Roller Overview Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Apache Roller is the open source Java blog server that drives Sun Microsystem's blogs.sun.com employee blogging site, the US Government's blog.usa.gov, the blogs in IBM's Lotus Connections product, the IBM Developer Works blogs, the Javalobby's 10,000 user strong JRoller Java community site and hundreds of other blogs world-wide. If you want to set up a blog server for yourself or for several thousand of your closest friends, try Roller! http://rollerweblogger.org/project/ Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Feature overview * Wordpress Mu and Wordpress/Lyceum forks provide multi-blog ** LDAP plugin exists but is experimental and unsupported Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Deployment architecture #1 Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Why choose Roller?

I joined Sun 2004 Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Roller joined Apache Proposal for Roller@Apache Dave Johnson - Feb 28, 2005 We the committers and friends of the open source Roller Weblogger project propose that the project become part of the Apache Software Foundation. The rest of this document explains the rationale behind this proposal, how Roller meets the Apache project scope, initial source, resources required, and initial committer criteria. 0 Rationale Roller is an open source blog server written in Java and originally developed in 2002 for an O'Reilly article titled Building an Open Source J2EE Weblogger. Now Roller is used on multi-user blog servers at the Javalobby's JRoller.com (> 7000 blogs), Sun's blogs.sun.com (>1000 blogs), and numerous other sites. Roller is an open source product, available under an Apache-based license, with 5 committers. Recently Sun hired the original author of Roller to develop Roller and other blog technologies. Sun and the Roller developers want to ensure Roller's continued success as a viable, growing, open source product. We think that perhaps the best way to do this is to become an Apache project. 2005 Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Good times... John Hoffman, Dave Johnson, Simon Phipps, Will Snow and Tim Bray in the back accept a Sun Microsystems 2005 Chairman’s Award for blogs.sun.com and Humanizing the Corporation. Award winners Danese Cooper and Pat Chanezon not present. Tuesday, November 24, 2009

If you get along well with others, do quality work and show some commitment to the project somebody will most likely nominate you to be a committer.” From http://cwiki.apache.org/conﬂuence/display/ROLLER/How+to+contribute+to+Roller Tuesday, November 24, 2009
