The talk description still mentions microjax, but that&8217;s dead, it&8217;s the Sling client library now. No conceptual changes though, that&8217;s mostly a renaming. I&8217;m working on the Sling JST templates this week, as the ...http://grep.codeconsult.ch/2008/06/17/talking-at-jazoon-zurich-next-week/ code_swarm - open source like youve never seen it before- June 17, 2008 Michael Ogawa has created stunning videos showing animated commit activity for various open source projects. Watching one where you know something about the people and history is fascinating - for me it&8217;s obviously the one about the Apache HTTP server.

The editor reproduces much of Keynote&8217;s lush UI and functionality in a browser, with no apparent performance problems. My two-slide presentation might not be enough to really judge the application&8230;but that&8217;s a start. ...http://grep.codeconsult.ch/2008/06/06/280slidess-editor-best-browser-based-application-ive... On the board- June 5, 2008 The members meeting of the Apache Software Foundation is over, and I&8217;ve had the pleasant surprise of being elected as a member of the board. Thanks very much to Henning for nominating me, and to everybody who put an f in their votes.

Creating those NOTICEs is a pain in a multi-module project like Sling, so considering the lazyness is a virtue principle, I decided yesterday to automate this based on the mvn dependency:resolve output. The resulting mknotice script ...http://grep.codeconsult.ch/2008/06/03/automating-the-generation-of-notice-files/ |
