Keeping up with Apache(Con)

ApacheCon Europe 2009 is underway. The Hadoop and OSGi sessions have been packed, but I’ve been stuck in foundation meetings and unable to attend. If you’re not at the conference, you can watch the keynotes and selected sessions online for free. In fact, you can watch my session on Friday!

My A Day of REST training class on Monday went well. I’m still pretty happy with the “RESTful Tic-Tac-Toe” example I came up with. I’m hoping to turn that example into a series of articles on the blog here.

In other news, the Apache Foundation is 10 years old today! We finally have a set of official blogs for the foundation running at blogs.apache.org that complements our committer blog aggregator, Planet Apache, which recently moved. These are in addition to our official foundation and conference twitter accounts.

And finally, on a personal note, my wife Jenny joined me for the first few days of the conference. As she was leaving for Hong Kong this morning, she kept mentioning how much she enjoyed Amsterdam and meeting the Apache committer community. You can read some of her thoughts on our Peregrinari weblog.
