The engineering work that > Gaul and the team from Maginatics have done around the BlobStore portable API > in jclouds is impressive. > + > +At [1:09 of the meetup](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nuON0zGVJI&t=69m0s) > we made a toast to Ignasi Barrera for his work in kicking off the jclouds > website redesign. Thanks Ignassi! And thanks to everyone who helped make it a > reality! > + > +## Discussion > + > +Then we had a good talk about the future of jclouds. A few interesting > points came out of the discussion. > + > +1. It's time to seriously considering dropping support for Java 6. Java 6 is > officialy end-of-life and has been a security bug ridden mess for Java. It's > time to move on. We agreed on a rough plan of action to move forward.
