More travel

The year's nearly done, but there's still a bit more travel left for me to do.

On Thursday this week I'll be at Casa Google for the first London Open Source Jam. There's a bunch of people attending that I'm looking forward to catching up with, and it'll be great to step away from the spreadsheets briefly and do some open source hackery.

Next week I will be in Milan for the Open Source Business Academy (english page), organised by Sourcesense and Sun Microsystems. This looks like being a pretty impressive event (and I'm not just saying that!) - I look forward to hearing "straight from the horse's mouth" about open source Java, and the parallel sessions in the afternoon should be a great opportunity to dig into the issues surrounding business adoption of Open Source.

Finally, my last (in theory) bit of travel for the year will be XML 2006 in Boston (Norman Walsh has iCal files available). While I'm there I'm hoping to do a bit of catch-up on some of the XML stuff that I don't have time to keep an eye on during the day job. The XML Pipeline Processing panel should be of interest too, given my Cocoon background.

Speaking of Cocoon, I'll be running the Hands-on Apache Cocoon tutorial at XML 2006 on Monday 4th December afternoon - I believe there's still a few spaces, so sign up quick to avoid disappointment!
