Until now I have been posting my GigaSpaces related blogs on our company blog where I shared my thoughts about distributed computing architecture in general and specifically Space Based Architecture.
We've decided to change the role of the GigaSpaces corporate blog from a place that hosts just my thoughts to a central channel that aggregates different thoughts of different individuals both from within GigaSpaces and outside of it. This will include a distinguished list of bloggers listed below. We're also going to use the GigaSpaces blog for various updates on product releases, events and other stuff.
So this is my new blogging home from now on. It will serve as a platform from which I can share my thoughts about technology in general as well as things that we're doing specifically at GigaSpaces.
Much of the GigaSpaces product evolution is a result of dialog with our customers, as well as the community at large. During the past few months I've had many discussions with various folks who are active in the developer community, such as John Davies, who was the first to introduce me to Spring, as well as Rod Johnson from Interface21 and Ross Mason from MuleSource. These discussions have been extremely helpful in shaping up many of my ideas on how GigaSpaces can fit with the various industry trends. In recent years I have also had the honor of working closely with Andy Doddington and Yuri Schimke from Bank of America, who have been particularly proactive about their work with GigaSpaces and its integration with Spring, you can learn more about that project here. Frank Greco has been a great supporter of Jini and JavaSpaces for years, and has helped a great deal in educating the market on the technology and how it could fit as an SOA platform in the financial world. This is just a partial list of the many great supporters who have influenced GigaSpaces' roadmap.
My hope for this blog is to continue this level of dialog with a broad group of thought leaders in the community. I'm hoping that it will evolve as a platform for generating constructive dialog, some of which will probably find its way in the solution we will be providing.
Oh, and as promised - below is the list of the GigaSpaces bloggers who will be now covered in the GigaSpaces blog.
