I've never been at Oracle OpenWorld so I'm very curious about how it feels. In preparation, yesterday I poked around a bit and found several videos that may (or not, we will see) convey a bit the mood... check them out and let me know what you think. If you only have time for one, I recommend the last one.

Keynote Preview Series:
Applications,
Virtualization,
DataBases,
Middleware.
|
The main blog for OpenWorld is Oracle OpenWorld and there will be live streamcasting of multiple events at OpenWorld Live.

Hudson fans no longer have to be envious of POssO (the portable administration console for OpenSSO) or of Zen (the OpenDS variant); now you can also show-off your iPhone through the Hudson Helper for iPhone - see it in action Building Galileo. Not content with just that, David also ported the Hudson Helper To Android! Me thinks somebody should do a good JavaFX version... then you could run it in your TV!! |

Too long since our last
Friday Fun Thanks to Jesse for the tip. Check the youTube post for a larger image and this piece from Illuminata's Gordon Haff for some complementary comments of Fishworks and DTrace. |

I felt like a break so I took the latest Google Trend on searches on GlassFish, WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss (live, archived) and tried to apply a smooth curve on it. No statisticians were harmed in eye-balling these graphs... but the cross-overs are WebLogic - 2010 and WebSphere and JBoss - 2012. |
If a Statistics-savy guys wants to give it a try please let me know what you get :-)
We are in the middle of a substantial upswing on the GF; the world economy "troubles" seem to be accelerating our adoption significantly so I suspect the data will become much clearer in a few months.
|
Ignacio just posted a note on Stupid Conclusions Using Google Trends that remind me of my earlier Friday Fun with Google Fights... I added Tomcat for fun and found (live, snapshot) that the only container that is gaining is GlassFish (live, snapshot). But, what does this mean? Maybe Tomcat is really losing ground... or maybe there are just fewer searches? |
Anyhow, have a good weekend! :-)
|
Just as Friday Fun, and with all the usual caveats, here are some GoogleFights:
• GlassFish vs OC4J
(live,
archive)
|
We beat OC4J easily and squeeze a win against Geronimo but lose against JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere and Tomcat. The gap with WebLogic and JBoss is less than I was expecting, given how establish those projects are. Overall, not bad for (not yet) a two-year old project.

OK, folks. Share some fun with the rest of us... Contribute your favorite fun links to the comments list. I'll start the list with:
