The conference season is slowly getting started again. This is my schedule for the coming three to four months:
JavaZone: one of the biggest Java conference in the world is hosted in Oslo. I’m presenting a session provocatively titled ‘Spring == XML, XML == suck therefore Spring == sucks??’. That should be fun.
Straight after JavaZone I’m flying to Italy for a short weekend in Perloz. From there, I’m flying to Stockholm, to present at the SpringSource Seminar, co-hosted together with Jayway. I’m looking forward to meeting up with some old friends in Stockholm again!
October 8th, we’re hosting a similar SpringSource Seminar in Delft in the Netherlands. I’ll be presenting on the SpringSource Application Platform as well as the Spring Portfolio.
November 11th, we’ll probably be present at the NL-JUG fall gathering, probably hosted in ‘t Spant in Bussum again. I’m not sure if I’ll be presenting. Last time Iwein covered for me, so I might have to cover for him this time 
The week thereafter, I’m in Malmø (if that’s how it’s spelled) for Øredev. I’ll be presenting on AOP there and am looking forward to meeting with Ben Alex again, who supposedly is going to be there too!
Then in the beginning of December I might have to go to Florida (ahhh, what a shame) for our bi-annual developer conference, the USA version this time. No details there yet.
Later in the month, I’ll also be traveling back to Israel (Tel Aviv) once more for JavaEdge, to which I’m really looking forward.
Giving credit where credit is due… I believe is was Craig Walls who came up with the “Spring == XML, XML == suck therefore Spring == sucks??” theme in one of his presentations. I blatantly stole it from him, and I think you stole it from me?
Hey, yes, I did steal it from you. I think the slides actually also mention this :-).
I didn’t know you stole it from Craig Walls though…
