Jalapeño 2025The second edition of the Jalapeño unconference was held in Cancun, Mexico September 13-14. The intention by having it this weekend was to get the Mexican Java community to be able to bring their family for the long weekend since September 15 is a holiday in Mexico. This didn’t really turn out as planned, so it was a fairly small group that gathered this year. Nevertheless, the sessions were of high quality and touched on a variety of interesting topics.

What struck me during these trips is that a country lagging behind wealthier, industrialised economies doesn’t mean being left out of technological progress. Quite the opposite. Cutting-edge technologies are very much present. Yet, a closer look reveals a distinctive pattern: gaps in the usual technology adopti...| Eclipse Foundation Staff Blogs

It’s been three years since last time I spoke at JavaZone, so it was very good to be back this year. The usual venue in downtown Oslo is under renovation, so the entire conference had relocated to Lillestrøm.
