Re: [Springframework-developer] Cameron's "Live" Feed from TSS Symposium

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

I don't know why Cameron makes this comment about 0.9. (I had a few good
chats with him--it was good to meet. But we didn't discuss Spring).

I don't think his blog is a good representation of the whole event. For
example, the Saturday night panel discussion (in which I participated along
with Jon Crupi, Cedric Buest, Randy Heffner, Rick Ross and Jim Knutson from
IBM) was very very interesting. Unfortunately it was outside and some of the
audience, including Cameron, fled the ravenous and uncountable mosquitoes.
This was supposed to be the centrepiece of the event, and it's hard to take
seriously a report that doesn't even mention it.

Unfortunately Cameron only caught one of my three talks at TSS Symposium and
didn't pick up a consistent message regarding Spring, which came out across
my talks. A LOT of people attended all three. I'm tempted to email him about
that flippant comment but it might seem paranoid. If one of you guys were to
do it it might be better :-) To prove there's a community, that we have
focus and multiple developers and we aren't going to be 0.9x forever like
Castor. (Or 1.1 forever like Struts for that matter.) I don't know if his
blog has comments.

TSS Symposium was VERY VERY good for Spring. Some of the people who asked me
and Juergen questions about it and were really interested include:
- Floyd
- David Hearst (Middleware Company trainer)--I showed him some Spring app
code after one of my sessions and he seemed to like it
- Gavin from Hibernate (yes they will host links--Juergen spent a lot of
time in conversation with Gavin)
- other open source guys like WebWork developers
- lots of attendees who asked me about Spring releases, and obviously are
really keen to use this. (Some attendees are currently using the original
book code.)

Hopefully other blogs/reports on TSS will give a truer picture of the
overall event than Cameron's. One person can't be everywhere, and there were
up to 4 parallel sessions.

I did a tech talk that mentioned Spring. It will be on TSS in the next few
months. Also some of the other content will probably be on TSS--panel etc.

There was a lot of interest in my book, as well--it was nice to see it back
in print! I did 40-50 signed copies, and wrote www.springframework.org in
most of them!

Regards,
Rod
