progI had a nice chat yesterday with Andy Oram, a longtime editor at O'Reilly, about Volity. It resulted in him writing this entry in his own blog: http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/05/volity_opensource_interactive.html
I am pleased that our websites are in such a state that even hardened veterans of the open source scene like Andy take one look at it and immediately get intensely interested.
Not to say that I didn't have to make the effort to point it out to him. I got the idea to write him the night before last, when I remembered having a chat about games and gaming culture at a party two Decembers ago. This reinforces the fact that I really gotta keep pushing to get the message out there... the influx of developers I wrote about a couple of weeks ago hit a plateau shortly after that.
Things are better then they were a year ago, when I was. Then Zarf got involved, and much more recently than that we've had a low but constant level of outside developer interest. It's the last that I really need to ratchet up, and now.
