GlassFish @ JavaMUG - Trip Report

Presented on GlassFish
at Java
MUG last week. The event is hosted at href="http://sun.com">Sun's North Dallas Office.
It was impressive to know that local Sun team is hosting 4 User Groups ( href="http://mysql.meetup.com/167/">MySQL, href="http://www.dfwuug.org/wiki">Solaris, and href="http://opensolaris.org/os/project/dfw-osug/">OpenSolaris
other than the JUG) in a month.



The evening started around 6pm when the attendees started showing up
for socializing over Pizza and Soda. The JUG started with a brief
introduction by Eric Weibust - the JUG leader. The community leaders
from Spring User
Group, Dallas
Rules Group, and SOA
Users Group then gave an update in their user groups.



After the sponsor's
pitch, I explained What/Why/How of GlassFish. The slides are available href="http://mediacast.sun.com/users/ArunGupta/media/glassfish-javamug-nov08.pdf/details">here.
It was pretty exciting when 100% of attendees have heard about
GlassFish. A few of them are using it for development as well and now
we need to work on getting some production deployments there :)
