Already 2 Quarters in APAC/Japan

This week JBoss will close its 2nd FY10 Quarter here in Asia Pacific / Japan. The Opensource wave is growing stronger daya by day in this region and no wonder why I haven’t been blogging . I have been busy meeting with the community, our partners, customers accross India, Japan, Australia, China, Korea and Singapore.

Well, I can’t resist any longer, there are too many cool stuff happening at JBoss to keep it quiet. I will be flying to JBoss World, Chicago next week and will blog about what’s new and exciting.

If you missed us or couldn’t attend our booth at Java One, you can visit the booth presentation here.

Before I go, I’d like to mention some important new projects:

• Gert Franz and the Railo Team releaseed the Open Source version of Railo, the fastest CFML OSS engine
• Tim Fox and the messaging team’s new project HornetQ a multi-protocol, embeddable, very high performance, clustered, asynchronous messaging system.
• Trustin Lee and the remoting team released JBoss Netty 3.1.0 which is used by HornetQ  for the low level socket IO.
• Manik Surtani released Infinispan is a highly scalable platform for distributed data grids in Java.

See you next week.
