I’m at BarCampChicago today. Just got here, but so far so good. I already like the first talk - The Future of Software is Hardware. He’s talking about the growing trend of personalization in the world - i.e. desktop fabrication, or threadless. Also, they have more beer, wine and alcohol than any other event I’ve been to of this size.

The Apache Geronimo team just announced that they’re JEE certified as of today with their 2.0-M6-RC1 release. This is especially good news from a CXF point of view as Geronimo used CXF for JAX-WS certification!

A big congratulations to everyone on the Geronimo and CXF teams. Some people that deserve an especially large thanks for helping certify CXF inside G include Dan Kulp, Jarek Gawor, Jeff Genender, Jervis Liu,  Jim Ma, and I’m sure many others as well. (I’m pretty sure that I’ll be permanently remembered as the guy who kept breaking the Geronimo build in an effort to add some of the missing features, so I’m lucky these people are still talking to me ;-)).
