A few weeks back we've been sending around this poll via our newsletter subscriber base. We got a lot of answers so I will not go into every single one of them (and we can't send individual replies, BTW, because the survey was anonymous). However, here is a distillation of the results, and our comments / questions to each.

As usual, we will be closed a few weeks during the Summer holidays 2014. This means that we will only offer production support (no other services) during the following weeks:

• July 7-14 (inclusive)
• August 18-29 (inclusive)

Thanks for your understanding!

We want to ask for your help and/or feedback on the following matter…

We're a small company with no VC money to burn so we need a sustainable customer base and dito commercial offerings.

During the last year or so, we've been trying to transform towards a mainstream customer base (as opposed to fewer, bigger but select customers). For this, we needed a more modest and flexible pricing scheme as well as some more individualised service offerings. The numerous prospects we've talked to have driven us towards the following formula.

So here is the question: what feedback are you willing to share with us? Is there anything important we've missed that could convince your company to purchase from us (and thereby make our continued open source offerings possible)?

If you have anything you want to share, please feel free to comment on this post… [UPDATE: if you have no login then feel free to email us at info at atomikos dot com]

Thank you!

To all candidate community members who did not manage to create a forum account:

now it should work again!

Security settings and anti-spam measures somehow broke the registration process - apologies for that

We've restricted access to https://www.atomikos.com/maven-repository (our maven repository) to customers only, so they can have easy and timely access to bug fixes, maintenance releases and full feature releases.

If you're not a customer then you have two options:

• Either subscribe today to become one, or
• Grab our community releases via maven central

In the near future we plan to distribute TransactionsEssentials exclusively via the central maven repo.
