Happy Birthday CSPro!

[jinnee6603]

Hi CSPro Team,

I’m a bit late in saying this — but still, happy 25th birthday!

Thank you for your continued dedication, timely responses, and incredibly patient support over the years. Your work has made a real difference to so many of us in the field.

I wish that we can continue walking on a well-paved road for collecting data — and let data speak.

With appreciation from a loyal user since version 4.1,
Best regards,

Jing

Thanks, Jing!

We had initially planned to have a nice celebration for CSPro's 20th birthday, but COVID-19 disrupted that. Due to things happening in the U.S. now, with so much uncertainty, CSPro's 25th birthday was also a bit somber.

Hopefully CSPro will still be around in 2030 and we can host a truly proper celebration then!

A very late Happy Birthday to CSProisers and the CSPro Developer Team!

As the CSPro Developer Team know, I have been advocating for years for an open and open source CSPro. Hopefully, we have both as for now:

• a) With CSPro 8.1, we will have a true CSPro-JS bidirectional API, so CSPro is widely open to the JS world;

• b) We have an open source CSPro, even if we are waiting for an open roadmap and some kind of, even basic, developer guidelines;

For years, I have been advocating also for an annual CSProusers conference, I hope my dream will come true in the next years.

The latest weeks, I read some articles about MySQL and Java birthdays (30 old years each) and I said to myself if CSPro (25 years old...) was open and open source earlier, it would be more widely used and having an open source ecosystem around him. It is obviously that the closed development of CSPro penalize him a lot. Thanks again for the lead, mainly Greg for providing us an open and an open source CSPro. I continue to bet on CSPro and I hope to contribute on his future.

I will always remember the patience the Developer Team, mainly Greg, took with me and the time they spent in helping me building my actual CSPro programming skills.

I'm also very grateful to the CSPro Developer Lead, Savy, for his open-mindedness!
