Live from Devoxx
I haven’t had much chance to get away from the booth much here at Devoxx, but I managed to sneak away to blog a bit about what’s going on. For the most part, I’ve just been meeting a lot of smart people who stopped by our booth (just look right when you enter the convention floor), but I also got to see Peter Kriens’ talk yesterday on OSGi. (Summary: services are the true innovation of OSGi - bundles just support their encapsulation.) Last night’s speaker dinner was nice as well. I got to talk to a lot of JUG leaders from around the world and many of the speakers. A lot of the same faces make the rounds at these conventions, but the good news is that many of them are highly qualified, intellegent, and experienced speakers. I got a chance to talk to a few guys from the Glassfish team about the direction of the JavaEE standards and Jersey. Top-notch engineers.
If you get a chance, please come to my talk later today at 16:40-17:40 in theater 7. That’s right, Theater 7. The venue here is great because we have a full movie screen on which to project our presentations. Time to check my resolution…
