RE: How Open Source is Spring?

Peter Mularien has a very well written post titled How Open Source is Spring?: An Analytical Investigation:

This post is to expand on some of the thoughts I posted on the SpringSource Blog in response to Rod Johnson's excellent description of the SpringSource business model and its commitment to development of open source software.

Now that SpringSource has shown an ability to crank out new product releases on a seemingly weekly basis, I wanted to reflect on where Spring is positioned in the Java open source community, and how open the Spring Core project is to work done by the public.

The hypothesis of my experiment occurred to me when I happened to be reviewing Spring JIRA assignments one day. I was curious whether, following the bug assignments, the majority of development on the "Spring Core" projects (including Spring MVC and what we would consider "classic Spring") is performed solely by SpringSource employees.

Peter's post is near and dear to me because I'm doing a What's coming in Spring 3.0 talk at the Colorado Software Summit in October. The only information I was able to find on Spring 3.0 is from random blog posts and Juergen's presentation. When I give talks about technologies, I prefer to dig in and try them before talking about it. With Spring 3.0's source code nowhere to be found, this is very difficult to do.

I really hope Spring 3.0 becomes available in early October. If it does, I hope to upgrade AppFuse, AppFuse Light and Spring Kickstart. If it doesn't, my talk will most likely be a regurgitation of what Juergen's slides have and that's just not right.
