If you have not heard about the recent launch of Google App Engine, I blogged about it here with links to more information and video recorded at the official launch event on April 7th:
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/van_riper/archive/2008/04/google_app_engi_1.html It is a free (up to a fair amount of page views and bandwidth per month) scalable web application hosting environment. It sounds like a really nice setup except for one thing. The only supported runtime is Python initially. If you would like to voice your support for adding Java runtime support to GAE, you can do so by starring this issue: http://tinyurl.com/5svpmh Important Note: Please do *not* add a "+1" comment to this issue like many others have already done. All that is necessary is to star the issue. Comments are intended to provide more information about an issue and everyone that stars an issue sees these comments. So, it ends up generating essentially spam email for everyone that has starred the issue. I fully realize that more factors than simply the number of stars an issue receives will go into the decision process with respect to a major feature addition like this. Still, the Java runtime issue is the top vote getter so far and I would like to keep it that way. The Ruby runtime issue is not that far behind us. :-) Cheers, Van -- | Michael "Van" Riper | http://weblogs.java.net/blog/van_riper/ | http://www.linkedin.com/in/vanriper ---- | Silicon Valley Web Developer JUG | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | https://sv-web-jug.dev.java.net ---- | Silicon Valley Google Technology User Group | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://sv-gtug.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
