I was really happy to see that the event was crowded, it means that Opensource is becoming mainstream also here in Italy.

As scheduled I delivered my presentation on Puppet and OpenJCloud, a set of practices and opensource tools that enable cloud like infrastucture based on RHEL and JBoss. And of course I had some trouble with the microphone…

I also had the opportunity to have a nice chat with Sacha Laborouey, JBoss CTO, about Grails and some development about that.

See you next year

After the JBoss World last month as a “simple” attendee , this time I’m back from my first international event as a speaker! The Partner Summit was held in Malaga, the weather was warm and the sun was really hot, what a hard life!

In these three day I met a lot of interesting people from all around the Europe, and I found especially interesting the first keynote from Whitehurst and the last one from Mrs. Gebhardt. In Jim keynote I appreciated the vision on the future of opensource, and the need to involve customers in the “community”.The closing keynote of the event was really good because offered us a overview of the changes in  our society, like the model of interacting with each other(from a pyramid model to a networked one) and how this generate new scenarios and challenges for both companies and customers.

As scheduled Friday morning at 9(a.m. the night before there was the party…), I held my speech(first one in english) on JBoss Migrations process:D and the Murpy’s Law hit me! I was presenting when the projector blowup… but , fortunately a support man fixed the damned thing, and I had the time to finish. Nothing was thrown at me at the and so I believe that  whole thing gone well…

Summing it up , the event was interesting and  really well organized so I would like to thanks all the organizers behind the scenes!

Cheers

I’m looking forward to give you a live coverage of the events form the states, so stay tuned between 10 & 24 feb !
