FISL 2009 wrapped up over the weekend. Even though the
conference officially ended on Saturday but the connections made
there will certainly allow us to continue all the great momentum.
The conference celebrates open source and it was certainly great
to see Federal Government and Banks with their booths in the
exhibitor halls. The visit by Brazilian President Lula certainly
highlights the importance of this conference to the local
community. There were booths from Debian, Firefox, Ubuntu and
other major open source softwares. Some commercial vendors had a
booth as well and of course Sun Microsystems had a big presence
with GlassFish,
Open Solaris,
NetBeans,
MySQL and …

I presented on "Creating powerful web applications using
GlassFish, MySQL and NetBeans/Eclipse" as the first talk of
FISL 10 yesterday. The room was only partial full being the first
talk of FISL but got packed towards the middle so that was
exciting. The slides are available here.
The key message is that NetBeans and Eclipse provide a seamless development/deployment
environment for GlassFish.
The several demos shown in the talk are explained at:

I have been a total fan of SO since it went mainstream and it's now a borderline addiction (you can see my StackOverflow badge on the right sidebar).
The Story
Update 6/21/09: This server is currently under very heavy load (10-200), even with caching plugins enabled. Please bear with me as I try to resolve the situation.

FISL stands for "Forum Internacional Software Livre" in the
Portuguese language and means "International Free Software
Forum" in the English language. The punch line is "A
technologia que liberta" and means "The technology that
liberates". This is the biggest event about free software in America and was attended by 7417 participants in 2008. |
Just like "Freedom of Speech" is a basic human right, "Freedom of
Software" is a basic right for the technology evolution. GlassFish gives you the
freedom:

Spring forward. Freeloaders, leeches and hermits. Intel buys Wind River. And more.
Follow 451 CAOS Links live @caostheory
A Spring in its step
SpringSource boasted of rapid revenue growth while CEO Rod
Johnson claimed
that Red Hat’s Open Choice initiative is defensive response to
SpringSource, a suggestion that was denied by Rich Sharples.
