Earlier last week, my team and I attended the thinkproject! group technology summit. Taking place in Berlin during November 13 to 15, this event focussed on getting technical teams throughout the whole group together, getting people to know each other and helping strong teams getting started building great products together in a collaborative way.

GNOME: 18 and moving
Well, what do you know: The GNOME Unix desktop project is about to celebrate its 18th ‘birthday’, anniversary, … by tomorrow, August 15, 2015. I guess there’s more interesting news these days, and I also just noticed while incidentially stumbling across the GNOME web site earlier this morning…
Zweieinhalb mal zehn.
Zweieinhalb Jahrzehnte… Eine der großen runden Zahlen, die das ganze Jahr schon dominiert. Und dazu Bilder, Momentaufnahmen, Videos. Kerzen und Menschen auf der Straße. Ein überfüllter Botschaftsgarten. Züge von Prag über Dresden gen Westen. Menschen, die auf der Mauer tanzen und dies Wochen zuvor vermutlich noch nicht zu ahnen gewagt hätten. Vermutlich sind wir, die
Jetty, Micro Services and re-shaping things.
Last week, the Java part of our system went productive after a major runtime update – and it did so not on top of the Glassfish application server we’ve been using so far but rather re-structured into multiple modules embedding a current version of Eclipse Jetty. This is a fairly large change and quite a
instagram on Android. And now?
So, here it is. After being highly anticipated for quite a while, the instagram folks a few days ago finally launched an Android version of their imaging / photosharing app so far only available for Apples iOS platform. As I am pretty much into using my Android phone for imaging, too, I couldn’t help having
a better mousetrap #4: integrating on top of CouchDB
I’ve recently been writing about Apache CouchDB and its various features of interest in our environment, and I will continue doing so as, after working with this platform, I came across a bunch of thoughts I quickly felt like pinning down, either in order to remember them, or in order to eventually have some discussion
a better mousetrap #2: RESTing HATEOAS
Eventually a rather short thought relating to my attempt trying to, well, build a better mouse trap. Maybe in course of exploring things and slowly growing a technical environment into something new, there’s always the chance of discovering a show-stopper to immediately prove a given approach limited or even wrong altogether, but at the moment,
a clueless start to node.js
node.js is a technology that has been on my “to-try” stack of technologies for quite a while now. There has been quite some fuzz out there recently regarding this framework, and as so far I wanted to have a closer look on what’s possible in JavaScript outside the browser, anyway, it seemed a good reason
modeling, technologies and culture
Looking back at yesterdays Dresden Eclipse Indigo demo camp, I ended up with a couple of thoughts in my mind, both related to the technologies demonstrated there, and related to how to make meaningful use of them in a real-world environment. Overally, this demo camp event mainly was dominated by topics related to modeling tools
