fnokd!

As noted earlier, Rebecca and I flew off to Europe last week for a little holiday, JavaPolis, and a week of JBoss.org team meetings.
With the winds behind us, we managed to make it to Schiphol airport in a record 6.5hrs from Newark. Not bad at all.
Met up with James Cobb, the kick-ass .org brand-manager/designer at […]

In about 24 hours I’ll be jetting towards Antwerp, Belgium to attend JavaPolis. I’ll also be meeting most of my team for the first time, as the development stars from Poland wing their way westward.
JBoss has a booth, and a bundle of core developers (and management) will either be attending or speaking.

Some of my colleagues have put together a page detailing JBoss’s participation at the conference.
Speakers from JBoss include Gavin King and Emmanuel Bernard, Michael Yuan, Tom Baeyens and many others.
I’ll be hanging out at Booth #1418 along with James […]

Just got back from Vegas, where I participated on a panel about opensource and business at TheServerSide Java Symposium. It involved five of us from businesses that were related to opensource in some form. It did not include Geir Magnusson, who apparently had better things to do.

Alfresco, John Newton
JBoss, some guy with a […]

This has been an interesting week in terms of networking. Actual TCP/IP networking, that is. First, there’s the normal jumping between the hotel and office networks. The hotel, nicely enough, was completely free. The office was also free, after entering what seemed to be an 480-character security key and avoiding the other […]

I’m going to be in Austin, Texas all next week for the Day Job. Seems like most folks I used to know in Austin have moved to Houston or other places. If you are in Austin, and particularly if you want to buy me some beers, let me know.
I don’t know the area, […]
