespeare from The Merchant of Venice:
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”. – (Act III, scene I).”
We will report all spam as widely as possible. We will report hack attempts to your ISP and to the authorities.
I don’t normally cross-post, but this article is really a good bit of wisdom from my colleagues at the World Conference for Disaster Management, where I spoke a few years ago. The article is definitely worth the read, so I am recommending it.
This applies to large companies, governments, emergency managers, as well as a number of our clients who need the responsiveness and resiliency of being Indestructible. Please, if you read nothing else this week, read this article.
