Collaboration Summit & Cherokee Summit

It's been a little over two weeks since the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit took place. As always, it was a pretty interesting event well worth attending.

The content of the summit was enlightening in so many ways. First because of the quality of the speakers. Not all the events have so many recognizable and highly involved speakers as the Collaboration Summit, and that is a huge plus for the event. Secondly, because of the propitious environment to meet people. I got to meet a whole of lot of people during the three days of the conference, and of course to greet many old friends.

Nice talk with Daniel Frye (Vice President, Open Systems Development at IBM)

So, having said that, it is time to look to the future and more specially the upcoming events and challenges. The first one will be the long-awaited Cherokee Summit 2010. I have no words to describe how excited I'm about this event. It will be the first users and developers conference around the Cherokee Project ever!

So far, there are around 80 registered attendees, so it will be a fairly modest conference. However, it represents an important milestone for the Cherokee project: we will be releasing Cherokee 1.0, and most importantly, it will mobilize a crowd of experts on High Performance and Scalable web around Cherokee. In fact, it will take advantage of the conjuncture, and we have scheduled an open session to discuss the Cherokee 2.0 roadmap.

Cherokee Summit will also be the perfect opportunity to engage conversation about the local communities. So far the Polish, German, Chinese and Hispanic Cherokee communities have popped up. However, there is no coordination between them and the main project, and that's something I think we ought to improve from now on. That will be the topic of the open session of the second day.

All in all, it will have plenty of interesting attendees, talks, chats, giveaways, etc. :-) There are still a few empty spaces, so do not hesitate to register if you'd like to attend!
