JavaOne 2008 experience (more with GlassFish)
As a regular JavaOne attendee, this year 2008 also I was at JavaOne. It is a world's largest Java developers conference organized by Sun and happens every year at Moscone Center, San Francisco.
I feel the crowd is more than last year! Seen many students and stalls in the pavillion.
Here are few highlights!
GlassFish is everywhere wherever you go (in similar to Java) ! Many sessions and in the pavillion indicated the same.
V3 is amazingly fast! I heard that too from many folks. It is happy to share the same with others;)
Potential customers : few folks asked about support or subscriptions. Good to see this for future revenues!
GF Quality Community awareness was done fantastically. I am one of the community owners from Sun. Taking the testing as open source - not just a tool but the entire testing to community is great idea to face the challenges in the today's open integrations and maintaining the quality! More than 75 members interested in signing the SCA.
Students showed lot of interest in our GFQC program and also rewards. They listened! At least students from 4 different universities were met.
Others
Lot of free goodies. GF booths always had folks around!
Lot of network happened around the people.
Java Mobile and JavaFX have been highlighted.
