Reminder of BOF session tonight
I will be leading a Birds Of a Feather session at Qcon tonight at 7:15 in the City room of the Westin hotel in San Francisco.
Attendees will build a simple fault-tolerant, linearly scalable application using OpenSpaces and the GigaSpacesXAP platform.
Attendees will use the projectcreator to assist them in rapidly doing the above work.
I expect you will use either Eclipse version 3.3 europa or intellij as the development env, but as long as you have ant you should be good to go.
You can get the projectcreator.jar here:

If you want to see it in use, you can look at the screencast I made a while back referenced here:

The files used in the video are available here:

See you there!

Freedom to Work and Play
Holy good news Batman!
GigaSpaces is now *free* to use for startups!!!!
No. Really.
This is exciting because you now can get a full XAP license with all the bells and whistles to use forever. (as long as you do not earn more than 5 million dollars)
Everybody that wanted to try this stuff out but was concerned about being chased down by salespeople – have no fear. You can now use it in production for free as long as you are what GigaSpaces considers a startup.
GigaSpaces continues to offer the community edition for free to anyone at all.
Check out the announcement: here
Cheers,
Owen.
