This will be a Java open-source talk at the WUG that will be very relevant
to anyone interested in Java open-source application servers.
The speaker is from IBM, but works mainly, if not entirely, on Apache
Geronimo itself.
With its Apache sponsorship, Geronimo is likely to have a very major role
rivaling JBoss and Orion. That's what the blogs say.
We get a lot of JUG member attendees at the WUG, and that happenstance
allows us to put on meetings like this, on topics that are not very
IBM-related . and still count on a good turnout.
So JUG members are especially invited to come on out Tuesday - the meeting
and refreshments are free!

Main Talk
The aim of the Apache Geronimo project is to produce a large and healthy
community of J2EE developers tasked with the development of an
open-source, certified J2EE server that is licensed under the Apache
License, passes Sun's TCK for J2EE 1.4, and reuses the best ASF/BSD
licensed code available today, with new ASF code to complete the J2EE stack.
Geronimo has passed the J2EE TCK 1.4.1a test suite, and formal
certification is expected in a few weeks.
A number of IBM staff members are contributors to Geronimo, and IBM has
donated code, including an Administrative console. IBM's GlueCode also
includes Geronimo in their product.
The meeting is FREE to ALL - NO RSVP OR RESERVATION IS NEEDED (however,
citizens of China-PRC, Hong Kong, and Macao are asked to email us ahead of
time as described at the end for Building Security registration).
Matt will cover
- Why Geronimo?
- IBM's Philosophy on Open-Source and Geronimo
- Tools for Geronimo Deployment
- A light Demo
- IBM Directions
and answer questions.

Directions to the Meeting
Distance from Raleigh (17 miles) / Durham (8 miles) / Chapel Hill (12 miles)
From I-40, take Exit 280 - Davis Drive. At the end of the exit ramp, take
a right (North) onto Davis Drive. Continue straight on Davis Drive for
about 0.5 miles. Take a right on Cornwallis road. Go about 1/2 mile, you
will cross over railroad tracks. At the IBM gate keep to the right.
If the rightmost gate is down, press on the intercom button and tell the
remote guard that you are attending the WebSphere User Group meeting, and
give him your name. He will open the gate for you. Go through gate, follow
the road around past the first Tivoli Building, looking for signs leading
to Building 500 or "Software Group." Our IBM host is Greg Ackerman - they
may ask for his name.
Go through gate, follow the road around past the first Tivoli Building,
looking for signs leading to Building 500 or "Software Group." It should
be the third road on the left. It can be a little tricky, so please allow
some extra time the first time.
It can be a little tricky, so please allow some extra time the first time.
You will see a visitors' parking lot. Turn in and park, and walk to the
Building 500 lobby.
Be careful not to go too far (the second Tivoli building is too far) or
you will find yourself on a one-way exit ramp and have to drive back around.
See http://www.rtpwug.org/sitemap.pdf for a map for this location.
IBM Security now requires names and birthdates for non-US citizens. For
most nationalities, IBM will just ask for that information when you arrive
at the event. However, requests for badges for citizens of China (PRC),
Hong Kong, and Macao (only) are best made in advance. Citizens of those
countries (only) are asked to email name and date of birth ahead of time
to Greg Ackerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] . We apologize for this requirement.
