Blogging RollerDave Johnson on blogging, open source and JavaRoller and SocialSite at Open Source Days 2008- August 18, 2008 I'm happy to report that I'll be traveling to Copenhagen, Denmark to talk about Roller and Project SocialSite at the Open Source Days 2008 conference on Oct. 3-4 this year. I'm going to tell the story of Roller and lessons learned along the way and then talk about blogging in the age of social networks and how to social-enable Roller with the SocialSite widgets. The session is called titled The once and future Roller.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/roller_at_open_source_days Roller status- August 18, 2008 If you want the lowdown on what's going on with Roller community health, ongoing work and upcoming releases then check out the Apache Roller August 2008 Board Report.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/roller_status3 Red Sox vs. Rangers- August 14, 2008 I'm not a fan of sports that require balls, but I had a great time at the Red Sox game Tuesday night.

All thanks to my buddy and co-worker with the season tickets (and a serious case of Red Soxoholism) Bobby Bissett. Thanks Bobby!http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/red_sox_vs_rangers re: How the Shindig REST API works- August 11, 2008 Here's a diagram I worked up over the weekend to explain Shindig REST API internals to my team mates.

Another goal should be clean, book-markable URLs that only carry path-info and ...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/restful_jsf_in_the_works Project SocialSite opens up!- August 8, 2008 My teammates and I have started a new blog over at blogs.sun.com to cover Project SocialSite and to break the big news: we're open!

It's my son Alex (11), using Wayne Sutton's cell-phone to stream video of me giving the opening intro: Alex really enjoyed helping out and he attended sessions on his own including iPhone development and file system encryption, and he got to play werewolf for the first time.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/barcamp_fun_for_the_whole |
