Profile support is a key mechanism to make GlassFish V2 usable to simple developers and complex deployments. Kedar will be presenting the current proposal today, Wednesday, at 9am Pacific (GMT-7) time. I meant to post this yesterday but I scheduled it for the wrong day, my apologies for the short notice! Check the One Pager, and participate in the concall. For more information and future meetings, check the UE Wiki page.

Now, here is a question for the community. I would like to see more Non-Sun participation in these discussions, and I'd welcome suggestions on how to improve that. The current approach used by the GlassFish team relies on concalls to quickly cover the material initially, but a concall requires synchronicity and makes it hard for a casual or latecomer to participate. Groups like Apache rely on mailing lists, but these can drag over long periods of time - and email conversations do not work very well over +11 TZs.

In the brave new world of Wikis, forums, flashd demos, etc... do you have suggestions on how to increase participation without substantially slowing down development? Let us know your ideas so we can start trying them out.
