Just wrapped up my tutorial for the anual XMLEurope gathering. Uhuh, another JIT delivery. And not in the least cause there is again a lot to tell about what happens in the border-region of Java and XML lands. Innovation surely hasn't dried up yet.

Having the conference so close to home probably will account for a higher percentage of known faces, specially since we've been rather active in Holland lately. Not that you need to know a lot of people before attending. The last two editions I've attended there was just a great ambience of introducing/being introduced, extending the network of geek talk partners and freely sharing refreshing ideas.

The other things I'll be looking out for this year are:

• Steven's talk on Cocoon.
• Getting together with some cocoonies at the AmsterdamStammtisch
• Maybe I can attend the XForms tutorial to get some fresh Cocoon Forms inspiration.
• Listen to the REST -activist Paul Prescod.
• A chance to hear Michael K. again.

Well, hope to see you there...
