Tech Days Seattle

Sun Tech Days are Sun's Developer Conference. They are given around the world. The next one is in Seattle, September 6-8, 2006. If you're a developer, this is a good way to learn about developing with OpenSolaris, Solaris, NetBeans, Java, and all our developer tools.


The first day, September 6th, is devoted to OpenSolaris and NetBeans. The OpenSolaris portion will cover the following topics:

There will also be a BoF and reception to talk about the OpenSolaris community, partnering, and university collaboration. OpenSolaris Day is free, but you must register within the next week at https://www28.cplan.com/pls/pg_sun/c154_reg_entry.reg_us.


Our own Stephen Hahn will be presenting there, so make sure you get a chance to hear him and meet him. He always wears a tie, so he's pretty easy to spot.


Future Tech Days, with OpenSolaris Days, will be Shanghai September 22-24, and Beijing September 27-29. You can find the full calendar here. (I'll be at the Atlanta one in case you were wondering....)

IBM takes potshots at OpenSolaris

Called "potshots" because they were smoking pot when they made them.


Dan, buddy, you need to go have a talk with that programmer you assigned to watch over us. He's not paying attention. I hate to tell managers how to manage their employees, but really, the guy hasn't looked at opensolaris.org at all. The community sees everything. Our designs are going on in the open -- just look at any of the communities. We even have a site for code reviews. If you can find something we should be doing better, please tell me. We're always looking at ways to improve our site.


The crowning moment of the article, though, is Dan complaining that "Sun holds [OpenSolaris] behind the firewall" in one breath, and then saying that "there would be no point to making AIX open-source" in the next.


Too funny, Dan.

Are We in a Web 2.0 Bubble?

So lots of people are making fun of the term "Web 2.0". Well, at least Nick Douglas over at Valleywag is. I have to admit, the term is becoming rather uncool.


Nevertheless, Techcrunch has an interesting documentary about the Web 2.0 bubble, or lack there-of. Worth watching....
