JBUG is Back! June Event - JBoss 7

Please note that this event is organised by C2B2 who are handling the attendance - please follow the link to complete your registration: http://www.c2b2.co.uk/jbug

JBUG is back and to kick off the new user group we have lined up Dr Mark Little who heads up Middleware Engineering for Red Hat to share his vision of JBoss Everywhere. Mark will discuss and demonstrate Red Hat’s vision for how JBoss Enterprise Middleware will drive social, mobile, and cloud computing. This is a huge opportunity for the JBoss user community to hear where JBoss is going in the future.

To continue in this theme we also have Matt Brasier, a hugely respected JBoss consultant who will delve into the new architecture coming with JBoss 7 and the new capabilities we should expect.

We are also opening up the floor to anyone using JBoss who has a tale to share. We are looking for a number of lightning talks 5 – 15 minutes in length where you can share your experiences, problems or wonderful solutions with the rest of the community. This is a huge opportunity to develop new or hone existing speaking skills.
