Toni Epple's Blog

I’m still alive although I’m not blogging much recently. It’s just because there’s so much happening in the NetBeans Universe. Thanks a lot to everyone voting for me as a member of the NetBeans Governance Board! If you happen to be in munich, visit me in my new office (Bergmannstr. 66) for the party in December (exact date has to be decided). Just came back from Devoxx on saturday where I had a great time hanging out with Geertjan, Aaron “This is” Houston, Sven Reimers, Florian Vogler and Martin Klähn. Geertjan and my session on Lookup and OSGi was nice (here’s a picture) and I met a lot of OSGi fans. It’s not so different from the NB Module system after all (but we were there first ). Also learned about Apache Ace. This is really cool technology, there’s never enough ways to deploy NetBeans Modules! On sunday I left for Berne (maybe you’ll hear more from NetBeans & Berne soon). Didn’t see much of the city yet, though the Airport is great. They’ve got the shortest luggage carrousel in the world. This is how the police officers look here:

On Thursday I’ll be in Zurich. Geertjan has decided spontaneously that he will join me there for a talk at the JUG Switzerland. We’ll meet on thursday and decide what we’ll show. If you’re anywhere near you should come. I’m really looking forward to be in Zurich again, good food and lot’s of nice people.
