Mark your Meldware-based calendar off for March 21, I'm flying up to D.C.(DCLUG) to give a similar talk to the one Calendar whiz Aron Sogor gave to much accord at CSUEB. Aron Sogor This is the announcement for my DC LUG talk: The March 2007 meeting of Washington DC Linux user group will take place on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 at 7pm. Andrew Oliver from buni.org will talk about their Linux groupware software "Meldware Communication Suite".

So I heard Buni featured on this week's Flex Show. I appreciated the mention...but...they pronounced Buni like "Bungee"? So Buni comes from Swahili. It means "to put together" and is also a type of coffee bean. We have one customer who pronounces it "bunny"...the cute little furry things.

Do you use mail filters in your client to route mail between folders? This way you can differentiate between mails sent to a mail list and mails that require your immediate attention or things you are only "sorta" interested in and things you are very interested in. In Thunderbird you do this by going to Tools->Mail Filters. As useful as those are, they kind of suck with IMAP as it has to get at least the headers and then move the mail between folders.

For the last few months we have been feverishly adding features and tuning Meldware to better perform keeping our nose to the grinding stone. Our 1.0 is getting closer, our project is getting better, but to know how good is good, we need to look up and smell the roses. As part of the rose smelling it is time to get more user feedback and get out there to spread the word. To do that there is no better way than get together face to face and talk about what we got and what you looking for.

So we're VERY excited about Buni Meldware Communication Suite joining Java.net in particular the Communications Community. You can find our Java.net home here. We're not abandoning our home, just growing so fast that we need more infrastructure and want the benefit from the larger Java.net ecosystem in particular the synergies we have with other communication projects. Meldware couldn't exist without open standards, compatibility and open source, Java.net is dedicated to all three.

A little while ago I though I ANTLR sussed. What a fool I was. After exclaiming my skills at understanding syncatic predicates, I found a bug where my definition of an atom didn't support an number of non-alphanumeric characters. Using the solution that I had implemented by hacking up the pre-existing ANTLR grammar it was basically unfixable, mainly due to the excessively ambiguous nature of the IMAP grammar.
