Blogging RollerDave Johnson on blogging, open source and Javablogcentral.jpost.com- March 5, 2008 The Jerusalem Post is blogging with Apache Roller. (Belated) Congratulations to developer Odelya Glick and the rest of the JPost web team on the site launch. linkhttp://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/blogcentral_jpost_com Sweet OpenSocial preso- March 4, 2008 From the Graphing Social Patterns 2008 conference, a sweet OpenSocial presentation with a nice overview of the emerging standard, status of the Apache Shindig project, details of the Hi5 implementation, some cute pictures of my buddy Pat Chanezon's kids and some very fine art (I think Pat forgot to credit the artist).http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/sweet_opensocial_preso Welcome to Sun!- March 4, 2008 It's great to be welcoming new folks to Sun, especially when they're brilliant people like Ted Leung and Nick Kew, both of whom, by the way, are members of the Apache Software Foundation. I met Ted at ApacheCon US 2004 in Vegas and he answered all my questions about the implications of moving Roller to the ASF. And I met Nick at ApacheCon EU 2006 in Dublin and we chatted, over a couple of pints of Guiness, about the perils and pleasures of working from home and other things. I'm also pretty...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/welcome_to_sun HOWTO: Configure caching in Apache Roller- March 3, 2008 Since the early days, Roller has included a pluggable caching system for blog pages and feeds.

March seems to have snuck up behind me, spun me around and punched me right in the stomach. Not good. I need more time. Slides for my Advanced Roller talk are due today, ApacheCon EU is a little over a month away and JavaOne is right around the corner (more about that later). That's enough whining. Now, it's my duty to remind you that there's still plenty of time to register for...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/apachecons_2008 |
