At tomorrow/wednesday's (2/17/2010) meeting of the Oakland Java SIG Mik Kersten will be talking about the Eclipse Mylyn Open Source Project.

I have some very exciting news to announce today. Cloud Foundry has been acquired by SpringSource and I am now a SpringSource employee.

Last month I gave a couple of talks at Community One East in NY. One was about running Java applications on Amazon EC2. The other was about dynamically languages vs. static languages and why I am very interested in Scala. Here are the slides for that

Next week, there are a couple of interesting events: the Oakland Java SIG's April meeting on integration with Mule and SD Forum's Shaping the New Age of Application Development conference.

In May, I'll be giving a 1/2 day tutorial on running Java and Grails applications on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud. This will be part of Skills Matter's Progressive Web Tutorials.
