Cejug-Classifieds got a 2nd place at InfoBrasil Conference

InfoBrasil - TI & Telecom

InfoBrasil is the second biggest Information Technology fair in Brazil, with main focus on business opportunities and industry networking. In 2009 the event is celebrating its 15th edition with a special program and the participation of entrepreneurs, academic researchers and students. InfoBrasil also includes a technology congress with prizes to the best papers. Cejug-Classifieds got the second place on this competition.

Cejug-Classifieds - the second place of InfoBrasil 2009

Cejug-Classifieds is a java.net project to develop an open source classifieds system based on SOAP web-services. The winner paper during InfoBrasil described the business model and the technical details of the project. Since I am in California, the paper was presented by Árisson Leal, one of the collaborators of the project. Árisson did the JSF GUI of our prototype and now he bring us the second place with a good presence on the InfoBrasil stage. The three best papers will also be published in a special issue of the conference magazine (only in Portuguese).

Last but not the least: THANKS for all project collaborators and all people that gave us hints and collaborated with the code of the Cejug-Classifieds Project. And a special thanks to java.net for hosting my projects for free, it is common nowadays but it wasn't when I started all my projects there - I will be always thankful for that. I guess I will drink a beer or two during the after dark party of JavaOne to celebrate the second place of my paper :)
