Soul Power

I’ve just been calming down a little after almost two weeks of travelling conferences. Right after W-JAX one week ago in Munich, some colleagues and me took a trip to Antwerp to visit Devoxx 2009. I was supposed to give a talk on Hades on Monday what aligned perfectly to the factthat we released version [...]

Right now I’m sitting in the train back home from Düsseldorf to Mannheim. It’s been two exciting days at the GearConf, a conference centered around software development in teams. Thus the spectrum of talks ranged from rather process oriented ones to tool oriented ones.
Thursday began with a talk on whether a dayly release is really [...]

After I got started holding presentations at conferences at Devoxx last year, this autumn will get really packed with presentation dates. I will kick of the season at GearConf in Düsseldorf. On Thursday Oct. 1st I will speak about increasing developer productivity with Mylyn. During development of Hades Mylyn became an indispensable tool to get [...]

I just want to announce that I am going to speak about Hades at Devoxx and The Server Side Java Symposium this year. The TSSJS takes place in Prague (Czech Republic) from Oct. 27th to 28th whereas Devoxx will be held between Nov. 16th and  20th in Antwerp (Beligum). I am thrilled by the list [...]

The first two days are over, time to wrap up the first half of it. The actual conference started on Tuesday but the day before there was a Hackathon on alternative languages on the JVM. But let me start from scratch.
My flight to the states was actually quite nice although it took me almost 24h [...]

2 more days and I will make my way to Crested Butte, CO to join this year’s Java Posse Roundup. Not having attended an “Uncoference” before I really look forward to this style of conference as the concept sounds promising. The week will be packed with geek activities but also leave room for leisure as [...]

I’m taking a break currently, skipping one of the talks here. Devoxx is actually the most exciting conference I ever attended and I want to take the chance to recap some of the impressions I got here. After 4 days of non-daylight, lots of coffee and coke, I really have to say that I liked [...]

Tomorrow some colleagues and me will be travelling to Antwerp, Belgium to attend this years Devoxx (formerly known as JavaPolis / Javoxx) conference. I really look forward to this as conferences are always a good change to sniff the latest news and currents as well as meeting a lot of fellow developers. Furthermore I will [...]
