TAC (The Actionscript Conference) on October, 19th 2008

Singapore will have this event: "The Actionscript Conference (TAC) 2008".
Information could be found in this website.

I'm planning to attend this conference, but still need to checkout my schedule.

This event is organized by Singapore Flex User Group (FUG), and sponsored by FDT.

Sun Developers Day 2008 at Singapore

Today I attended the Sun Developers' Day. My office is not in the habit of sending people to such events, so I have to be a proactive person, take a one day leave to attend this event.

"Sun Developer Day 2008 brings together visionaries, leading experts and developers to seize the next wave of technical innovation through Open Source".

Trends that were presented are in the topics of JavaFX, MySQL, OpenSolaris.

This is my first time attending Sun Developers' Day. There were Sun Developers' Day events in Jakarta, but I didn't manage to have time to attend one of them. 

Some thing that interest me are: JavaFX, VirtualBox, new OpenSolaris eye candy, MySQL tuning, and Solaris DTrace, JDK 6 update 10, Grails.

Matt Thompson, manager of the Sun Technology Evangelist group,  gave an opening message. 

Among the speakers were:

Chuk-Munn Lee, Senior Developer Consultant and Technology Evangelist for Technology Outreach at Sun Microsystems in Singapore.

Joey Shen (Zhuo-Li, Chinese), Technology Evangelist for Sun Microsystems based in Beijing, China.

Peter Karlsson, Solaris Technology Evangelist for Sun Microsystems. 

Raghavan Srinivas, CTO of Technology Evangelism at Sun Microsystems.

This even also intertwinned with JavaJive competition final between universities from Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Previously local competitions have been held in their respective countries. The final presentation brought was won by team from Thailand.

Intalio Training in Singapore

Today, Arnaud mailed me about the incoming Intalio training soon (2 days from now!) in Singapore.

This is the link for the training:

I must look for other opportunity, because the date is too close for me. The training must take 2 days and need to apply leaves in advance.

Two days ago I attended the cocktail party of Intalio - Liferay Join Event.
I browsed back and just realized that Joshua Jackson from JUG Indonesia mentioned about it one month ago. They have presence here in Singapore, and entering Indonesian market.
It was lively cocktail, nice talk, great food, extraordinary people there.

Great to meet these people in person: Michael Han and Sang Baek, Arnaud Bladin and Ismael Ghalimi.

So sad, we didn't go into a point for technical aspects of integrating the Intalio business process management into Liferay. But they did the work very well to convince me that they are a good company with excellent products.

Quite astounishing there, I met a bunch of fellow Indonesians who have been working with Liferay!
