Next week JavaZone, the conference that brought you Lady Java and Java Forever will be held in Norway. To celebrate the opening of the new ForgeRock Norway office, we’ve arranged for a party just before the conference starts, on Tuesday evening. If you are in Oslo and would like to attend, please send an RSVP to the address on the web site.

As part of that, James Gosling and I will be “beaming in” via webcast to give short talks and maybe even answer a few questions. If you’d like to join the webcast (using DimDim), please register on our website.

✈ Join Me At Open World Forum

The conference landscape evolves constantly. Old events pass away, new ones arrive and it’s good to get pointers to know what’s worthwhile. I can recommend this year’s Open World Forum, happening in Paris on September 30 and October 1.It’s a volunteer-run conference for the open source and free software community and covers multiple tracks and events both for business and community interests.

Unusually for such a broad event, admission is completely free of charge and you’ll have the chance to listen to speakers such as James Governor, Eben Moglen, Matt Asay and many more. I’m honoured to be chairing the opening plenary session on September 30th.

With such a  broad and rich agenda and hosted in such an appealing and central location it’s easy to find reasons to attend and hard to see why not. Looking forward to seeing you there!
