The Goldfish Chronicles

Last night I gave a presentation to the Cincinatti Java Users Group on ‘Jakarta Commons Core’, a kind of informal internal name for a bunch of Commons projects. It took us a couple of hours to drive up there, which fortunately went without incident, and we made it just in time.

The talk went well enough I think I did my usual slideshow [okay, second time now, I finally have a structure to talks] which is currently available here.

I generally try to sell things a bit, trying to get people to use the libraries, trying to get people to see that the doors into the apache community aren’t that hard to open, and trying to show some of the interesting things out there.

So I rambled on. Mentioned the Java weblog world, various of the big arguments that have happened at Apache/Jakarta since I joined, got a free dinner Then we got home late last night and I’m trying to stay awake this afternoon.

Oh.. biggest bit. There were about 25 people there. None of whom I knew [apart from a few guys I came up with, so that’s a lie]. Biggest group I’ve talked to.
