Yes, what can I say more? Javarsovia 2010 conference is over! At least for attendees 
Just to summarize in numbers:
- the first post to the internal management group was sent on 20th of November 2009 – it’s over 18 921 600 seconds or 315 360 minutes or 5256 hours or just 7 months ago
- till now the members of the management group posted more than 4000 posts, just in June over 1600
- 19 partners were supporting us: Javart, IBM, Google, Microsoft, Azul Systems, Oracle, Adobe, TouK, it Kontrakt, e-point, Tieto, Sages, Javatech, iStream, SoftwareMill, Helion, OVH.pl, Sun, Atlassian, ej-technologies
- over 900 people were registered and more than 650 attended
- 24 speakers
- 4 paths for 6 presentations it’s giving us 1080 minutes of spreading knowledge
- catering served more than 1 000 000 calories
- conference’s website was opened by over 8700 unique visitors
The numbers allow us to say the one final note: Javarsovia 2010 was the Nth* biggest Java conference in Europe! And everything for free!
See you soon – Javarsovia 2011 will be in less than 365 days 
* – I made a tiny mistake calling Javarsovia 2010 “the 2nd biggest conference in Europe” – sorry for that!
overwhelm
Jun 18th
That’s it, I’m totally overwhelmed by organization of Javarsovia 2010 conference. For the last few days I’ve been hanging on a phone all day, discussing and answering sponsor’s questions. I wrote hundreds of mails to management board internal group. I have no more space in my daily schedule to read blogs 
Hopefully it’s the last week and we are solved almost all the issues we had – shirts, catering, rooms, etc. We have more than 880 registered attendees! It’s two times more than last year!
Any way I found a little time to watch that very nice TED speech, it’s about how to start movement and be a leader – very interesting and all in three minutes!
PS. I’m also not able to write posts from work, something went wrong when I migrated my DNS server 
a new year
Jan 7th
Yap, the New Year became
I’ve came back to work to rest
I had fixed my “last three bugs” and have nothing to do
I had started playing a flash game and I got pain in my neck – the Flash is an evil 
I started preparing Javarsovia 2010 conference
I’m thinking to participate in GeeCON 2010 conference as a presenter – first I must have some good topic to present
Yap, the old year had gone, New Year became
it’s a crazy world

Yes, I can said that after that two weeks – I’ve been finishing my largest project – building my own home! I spend that time moving out from my tiny flat (43 square meters) and moving in to my brand new home. I never supposed how many things I have – lost of them useless And I had to move them all and sorted later – not the best solution, but the fastest
Ok, that’s one part – the second was that Warszawa JUG has it’s own server – running with Java, Jetty, Apache 2 web server, Hudson, Git and Mercurial! Lot’s of stuff! And it was awesome to install and configure them all – everything on Ubuntu server Linux! I like that So if you have some questions regarding that I will be please to answer them. Especially regarding setting up Git repository with secure access – it was the painful experience! Maybe I should write some article about that on Knowledge Base site?
Right now we’re moving javarsovia.pl web site to it – as we were starting preparation for out annual conference – Javarsovia 2010! We have some plans to write dedicated software to runs that site but that just plans
And at the end – the work! Nothing special – we’re going to production (again) with our long-term project, preparing some new functionality to implements it next year and preparing ourself for Christmas!
two days at once
Nov 17th
I hadn’t have any particular tasks for last two days. Some minor updates to print layout – that’s it! So I had time to work with Apache Struts2 project and with Xwork project. Also I prepared another presentation from Javarsovia 2009 conference and uploaded it on beta.parleys.com.
Today we had Code Review – it was a bit to long, over three hours! Code Reviews are great if they are organized more often, but hopefully we will have another Code Review soon
day as usual
Oct 27th
I think it was a day as usual – I fixed some bugs (two ), prepared a presentation on Parleys.com and made some Web Services integration skeleton. And I had the second part of Communication training.
Day as usual
I started the day preparing the presentation, as a JUG we have a dedicated channel on beta.parleys.com where we are publishing materials from conferences or JUG events. All are in Polish so you have to know it It was about JBoss and clustering that it had been presented during Javarsovia 2009 conference! I also made a note about podcast from COOLuary v1 conference.
Then I fixed two simple bugs regarding print template that I had been working a while ago – they looked a quite hard, but we team-mate help it was a moment! Collective knowledge!
And at the end of work day I made skeleton for web service integration – I used more or less copy-paste pattern
After work we had a second part of Communication training – we learned a lot interesting things and behaviour about ourselves! I made some notes for future and maybe publish my thoughts lately!
