The first two days of EclipseCon are over and it has been a great experience for the whole team so far. We’ve met a bunch of amazing people and the interest in SOPERA and Swordfish in particular was very encouraging. Thanks to everyone who was attending my talk on Swordfish today… I’d never thought that it would attract so many people!

Only a few hours to go and we’re off to Santa Clara, California, for EclipseCon 2008!
It’s going to be a big thing for SOPERA this year:

• On Monday, 10:30, Jerry Preissler is holding a tutorial on policy handling with Eclipse STP, together with David Bosschaert of IONA Technologies. Don’t miss it if you’re interested in advanced SOA concepts!
• SOPERA’s CTO, Ricco Deutscher, is going to talk about why Deutsche Post decided to go open source in his long talk on tuesday at 11:10. If you care about the business side of open source, this is for you!
• Yours truly is going to talk about — you guessed it — Swordfish on Tuesday right after lunch at 13:30.
• And finally it’s Jerry again: at 14:30 he is doing a talk on an integrated approach to SOA tooling for ServiceMix and other platforms. If you’re a ServiceMix user, go ahead and watch it!

Above all that, we’re a gold sponsor and have a booth in the exhibit area. So if you want a nice green backpack, just come by and talk to the friendly people in the black T-Shirts.

See you in Santa Clara!
