Feed Description: A simple waste of time and weblog experiment
Erin (who I wish would start a blog) just told me that registrations
for the Philly Emerging
Technology conference (happening tomorrow) have topped 240. This
is up from around 110 last year. Not too shabby! As it is free,
I am sure some people registered who won't show, but... wow, not
bad.
It's basically focused on open source tools which are "emerging" in
the sense of new tools, or technologies which are just starting to
see light in the traditional enterprise space, not to be confused
with O'Reilly's ETech which tries to capture things really just
emerging.
She also noticed that (accidentally) the schedule
is almost neatly divided into two tracks, lightweight tools and
heavyweight tools, except for that JSF thing that managed to sneak
into the light track ;-)
