    [ANN] Talking at openworldforum in Paris this Friday

    I'll be talking at Open World Forum in Paris later this week, presenting a condensed version of my Open Source Collaboration Tools are Good for You talk, this Friday at 13:40 (and no, the topic is not "Coming Soon" as indicated on the program ;-)

    Later on Friday afternoon, I'll take part in a forum (in french) on the future of open source forges. I haven't seen the list of participants yet, but the topic looks promising.

    Sander Striker, Executive Vice President of the Apache Software Foundation, will also be there for a roundtable this Thursday after the 16:30 keynote.

    And I'll be staying with fellow Apache member Emmanuel Lecharny - meeting the locals is always nice, and Emmanuel's a city cyclist as well, so we'll be able to trade city jungle tricks I guess.

    The conference looks quite busy with lots of interesting presentations, roundtables and workshops.

    Looking forward to it, and make sure to say bonjour if you're around!

    Data First in Cloud Persistence

    My colleague Cedric Huesler gave a talk "Data First in Cloud Persistence" at yesterday's CloudCamp in London. Missed it? You'll have another chance next week at the Frankfurt CloudCamp. Meanwhile, here's the slide deck (I love the second slide):

    3 weeks to go - next CQ5 at Customer Summit

    In 3 weeks from today we are going to kick-off our annual Customer Summit in Zurich (and two weeks later in Chicago). Going through the office in Basel feels like everybody is busy making sure the events are going to be awesome.

    The engineering team is putting the final touch on what has been in the making for multiple years - yes - I'm talking about JCR 2.0. It is exciting to witness the implementation of the next generation content infrastructure API and see what it does for the user facing content applications. The next version of our WCM, DAM and Social Collaboration platform CQ5 - to be unveiled at the Customer Summits - is taking full advantage of JCR 2.0 (JSR-283). This for sure is great news for developers. They get an extended rock solid API to build content applications and integration services.

    Another mission - with focus to reduce the distance between the author and the consumer (visitor) - resulted in a slew of new CQ5 features. We want content authors to have a better insight on how their content is consumed and provide feedback what worked and what not. With this, we are closing an important loop in providing targeted content to an apparently unknown audience.

    If that is not enough, I'm sure you are interested to learn how the City of Chicago, Adobe, New York University (in Chicago), Telecom Italia, Boehringer Ingelheim and Investec (in Zurich) are using the Day products. That's only an excerpt of companies and partners that will participate - we are finalizing the agenda this week and will make it available starting next week.

    For all of you already signed-up for the Summit - we are looking forward to share with you the latest awesomeness in Zurich or Chicago. If you haven't - it's not too late.

    [LOTD] Apache Projects: last 10 years, next 10 years

    eWeek has looked back 10 years of Apache Software Foundation (see also this interview). They have identified 11 Apache projects that they think have changed computing in the last 10 years (an awesome lineup!) as well as 10 technologies that will change computing in the next 10 years. Amongst the latter: Apache Jackrabbit and Sling.

    OpenJCR

    A new effort has been started over at java.net to implement

    an open source community project building a free and comprehensive next generation content repository defined by the Java Content Repository API specification (JSR-170 and JSR-283)

    The project is called OpenJCR. Its aims are

    OpenJCR is designed to address large deployments, to provide high performance, to be highly extensible, secure, and easy to deploy in a server or embedded environment.

    Not much to see so far, but then the project seems to be really young. In any case, it is good to see another JCR open source implementation project popping up.
