Jean-Francois has uploaded a presentation on Comet and Grizzly to the GlassFish Presentation page; it is available under the Creative Commons license (by-nc-sa), like my GlassFish and Java EE 5 presentation, so feel free to use it to spread the word on this work. Also check JFA's blog, the presentation and more TA articles.

I've uploaded the presentation from Sun TechDay to the GlassFish Presentations Page. I've followed Simon's example and made it available under the Creative Commons [cc-by-nc-sa] license (Attribution, Non-Commercial, ShareAlike). The intention is that this slidedeck can be used as the basis for other presentations to encourage the use of the technologies in Project GlassFish.

If you are not familiar with Creative Commons, you may want to check them out. Their goal is to "Enable the legal sharing and reuse of cultural, educational, and scientific works." I will upload additional presentations with this license as soon as I have some time to do so.

Gopalan has been doing a whole collection of good writeups that would be very useful to learn BPEL. Gopalan is in the team that works on OpenESB (includes JBI); most of his entries relate strictly to BPEL but some address specifically BPEL and JBI. Gopalan, Ron, and John are some of the bloggers I enjoy reading in this area.

Entries on BPEL include:

• What are Correlation, Message Property, Property Alias, and Correlation Set
• What are PartnerLinkTypes, Roles, and PartnerLinks
• The BPEL Mapper
• The BPEL Debugger

Entries on the intersection on BPEL and JBI include:

• The WS-BPEL JBI Service Engine
• The HTTP/SOAP JBI Binding Component
• Insurance Claim Scenario: Orchestration using BPEL and JBI - This is based on J1 TS, see nice review
• Nice Follow-up Article based on the above (Ron's recommendation, TA spotlight).

This week is FOSS.in, the Free and Open Source Software event at Bangalore. The event is happening at Bangalore Palace Grounds. The event used to be called Linux-Bangalore and hosted by a local linux user group, the event has metamorphosed this year to include the larger FOSS community. From what bloggers say, the event is very succesful. Bloggers include fossdotinblog, Binod, Navaneeth, Stephen and Shalini. Project GlassFish is represented, as is its use with NetBeans 5 to write some Java EE 5 applications. Here is a Flash Demo which seems to be based on the example described in Pavel's recent blog. The NetBeans side has a more polished Demo, as well as several other demos.

Ludo is giving a presentation on GlassFish and NetBeans at the Developer Day at JavaPolis 2005, December 12th to 16th, in Antwerp. Some more details in Ludo's blog. Alexis also points out you can win an Ultra 20.
