ApacheCon recap
As usual last week in Amsterdam was great. Meeting old friends,
making new ones. A few faces have been missed though. But
attendance was good and I’ve see many rooms quite packed.
WiFi sucked as usual. But well …shouldn’t you
listen and meet people? For me the most interesting part surely
was to get together with the
hadoop team. It was
really interesting to hear how others are using
hadoop and then compare
it to how we are using it at
joost. It’s always
re-assuring when you realize completely different people came to
the same conclusions …or have the same problems. Same
goes with the Mail 2.0 discussion that I had with
Robert. Unfortunately I didn’t catch any of the
Ivy guys. So still no
Ivy support for
minijar.
For those who couldn’t make it. You can find a bunch of
slides on slideshare.
Unfortunately I did only take very few pictures this time. The
few ones are (as usual) on flickr. The
Linux Magazin
did even record sessions that are available
on their website. Not free as in beer though. I wish I could at least watch the
keynote that missed because I had to leave early …to
catch a train that was canceled and then… but let’s
not go there. Let’s just put it that way: the trip back
could have been (much) better.
