Davor:

Scott is right, the implementation of Jazz is considered proprietary at this point. Having said that, Jazz is also difficult to open source because it prejudges the collaboration infrastructure that will be available. That is what makes Scott's proposal so interesting to us. If we can virtualize the collaboration infrastructure, then it becomes more feasible to make applications like Jazz available.

In case you do not know, I manage the Collaborative Application Development Research Group within IBM Research. The Jazz project is ours. The Eclipse workshop at CSCW is being organized by a member of our team. I will not be involved in that workshop because I am involved in another one. I will be at CSCW, however, and would be happy to get together some evening.

Hi Davor,

I will be attending the Eclipse workshop at CSCW.

I'm aware of and familiar with Jazz via the published papers. Seems like good work, and it will definitely inform this project. I believe the implementation work is considered proprietary at this point, however. John (or others) please correct me if I'm wrong.

Are any of you guys planning to attend the Eclipse workshop at CSCW
conference in November? (http://cscw2004ws.blogsite.org/) I believe
the organizer is one of the members of IBM's Jazz team. Will there be
any connections to that project? It seems like there is a fair bit of
functionality that they've implemented that could be applicable here.
Or is Jazz strictly internal to IBM? (Well, maybe it's not internal,
they have published papers about it, but it's definitely proprietary
right now.)
