jeudi mai 01, 2008 Any announcements left for JavaOne?
It really seems that this year, announcements are happening before JavaOne.
Here's what I have so far (I'm sure I missed some, adding as we go):
• GlassFish v3 does OSGi
• NetBeans 6.1 released
• Spring Application Platform
• Java 6 on the Mac (late, but still faster than JBoss on Java EE 5 ;)
• OpenJDK 6 in Fedora and Ubuntu
• Embedded GlassFish
• XWikiWorkspaces
Hum, I'm wondering if they were all planned long in advance or somehow related one to another...
Anyway, plenty more to come at JavaOne I'm sure. Full speed ahead!
vendredi avril 11, 2008 GlassFish un-conference on May 4th 2008 (Pre-JavaOne)
I've sent the following to the "advocacy" alias of the GlassFish community, but thought people could also read and comment here:
Hi all,
We're lucky to have access to a room in the Moscone Center on the Sunday before CommunityOne/JavaOne (May 4th) and would like to take this opportunity to run an un-conference with the GlassFish community.
I'd love to get your feedback on our current thinking:
- Parallel sessions with content based on the people who show up and their interest
- Sessions are discussions much more than they are formal presentations but we do need a leader for each
- My job would be to track/secure at minimum set of people able to run such sessions.
- Event starting around (no earlier than) 3pm
- Total event time would about 3 hours starting with a 30-minute agenda planning session.
- Potential topics based on early discussion and people who've said to be likely in town on the Sunday:
- scaling & clustering techniques (different approaches, real-life usage)
- making money with GlassFish, how can Sun help (partner program, co-marketing, ...)
- teaching Java EE 5 with GlassFish
- packaging technologies (which one to use when)
- real-life GlassFish experiences
- dynamic languages for GlassFish v2, v3
- GlassFish v3 architecture
- community and GAP (how to grow the community, status on GAP)
- performance
- JSF, Ajax, Web 2.0 marketplace
- [your choice here]
- The number of // tracks would depend on the number of people showing up (no point in having 2-people session).
- One-hour session should probably be the default
Some technical details/constraints :
- Room set up with a bunch of round tables
- Power and network connectivity provided
- No beamer/projector
If there's enough interest, we could also try to have a "GlassFish porting fest" with people working/hacking on GlassFish and their application throughout the event in a dedicated part of the room
PS: I hear talks about a party at the end of that day (Sunday), but this may just be rumors ;)

Open source is not about "good enough" clones
This JavaOne was certainly big on client technologies which probably made my friend Romain very happy. Just looking at three announcements it may sound as if these are simply clones to existing technologies: JavaFX is compared to Flash, WorldWind Java to Google Earth and Project Wonderland (and derived MPK20) to SecondLife.
They all have Java in common but that's not the point. I would argue that community work and openness is what makes plausible the promise of taking existing concepts to a new level. Open source JavaFX runs everywhere, not just in most browsers, but on all platforms. WorldWind Java is not extensible via plugins, it *is* a plugin. Project Wonderland is bringing business collaboration to what today is essentially anonymous gaming.

• I'll be in most GlassFish-related sessions.
• The JavaPosse BOF is most likely on my schedule.
• Et j'attends toujours d'Eric la date du pot francophone. Un bon moment en perspective.
mercredi avril 25, 2007 Get a feel for GlassFish Day and JavaOne
Listen to Jerome Dochez and Roberto Chinnici talk about scripting, GlassFish and the upcoming JavaOne 2007 conference.
Both Roberto and Jerome will be at GlassFish Day.
mercredi avril 18, 2007 Eduardo has been busy covering the work in progress for GlassFish Day (part of CommunityOne). The event is FREE and still taking registrations.
Once you're registered for GlassFishDay/CommunityOne, you can attend any event (see agenda) and we'll be working until the very end to made the GlassFish content as interesting as possible, so keep reading The Aquarium. Note finally that if you are an SDN member GlassFishDay/CommunityOne will get you a free pass to the first day of JavaOne!

JavaOne proposal notifications
My bloglines account is down, but I'm pretty sure it's full of people telling you they didn't get their paper in for this JavaOne as I've received my negative notification :(
Next time I'll read Hani advices :)
