JavaOne officially starts tomorrow but today Sun has kicked off CommunityOne. Which is a more open source focused and free conference that precedes the bigger event.

The main theme this year is cloud computing. The presentation today has been about showing several vendor solutions in the areas of virtualization and large scale application deployment that is very easy to use (and graphical). To be completely honest, I think “cloud computing” is a big buzzword approaching marketroid levels, but there is some interesting technology here. I’ll be attending a few cloud computing sessions to see if I become one of the converted.

Currently, we’re listening to some of the folks from OpenSolaris and JavaFX in a setup that seems like a nerd version of David Letterman from an alternate reality.

BTW we got a small announcement that JavaFX is now officially released for OpenSolaris. Although I’m not sure there’s a large community of OpenSolaris users looking forward to that :-)
