Welcome David Dawson to the "Blogosphere"
Having enjoyed many an extended (sometimes inebriated) chat over details ranging from whether Scrum Masters need technical skills to why open source tyrannies suck with David Dawson (dev practices guru at OpenCredo), I have great pleasure in now being able to subject others to these verbal barrages (they're a good thing, honest!) at David's new blog.
It's about time! But then again, good things come to those who wait; even those who had no idea they were waiting in the first place.

Will wonders never cease!?
Limping into the new century, David is now on twitter as davidthecoder! Well worth a follow, and not just from the creepy-stalker aspect of the whole affair.

And now Laura Paterson, OpenCredo's Agile Coaching guru, has taken the twitter plunge! Must be something in the water... Of course, Laura's not so headstrong and is gathering herself for her insights with no posts yet. Must be a too-cool-for-school thing, her blog has the same kudos (for now!).
But seriously, very nice to see some of my most respected colleagues starting to share their knowledge further - it's all good!

Lightning talks from CloudCamp at QCon now available
My '1 hour talk in 5 minutes' compression effort is now available online along with the other CloudCamp talks from last week's QCon London:
- Intro by Simon Wardley
- "Enabling Choice, Enabling the Market", by yours truly
- "Cloud Computing" by Geir Magnusson
- "Energy, carbon and clouds" by Joe Baguley
- "SaaS, an unintended casualty of the copyfight" by Chris Swan
The night ended with a "death match", actually more of a light growling, between the lightning talk speakers and with special guest, Chris Richardson from SpringSource, a division of VMware.
The evening was a blast and a great end to my cloud track day at QCon.
Part 1 of Jonas Partner's series on OpenCredo Esper extension project
My colleague Jonas Partner has just published the first article in a series that is going to provide a walk through the new OpenCredo Esper extension project.
For anyone interested in what this project brings to the event-based-architecture table, Jonas' series is a great place to start.
Azure pricing and what this means for the cloud market, explained on InfoQ
My first article for InfoQ was published earlier today. In this article I summarise an interview with Matt Deacon of Microsoft on Windows Azure's entry into the priced, public cloud market.
This is a real rite-of-passage for the Azure PaaS and I attempt to frame what this means within the context of the emerging cloud utility market.
OpenCredo Esper is Go!
I have the huge pleasure today of announcing the public availability of the open source OpenCredo Esper project, which has today hit its 1.0 release. From Jonas Partner's (O/C Esper project lead) release notes:
The OpenCredo Esper project builds on top of the excellent Complex Event Stream processing project, Esper. The OpenCredo Esper project is primarily motivated by a desire to make using Esper easier within messaging applications built on Spring Integration.
Using Esper to provide views of the data/messages passing through a system is an excellent way to improve the comprehension of complex event driven/asynchronous messaging based applications in Spring Integration.
In order to implement the Spring Integration integrations, the OpenCredo Esper project also created a Spring-style template which makes calling Esper extremely simple regardless of whether the application is using Spring Integration.
I had a hand in the early development of this project and it's great to see it joining the OpenCredo AMQ project in our open source ranks.
Look for a follow-up post where I'll show how to use OpenCredo Esper to implement a simple Throughput Monitor to some Spring Integration-based messaging infrastructure.
