Re: Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon US 2008 and Google Summer Of Code 2008
Great! Thanks, Jacek. Catharine has also expressed interest, perhaps in designing more video tutorials like the ones I made last autumn. I think these would be a benefit to the project, too, so encouraged her to apply for it as well. Sorry for the confusion.

That's me, man. I sent in the application, and would love to help out more. The last two months have seen me buried in homework and learning my new job, plus re-building a unit and metric conversion and representation system that can jive with JPA (JScience didn't fit the bill so it had to go). So, this summer would be a GREAT time to work on OpenEJB stuff, like bigger, better tutorials that are integrated with example applications. Anyway, the application is in. Hopefully you find it and pick me up. Cheers, all. -- Alex On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 7:02 AM, Jacek Laskowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 9:22 AM, David Blevins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Last time I sent a similar note a slightly younger Jacek Laskowski > > volunteered and wrote an article on OpenEJB/Tomcat which we got > > published on O'Reilly's onjava.com.

Just a couple of sentences that out of a sudden became an article. I enjoyed it very much. I remember it was my first exposure and couldn't believe I was an author published on O'Reilly. Thanks Dave. It was you who made that happen. On that note, I thought about Google Summer of Code 2008 and OpenEJB. I think it'd help us a lot if we could invite a student who'd learn *us* what it is to start from scratch to learn EJB and OpenEJB. I'm thinking about OSGi and OpenEJB. There is not much to do in this area, but definitely worth to look at as it might turn out to be a way to follow in the future. Shall I write an abstract for GSoC?

I definitely plan to submit a proposal. On that note I've often had the thought if anyone else out there would like to spread the word, I'm more then happy to help. Sent a note about that. Last time I sent a similar note a slightly younger Jacek Laskowski volunteered and wrote an article on OpenEJB/Tomcat which we got published on O'Reilly's onjava.com.
