2010 : What I did !

This funny blog is just about to recall me what I was able to do.

I made a return to the source in Brazzaville, Congo



I host JCertif 2010 the biggest Java Community Conference in Central Africa. About 400 attendees. This was far from a “classic” event! It was a mix of technical session, life experience and a bit of an adventure. About 400 people from 6 countries (Congo Brazzaville, Congo Kinshasa, Togo, France, Canada and USA) attended the conference and classes.




I gave free Java courses and workshop. Really great !


and I came back to Quebec City (Canada)


I attended JavaOne and Oracle Develop in San Francisco




and I came back at home in Quebec City (Canada)


I went back to Boston enjoy the long-due weekend with my beautiful wife and visiting MIT and Harvard University



few days after Boston, Chrisbel and I attended Devoxx in Antwerp, Belgium. Very great Java community conference !


I got back to Quebec City to gave a talk on the future of Java under Oracle at «Le mois de la technologie» at Fujitsu Canada office of Quebec

À suivre...NEXT YEAR

JUG-AFRICA Open Source Project to manage community annual events

The application will provide all services bellow via the REST Web services :

- Etc...

The code source is available for free on google code. https://code.google.com/p/projet-jcertif-2011/
The current presentation layer is based on Vaadin but anayonve can propose his own UI client.

20+ dev across Africa are working on this app. I will write a post in this blog to provide more details.
