Castellers

We did it! It was a huge effort at the end but the team pulled it off and you can now download both GlassFish v2 and its companion Sun Java System AppServer 9.1. My overview of the release is here; a pretty complete blog rounup is here. The photo shows a Castell being built; like in software, there are Many Roles involved, some are: • pinya - first level support, stabilizes castell, catches anybody falling • folre - a second level support, on top of the pinya • manilles - the third level support, on top of the folre • enxanyeta - the kid at the top • aixecador - the one under the enxanyeta • dossos - the level raising the aixecador • cap de colla - leader, working with advisers and assistants.

The photo shows shows the Margeners de Guissona building a medium-sized castell but here is a big one by the Castellers de Villafranca: a tres de 10 amb folre i manilles (3 at the base, 10 high, all the roles involved). Many people need to do their tasks very well to build such a big castell; like with this release. Congratulations to all!
