The Clingan ZoneThe almost-daily thoughts of a customer-focused Sun employee.Reflecting on GlassFish Javaone- May 13, 2007 This is a first. 5 days of JavaOne and I only attended 2.5 sessions. I spent time meeting customers, partners and doing booth duty. I've mentioned a couple of times the passion of the GlassFish team. While the sign-up sheet was split into 2-hour shifts, many worked the booth far more than that. Being new to the role of GlassFish Product Manager, I am eager to talk to folks. Here's a summary of what I saw and heard (in no particular order):JavaOne generated tremendous awareness of GlassFish....http://blogs.sun.com/jclingan/entry/reflecting_on_javaone GlassFish interest & adoption JavaOne- May 10, 2007 Working the JavaOne GlassFish booth has been extremely rewarding. First, the message about GlassFish is getting out. The booth has been very busy. In some cases, folks are already using GlassFish and the rest want to learn more.Walking around the floor yesterday confirmed my thoughts regarding the breadth of GlassFish adoption already happening. For example, the folks at the Joyent booth had a laptop screen with "GlassFish Hosting Here". I had no idea but me-thinks I have Ben Rockwood.http://blogs.sun.com/jclingan/entry/glassfish_interest_adoption_javaone Liking Twitter for JavaOne- May 9, 2007 I'm liking Twitter in a major way for letting others know what I am doing at JavaOne, and for me keeping up with others as well. I'm sure I have more than 7 friends on Twitter, but I just haven't had the time to build my twitter network.For me, the big question is will I still use it post-J1 I think so, albeit not with the same punch output (I like to watch boxing ). Only time will tell.http://blogs.sun.com/jclingan/entry/liking_twitter_for_javaone CommunityOne- May 7, 2007 I'll be roaming around CommunityOne day. The only issue I have is that there is too much great content shoved in to too short a time period. I'd sure love to cross tracks into the OpenSolaris, NetBeans and Redmonk unConference tracks. I'm 100% committed to the GlassFish track, where where we expect both GlassFish veterans and a host of new users.Here's the GlassFish track agenda:10:00: General session (all tracks) 11:00: Getting Starting What's new12:10: Lunch wJonathan..http://blogs.sun.com/jclingan/entry/communityone Twittering CommunityOne & JavaOne- May 6, 2007 Instead of only blogging about JavaOne this year, I've decided to follow others (eg: here & here) add Twitter in to the mix. Feel free to subscibe to my twitter feed (via SMS, IM or RSS feed).Twitter augments blogging on JavaOne because: Attending a conference is highly transactional, from meeting people, attending sessions and seeing something new and cool on the show floorMy cell phone battery lasts longer than my laptop battery.More frequent updates because I can send SMS...http://blogs.sun.com/jclingan/entry/twittering_communityone_javaone |
