Spring Experience 2005 Kicks Off

Posted on December 8th, 2005 in General, Spring.

I’m here in North Miami for the Spring Experience 2005, which kicked off last night with a dinner followed by a keynote talk, during which Spring 2.0 M1 was announced. The room was packed, at around 270+ people. It was incredibly gratifying to look around at that room full of Spring enthusiasts and think about how far Spring has come in so little time.

All core Spring developers have been here since Sunday, and it’s been an intense 3 days of meetings and preparations for the conference and the new release. I remember during one session in which Rod Johnson, Rob Harrop, Juergen Hoeller and Adrian Colyer were all sitting at a little table intensely hacking on the same (AOP & XML config) code to get it ready you could almost feel the heat coming off that area. It was all worth it though as the Spring 2.0 featureset, announced during the keynote, is incredibly compelling.
