Hi Developers!
Suppose you want to create your ObjectScript library to be distributed via ObjectScript Package Manager. And there is an obvious question: what is the naming convention on the packages and class names?
Naming packages and classnames
There is already some accepted practice with package managers and we will follow the best practices in this field. The most reasonable and simple looks the approach with having company as the first package then project as the second and then classes and subpackages of the project.
If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only on YOUR package.

Hi, everyone!
I want to share a personal project that started with a simple request at work:
Is it's possible to know how many Caché licenses we are using?
Reading other articles here in the community, I found this excellent article by David Loveluck
APM - Using the Caché History Monitor
https://community.intersystems.com/post/apm-using-cach%C3%A9-history-monitor
So, using David's article, I started using Caché History Monitor and to show all that information.
When facing the question: Which cool tech should I use?

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only on YOUR package.
So @Evgeny Shvarov suggested publishing my monthly summary of my reviews here in DC.
It reflects my experience with the status I found at the time of my review.
Just wanted to give visibility to a place in GitHub where everybody can publish Enhancement Requests, Ideas and Innovations that would be great to have in our InterSystems Technology ecosystem.
If you want to add your enhancement request, or take a look and see if there is already there and vote for it, contribute, etc..., click on this link. That doesn't guarantee that Product Management decides to go on that direction, they have to balance many things to decide our products roadmap, but having the direct input from our Community is invaluable.
Come on! Go for it and make your suggestions!
