CamelOne and Scala eXchange were awesome!

Its been a busy few weeks lately! 3 weeks ago we had CamelOne which was a really great conference; one of the best I've been to for a while. Great talks & conversations - loads of energy around the Apache Camel community. I'm already looking forward to the next one! We should have the various presentations from it online.

I got the chance to demo the new beta of Fuse IDE which is coming out soon; its packed with some really awesome features for working with ActiveMQ, Camel and ServiceMix. We're hard at work getting that ready...

Then yesterday I had the pleasure of giving the day 2 keynote at Scala eXchange in London. I had heaps of fun, met loads of the Scala folks I've only met online before (including Martin, finally!) & even managed to get a few laughs in my talk (mostly at JSPs expense I think :). It was a very similar conference to CamelOne in many ways; heaps of fun, loads of energy & passion around and lots of fun was had by all.

My keynote was on the Scalate template engine; there's details here or go straight to the slides or video. The samples I used in the talk are in github.

CamelOne, Fuse IDE, Fuse Fabric, oh my...

I've been way too busy to blog for a while; will try to do better going forward.

A little while ago we released the GA version of Fuse IDE; folks seem to really like it. If you use Apache Camel I highly recommend you try it out - also check out Jon's recent article on it.

Since then we've been working hard on a bunch of cool new features for it; we'll be releasing the 1.2 beta next month & its gonna rock even more :). I'm hoping to demo some of the newer features of Fuse IDE in my keynote at next weeks CamelOne conference.

In parallel we've been working hard on Fuse Fabric, open source software for weaving your application containers into an easy to configure, provision and manage system. Have a browse of the user guide if you want to know more.

Hopefully see you in Washington DC at CamelOne next week?
