As did Zack. I pointed to all three blogs; not just yours. Plus that's the beauty of blogging; I can blog about what I want when I want .. not just when you feel like raising an issue that interests you.<BR/><BR/>Saying that the Sri Lankan government uses Mule is as accurate as saying the US government uses one ESB. Did you really think that the government here is so networked as to come down to a single ESB? I <B>wish</B> it was, but its not. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, whichever part of the government it is, I'm <B>GLAD</B> they're using Mule instead of some proprietary one and spending gobs of my taxpayer Rupees! I hope you guys gave them a good discount on the support fees .. Sri Lanka is a very poor country after all :-).<BR/><BR/>Nowhere in my blog did I say that we will be going after the crumbs either. In fact if you read the last bit of it, I actually agreed with you that fighting for crumbs is not the right strategy. <BR/><BR/>Trust me, we are not aiming low :-).<BR/><BR/>Sanjiva.Sanjiva Weerawaranahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10278760563625840210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439652399294426401.post-7359895219893116682007-10-31T09:47:00.000+05:302007-10-31T09:47:00.000+05:30Sanjiva, <BR/><BR/>First off, don't flatter yourself. My original post (months ago--nice job staying relevant) was actually geared toward some other startups who were asking for advice. Your "benchmarks" are irrelevant and have had (as one would expect) zero impact on Mule adoption or customer traction. Good try though.Maybe you want to publicly discuss some of your customer wins? Perhaps a discussion about what ESB product the Sri Lankan government is using? (hint: it's Mule)<BR/><BR/>You are fundamentally correct that companies have to compete somewhere. My argument is that there is no point going after crumbs when there are large pieces of pie available. This is Marketing 101. I am completely clear what my job is and what my investors expect of me. Are your investors happy with your strategy to aim low? Perhaps you can explain what will happen when you guys can't make enough money to survive and all the components become Apache after-thoughts? I will take my 50+ customers in less than one year and 2000+ Mule deployments as a sign that we might be doing something right.<BR/><BR/>No one is suggesting that competition is bad. In fact it's what drives all of us. We just aim higher. Good luck in the open source ghetto :><BR/><BR/>-davedavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186258147571768502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439652399294426401.post-85199220378869220502007-10-29T13:10:00.000+05:302007-10-29T13:10:00.000+05:30Great Move to Blogger sanjiva.. ..!
