Pentaho changes
I’m back at my favorite spot at the Orlando airport:
This week has gone bye so fast it’s kinda scary. I got dragged into one meeting after another design session after another knowledge transfer opportunity for 5 days in a row. After our long working days, the discussions and talks just continued over dinner and beers.
It was great to meet everyone and as always we had a good time around the office and at the Ale House. I even managed to stay sober this time around. Well at least most of the time.
As always, the thing that struck me the most was how fast Pentaho changes. It’s almost like visiting a different company every time I drop in. Since I don’t see the day-to-day changes around the office, the difference between the first time I visited (15 people) and now (70+) is striking. The office space occupied more than doubled for example.
Well, let me tell you, it’s an honour to be able to witness this great growth process in person. I’m looking forward to things to come!
Until next time,
Matt

What do you thing about a possible new market of lower cost front-ends for Pentaho? This is an analogue trend as we saw for mysql, postgresql or oracle, like microolap, navicat etc. For example ramsetcube is an alternative to design cubes and there are also other open source projects around the Pentaho world, like freeanalisys and Jrubick. Leave the Pentaho suite spaces for innovative ideas ? Thank you Jack Costello
Jack, inviting other people to write against your stack is a consequence of being open and it’s certainly in the spirit of open source. The more the merrier as far as I’m concerned.
