Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:15:23 -0700

• The GAP (GlassFish Awards Program) is now over and the list of winners is public.
• We have over 100 winners and as mentioned previously we thought we could go highlight some contributions, some winners and other interesting facts we've gathered along the journey.
• So here is the place we this will all happen: http://blogs.sun.com/gap.
See you there!

JRuby for Java Skeptics, GAP in Sao Paolo, Brazil, OpenSSO, OpenDS and GF, MySQL Users Conference

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:15:58 -0700

A compilation of today's news of interest:

From Ruby-land, Zargony is warming up to JRbuy and explains Why I'm starting to like JRuby even though I dislike Java. And Arun writes a short list of the Advantages of JRuby over MRI.

We have been sending notifications to GAP (the GlassFish Awards Program) for a while but on MOnday we had a Press Release aligned with the first SunTech Days in Sao Paolo to celebrate the winners located in Brazil. Special congratulations to Claudio and Reginaldo who were at the event. We are planning a number of blogs to highlight the GAP winners; we won't be able to cover the 108 of them (!) but we will sample a few.

And, Arun is visiting Sao Paolo (and other cities in Brazil) and writes about ES JUG... And about Embu das Artes and about Travel Tips in Brazil.

Showing part of the spread of the Friends and Family part of the GlassFish Server two tutorials: First Sidharth and Marina show OpenSSO on GlassFish, and then Ludo points to John Yeary's Doing authentication and authorization with GlassFish and OpenDS.

Giuseppe points out that the call for papers for the MySQL Users Conference is still open.

PS. There is a lot of work to do before GFv3 prelude goes out; tracking the news during the next few weeks is going to be tricky, please bear with us.

GAP Status Report

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:08:13 -0700

Several people have asked about the status of the GAP program, so here is a very quick update.

According to the rules, the submission period closed end of June; the list of submissions is at GapSubmissions, with 260 bug submissions and 52 contribution submissions. The next step was for the program judges, which were Gregg Sporar, Simon Phipps, Paul Sterk, Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine and myself.

The summer slowed down a bit the evaluation process but for the last 4 weeks the jury, with help from the leads of the different projects, validated the bug submissions and judged the contributions. We also applied some of the contest rules, like no more than 5 winners for Bugs and 1 per contribution.

There were many, very good, submissions and the judges reflected that quality by spreading the awards. We have reported the results to the outside company that is helping with the final steps, so we cannot give you the final report yet, but we can give you some ballpark information. We have around 102 winners with very wide geographic distribution. We expect all the contribution prizes to be awarded, and we expect around 16 honorable mentions.

More details as soon as we get final confirmations!

OSCon 2008 Video Matrix

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:05:44 -0700

As part of a project of Technocation, Inc I took a whole bunch of videos at OSCon 2008. The conference was about a month ago, and about 2 weeks ago I’d finished processing and uploading all the videos, but it was only today where I had the 5-6 hours I needed to finish posting all the video, and making this matrix of video.

The video may not be the quality that the O’Reilly folks took and put up on blip tv’s OSCon site, but all the videos here are freely downloadable or playable in your browser.

How eyeOS is most likely to change the world (by Matt Hartley)

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:58:49 -0700

Mat Harley, writer at Datamation has written a great article about the finalists at the Most Likely to Change the World SourceForge award. It analyzes one by one all the finalists to see why they are most likely to change the world.

From the article,

[...] EyeOS, if developed to the point where users can quite literally take their desktops with them anywhere, could prove to be invaluable. There are instances where bringing along a notebook, assuming it is in sync with the files on your desktop, can prove to be more of a hassle than a benefit. [...] (by Matt Hartley)

Congratulations Linux!

Some hours ago SourceForge.net published the winners of the “Community Choice Awards 2008“. eyeOS has been a finalist of the category “Most Likely to Change the World”.

The eyeOS project has been founded nearly 3 years ago and our community is growing hard since eyeOS 1.0 has been released. We are surprised, that so many people use eyeOS!

The category “Most Likely to Change the World” counts eleven projects. Three of them are traditional Operating Systems: Linux and its distribution Ubuntu and the ReactOS project, which develops a system with compatibility to Microsoft Windows. That fact tells us that eyeOS is in the right way for the future: Not just because of being one of the eleven projects Most Likely to Change the World, but also to be there with traditional Operating Systems.

We want to thank everyone who voted for us!

We will publish information about the next versions soon. Please stay tuned!
