I presented on GlassFish at Utah JUG yesterday, slides are available. The topic provided insight into GlassFish v2, the current production version, and GlassFish v3 – the upcoming modular, embeddable & extensible version. The slides have data on leading adoption indicators on how GlassFish momentum. There were close to 100 attendees and the list of sponsors is certainly impressive 
Here are the list of demos:
- GlassFish v2
- GlassFish v2 Web services Development & Deployment
- GlassFish on Eclipse Ganymede
- Getting Started with GlassFish in IntelliJ
- GlassFish v3
There are very few developer meets where I’ve not met a Hudson (Extensible continuous integration engine) user. I had good conversation with some folks about some of the missing pieces around Hudson and will follow up with Kohsuke on that. I also got to meet Manfried Riem – the local Java Champion. And it was great to know that Allen Day (one of the UJUG board members) is already a GlassFish evangelist – see the first picture with GlassFish sticker on his laptop
