Day One Recap:

Attended a nice reception with beer and wine provided by the event sponsors. There were some nice cheeses and fruits and a whole mess of SpringSource employees wearing their yellow SpringSource shirts (I would like one). I got a great event t-shirt, an event binder and a USB drive with all the presentation material.

The venue, The Roosevelt Hotel New Orleans, LA is incredible. SpringSource/NFJS did a great job on getting an incredible hotel for the event.

Dinner was great. Salad, pasta, Cajun shrimp and jambalaya with a red velvet cupcake for dessert.

During the keynote, speaker Rod Johnson discussed where Spring has been and where Spring is headed. He stressed SpringSource’s goals of developer oriented simplicity and the support of the community. Rod then gave the floor to Spring project leads (Jeremey Grelle, Mark Fisher, Graeme Rocher and Jon Travis?) to demo Flex, Spring BlazeDS and Spring Integration, Grails with Spring Tools Suite and Spring Insight. Spring Insight looks incredible!
