Sridatta and Dhiru, the two leads for the GlassFish v2 release, are requesting feedback and lessons learned for this open source development experience - "... We tried to follow an open source process including request for features, specifications, review of specs, development, planning, milestones, meetings and discussions in the open. It is your support that made it possible".

The feedback is expected on USERS and DEV mailing lists, but we'll happily forward any comments we receive here on this blog.

Added: This entry includes coverage for day 2; also see: [day 1], [day 2], [day 3], [day 4], [day 5] and [day 6].

Note to self: file under "lessons learned" and "problems I'd like to have"... My original plan for reporting on the release of GlassFish v2 FCS had been to provide an in-place update to a News Roundup but we have had so many reports that a better approach would have been to provide several updates through the day, plus daily updates and a recap at the end.

Anyhow, learning, below is a quick update at Tuesday morning. The list is partial - I'll try to really catch up for Wednesday morning; also, the original Launch Roundup grew a lot through Monday, so you may want to check it out also.
