Ajax.NET Source Code moved to SediSys

Friday, August 5, 2005 5:00:00 AM

Since the day before yesterday SediSys (http://www.sedisys.com) is the new owner of the source code for the Ajax.NET library. SediSys will make the source code be available as an Open Source Project. Hopefully we can make the Ajax.NET library together a powerful AJAX related free library.

As you could read in my last blogs I am in contact with the Web Platform Team (Microsoft/Redmond). Jonathan Hawkins showed me some PowerPoint slides and first demos including the source code during our conference call on Tuesday. I was impressed of what they have build already and how easy it seems to be used. If you have someting you are missing in the Ajax.NET library, or you have a must built-in feature/idea for Atlas please give me feedback. I'm currently going through my inbox to collect all feedback I got in the last two months.

For those of you that are interested: I will be at the PDC 05 in Los Angeles, too!

    Hello Mr. Schwartz, are you on the MVP Summit this year (October)? Perhaps we can have a meeting togther. My company is searching for guys like you.

    Out of curiousity, why isn't this source just up on SF.NET? I run 3 projects up there and there's little in the world that could be easier. It literally took minutes. What's the deal?

    First of all - GREAT component!!! I was using AJAX already but this is far simpler.

    I am very interested in looking at the source but cannot find it anywhere on the sedisys.com site you mention - am I missing something??

    "its going up tonight.....er....its up....no its on this site....er....ya...haven't done it yet, but will be up probably tonight....err....source forge is in the process of reviewing it, or something like that..."

    No one disputes how cool this component is, and I will be the first one to say a big thanks, but there's something wrong with taking advantage of the "open source" status without ever becoming open source.

    now its one a site in a language I can't, nor most of the nation can't read. What happened to sourceforge?

    no one owes me anything, and I may have missed something, but this is coming across to me like a insult to our intelegence. If you have changed your mind about giving away the code, just say so. Don't try to convince technically inclinded people that it takes longer to upload a less than 1 meg zip file to something somewhere.

    Hello Schwartz,

    Congratulations for the Ajax.Net, it are Excellent!
    I looked for source code in the SediSys, however I did not find, you has some forecast of when it will be available?

    I haven't been to this site in a couple weeks, and I am disappointed to still see the same games being played with regards to the source being made available. Amazing. Oh well, few more weeks and out of PDC will be the initial Atlas bits - perhaps at that point Michael's implementation will be largely forgotten and this project's open status will not matter as much. I concur with Darren, to paraphrase: while I am not owed anything by Sedisys or Michael, it is insulting to be told for weeks and weeks that something will be made open, only to get what seems to be perpetual run-around.
