Is Alfresco a real Open Source?

[edless]

Certified Alfresco Partners only offer Level 1 Support, Consulting, Integration or Training on either the Alfresco Enterprise.

Open source was born to give people the possibility to share knowledge and expertise.

Why Alfresco is giving just to big company the possibility to be supported  on the product? Why I can't pay a Alfresco Partner just to support me on a community version, without asking any guaranty?

ok.  I guess I'll take this as another opportunity to set up a complete build.  I was not able before to get it setup correctly.  I'll give it another try.

AFAIK: To do a complete build from continuous.xml (including unit tests and release packaging) you'll need binaries that are not distributed through the community repository. I could reconstruct some of the binaries (get them elsewhere). That way I got the continuous.xml to run partly. But only without tests. I tried on Linux and on Windows. But I didn't get all the tests through without failure.

The "normal" source build from build.xml without tests works without trouble for me. If you like we can open up a technical discussion in another thread to get the build running together. I'd be interested as well.

Here's a good resource for all things Open Source.

http://www.opensource.org/

There is a list of opensource licenses, which have been reviewed and approved by the OpenSource Initiative.  The URL is http://www.opensource.org/licenses.

I would encourage Alfresco to have their opensource license(s) reviewed and approved by the OSI.

Cheers!
