JBossWorld in Boston and bike riding in California

I'll be talking about mod-cluster at JBossWorld this June. It was a good talk last year, and I've spiced up the demo even more: I'm going to show 2 Apache httpd instances running in different clouds, and 3 domains of JBoss instances, also running in 3 different clouds (GoGrid, Amazon EC2 and Rackspace).

This will be a fun talk, showing the practical aspects of clouds, and not focusing on the hype (I leave that to marketing :-)).

This led to some changes in JGroups, which I'll talk about in my next blog post.

It would be cool to see some of you at JBW !

After that, I'll fly to the best place in the US: the Bay Area ! I'll be there June 25 until July 2nd and will rent a race bike, to ride my 5 favorite rides (from the time when I lived in San Jose). A friend will join me for some insane riding (he's preparing for the Death Ride), so this will definitely be fun !

Now let's just hope that some unknown volcano in Iceland doesn't stop me from making the trip to the US ! :-)
