Brief post from JaxItalia 2009 in Milano, during one of the last presentations of this conference. A good conference, nicely organized by Software and Support, featuring many international speakers.
Yesterday I did my “OSGi in the Enteprise” presentation, and it is already available on Slideshare.

2009 so far has been quite busy: I’ve started my own company in January, but I haven’t been able to do much with it being busy contracting for Vodafone. Then I had the opportunity to become every month more involved in the OSGi community, first being elected committer of Apache Felix, going to ApacheCon and OSGi DevCon Europe, then talking with different people and companies interested in applying this technology in their products. Finally, I’m getting ready for a busy November when I’ll fly to Milano for JaxItalia and then to Antwerp for Devoxx in the space of the week. More details on these conferences in future posts (hopefully). Going to the (small) changes of the title: my resolution for the last trimester of 2009 is to limit the consulting work to (at most) 60% of the time, to focus on some product ideas and on expanding my business. Starting from tomorrow, when I’ll enjoy my first “free day” since months. |
A lot to things to figure out yet: how to organize my time, without strict deadlines and clear requirements, and avoid to waste time surfing the net (and playing Farmville 
). And how to market my ideas, demos and company.
A lot of new stuff, interesting stuff though.

End of summer updates means, first of all, that I forgot to blog again. Some things never change… Anyway, there are some things to save of this summer. First of all, I started the season flying to Zurich to attend the OSGi Devcon 2009, just a few days after being accepted as Apache Felix committer. Had a good time there, met many good people, and ate my first original Swiss fondue (burp). Probably reinvigorated by the experience, I decided to put (much) more effort on the OSGi Look. First of all I bought myself a Linode virtual server and migrated all the data over there. Secondly, I started to post on a regular schedule, and to follow all the (yadda-yadda) SEO and “pro” blogging websites. Fascinating world (just kidding). Anyway, the OSGi Look is going very well. Lots of pageviews, good contents (check!), and plenty of ideas that only need some time to be implemented. |
