Blogging RollerDave Johnson on blogging, open source and JavaProject SocialSite Enterprise 2.0- May 30, 2008 Looks like we made it to the final round of the Enterprise 2.0 LaunchPad competition and so Project SocialSite will be one of the five projects that will "present their ideas in front of an audience of creators, evangelists and adopters of cutting edge technologies who will provide feedback in real-time and decide the winner." Thanks to all who voted for SocialSite. And in other news, Arun Gupta has put together a very nice ten minute screencast that shows Project SocialSite in action.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/project_socialsite_enterprise_2_0 Project SocialSite on the launchpad round 2- May 23, 2008 As Arun notes in his post, Project SocialSite made it to round 2 of the Enterprise 2.0 conference Lauchpad and so we made another short video. This time we got some help from Sun internal TV studio folks and added a little extra polish. Check it out and rate it uphttp://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/project_socialsite_on_the_launchpad OpenSocial summit next week- May 8, 2008 There will be a OpenSocial Summit: May 14th, at the Googleplex covering the new v0.8 spec changes and all sorts of other interesting things. Wish I could make it, but I'll be happily back home in the old north state. Hopefully, somebody from the SocialSite team will be able to attend.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/opensocial_summit_next_week Struts 2 in Action- May 7, 2008 Struts 2 is my favorite Java web framework these days; it's REST-friendly, simple, easy to use, very flexible and the only thing it has with its creaky old Struts 1.x parent is the fact that it's an action framework rather than a component framework like JSF. As most of my readers probably already know, Struts 2 is based on WebWorkXWork the framework that powers JIRA and Confluence, two of the coolest Java webapps around. Apparently, I'm not alone in this thinking -- I keep on running into...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/struts_2_in_action SocialSite on the LaunchPad- May 7, 2008 One more thing to mention before I hit the JavaOne opening reception: Bobby Bissett submitted a short and to-the-point video on Project SocialSite to the Enterprise 2.0 LaunchPad. Please check it out and help us vote it uphttp://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/socialsite_on_the_launchpad Getting the word out- May 7, 2008 Jamey Wood and I presented our Introduction to Project SocialSite yesterday. We had a much larger crowd than I expected, given the number of concurrent talks -- I'm guessing there were close to 300 people in the room. I hope to be able to post a link to the slides at some point in the near future because right now we've got almost no information on Project SocialSite on the web. Now that we've got permission to talk about the project, I'm going to try to change that. I spent most of the day in.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/getting_the_word_out Introducing Project SocialSite- May 4, 2008 As promised, here's some more information about the talk I and my co-speaker Jamey Wood are giving tomorrow at CommunityOne (2:35 PM in Moscone Hall E 135).
