OSGi DevCon 2012 / EclipseCon

Did you already make your arrangements for OSGi DevCon? It is almost 4 weeks before the conference starts and you sure do not want to miss it. Not only do we have a very strong program this year, we also have an OSGi Cloud workshop on Thursday. And, last but I hope not least, it will be the last time to meet me in my role as OSGi Evangelist/Editor/Technical Director/Gopher!

I really hope I will meet most of you on the conference!

Cloud Workshop During OSGi DevCon/EclipseCon

The OSGi Alliance is organizing a second Cloud workshop during OSGi Devcon! Thursday March 29. The workshop will run from 9am to 1pm. Attendance is free but requires registration.

RFP 133, our document describing the areas we could look into, has matured over the past year. It is clear from this work that OSGi and the cloud are a natural fit. The next stage is working on actual specifications that will make building reliable and robust cloud based systems easier. For this, we need to set priorities.

We will start with a number of presentations from Paremus, JClouds, eBay and RedHat/JBoss about the work that has been done in this area. After this we will move on to a discussion about priorities since we want to start the RFC work.

We have a limited number of places, if you want to attend register quick because there are a limited number of places and we already have quite a list of registrations. Details can be found here.

 
I will definitely attend the Cloud workshop since it is close to my heart. It will, however, be one of my last activities as the OSGi Technical Director before moving on ...
