Welcome to issue number three hundred and sixteen of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
The conference speaking season is starting up again. My first talk of the year will be at Valencia JUG where I will present The Past, Present, and Future of Enterprise Java. After that, I will be attending FOSDEM in Brussels. These two events conclude my January.
In February, I will be helping out at Jfokus as a stage host before going to Johannesburg to speak at JakartaOne by Jozi-JUG. While I am in South Africa, I am pleased that Bruno Souza will visit Malmö and present at Javaforum Malmö. Then I will speak at DeveloperWeek in San Jose and ConFoo in Montreal.
