Are you ready for SpringOne? It's almost here!

A popular part of SpringOne are the birds-of-a-feather sessions. Different groups get together to talk about different aspects of Spring, Groovy, and Grails. This year, they are scheduled for Tuesday night, September 9th, starting at 9pm. (When do they end? When everyone finally leaves!)

They are indeed popular. Last year I sat in on the Spring Framework one and enjoyed the close, unscripted discussions (not lectures). You should think about carving out some time for that!

This year, we have a new session planned: Spring Data.

If you aren't aware, the Spring Data release train has now grown to include eleven modules: Commons, JPA, MongoDB, Neo4j, Solr, Couchbase, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Gemfire, Redis, and REST. Whew, that's a lot!

Spring Data has grown in popularity throughout the community. If you're interested in chatting with some of the project leads (can't guarantee they will ALL be this session) as well as other members of the Spring Data community, plan some time to join us!

NOTE: It's not too late! Hurry up and register today!
