was born in Switzerland 1964 and grew up in Liestal. After getting started as a 
software engineer on an IBM S/36 in 1989 I work as Oracle DBA and Oracle Forms 
programmer till I changed to DEC (now Compaq .-( ) in 1995. During my first Web 
application project (VB application with HTML frontend) I bought a book about 
JavaScript but it was about Java (nobody knew then the difference). So I got hooked on 
Java and since then Java became by life. At the beginning of year 2000 I moved Los 
Angeles (near Farmers Market), |enjoy the great weather (sun, sun and sun) and still 
create Java code. </td>

                publish their statistics for you to monitor. Simone Bordet and Juha

                and has the developers community up in arms. The problem of deployment 
                of very large applications (VLAs) is addressed on jboss-dev. No 
                one in the industry knows how to do this. JBoss-dev proves it is 
                a research grade list. 
              <p><b>Application Server Facilities:</b> ASF was needed by the Message 
                Driven Beans and it is now integrated into JMS under the impulse 
                of Hiram Chirino. Work is going on and a final version expected

              A start-up Company ,called &quot;Liquidwit&quot;, selling online 
creativity 
              prefers us over our mammoth competitors. Liquidwit CTO, Caskey sends 
              us a feel good message reporting the successful launch of his website. 
              Runs all on java and jboss for EJB. A large production site is handled 
              by jboss in BETA-PROD. We are very proud and it is always good to 
              hear successes since we are so much into the code we tend to believe 
              we do crap :) so we like when people send us 
&quot;amazing-work-guys&quot; 
              messages as we continue working down here in the mine. Thanks for 
              the buzz. 
              <p><b>OpenJODA</b>: XO3 bundles jboss in their application server 
                and target the Fortune 1000 companies. They kick off with a $50k 
                contest of development on a framework with tomcat+jboss. Distribution 
                of jboss increases.</p>

                effort. We are putting all the available documentation under one 
                framework. The user manual will be final stone as we reach FINAL</p>
              <p><b>FINAL:&nbsp;</b> Marc Fleury announces that the date for the 
                FINAL&nbsp;version will be October 31st. Rickard and Marc take a 
                first pass a the design of a clustering solution for jboss based 
                on JINI. It looks simple enough that we will deliver it for FINAL. 
                The Production quality for jboss means clustering and we will do 
                it, by popular demand! &nbsp;There are also a few outstanding issues 
                we want to adress before the FINAL&nbsp;jboss2.0 release. A biggy 
                we want to do in the coming weeks is the IN-VM integration of Tomcat 
                so that we can offer a full stack of j2ee apis in VM (read speedy).
