it was very encouraging to have both Bytemaster and Stan respond to this post. As a community member, I felt incumbent to push us and those around us to achieve more than we at first thought we could. Its a duty and a privilege. That was my goal of this post.
Though, I feel that I need to share my opinion. We should always be skeptical in what we see, hear and do. We always have to be weary of the possibility that CMX and the other teams raise big expectations, and when they can't fully deliver, they compromise, giving the community less than what they get as a payoff from jumping ship. If you don't mentally or financially prepare for this, I tihnk your opening yourself to big vulnerabilities. And big losses.
CMX will be working for another company, another bank, another Fortune 500. The fact that they are a consulting group is very concerning. Consulting don't have as much skin in the game because they have various income streams. The Dev team are free to disagree. But these are the facts. They are diversified from the risks, unlike the community. When it comes down to bottom line budgets and numbers, they can only give their attention to the community, only what is worth their time. They will have to prove (and I certainly believe they will) that its overwise true. That you can have a world-class software consulting group, profitability operating within a self-organizing system.
These are just my thoughts and I mean no hard or fault. I'm just seeing things for what they are right now.
