A small combined post about a couple of interesting events.

The first is already behind us. Last Tuesday we released Spring 2.0 and thanks to all the hard work of Juergen, Rob, Rick and many others, we have seen a lot of enthusiasm around this release already. Rod mentioned on his blog a couple of hours ago the release was downloaded more than 10.000 times already! This is pretty amazing!

Next Wednesday, the bi-annual NL-JUG conference will be held again. At this event, Adrian Colyer will deliver a keynote about the vocabulary of enterprise applications. He’ll probably touch on Spring 2.0 too, so if you’re interested please drop by! He’s going to talk about AspectJ too by the way. There are several other I21 people present at the conference too, so it should be fun!

On to the next big event: the release of Spring Web Flow. Keith noted at TheServerSide that 1.0 version of Spring Web Flow will most likely be released somewhere in the next two weeks as well. So October is proving to be a pretty interesting month.
