Sonya Barry's BlogBoy do my feet hurt.Posted by sonyabarry on May 18, 2006 at 01:18 PM | Comments (0)Long time no write. I wrapped up my last final project for the semester on Thursday, took Friday off, and immediately launched into the JavaOne festivities on Saturday morning with the Community Leaders weekend. Saturday was great - it was nice to finally meet a bunch of the people I've been working with for the last few months, plus quite a few more I look forward to working with over the next year. On Tuesday I worked the java.net booth at JavaOne for a couple of hours. I would have stayed longer, but I wore the wrong shoes. Rookie mistake. The mini-talks were happening right behind me, and a lot of them were quite interesting. I'm looking forward to catching them in their entirety in the podcasts at some point in the next couple of weeks. Wednesday I skipped the conference because I had a couple of classes to teach, but met up with a few of the Mifos people for dinner. Four hours and a very strange drink involving gin and cucumbers later, I felt I'd made some new friends and am even more excited about working on the project. In general Mifos news, the bug import seems to have gone off without a hitch. A couple of weeks ago Eric and I split the list down the middle and spent some time moving them over to java.net's issue tracker one by one. Maybe some day I'll get around to writing a tool to automate that process, because Mifos cannot be the first project that needed to make that switch. This time the time required to do it was small enough that the brute force method was the way to go. Somewhere in there I got promoted to project owner. I don't know if that will stick forever, but it's nice to be trusted with some responsibility. It's an example of something I'm finding that I really like about the open source community - people who step up and do things get responsibilities quickly, and everybody is really great to work with. I like that a lot. Next up for Mifos is the great CVS to SVN switch. It should be interesting. -------------------- Now I'm back in the java.net booth, enjoying the relative quiet of the couches, and trying to decide what to do about lunch.
