The editorial this week is brought to you by Jason Porter, Senior Software Engineer
Today back in 1818 Mary Shelley published Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus![1] It is often considered to be the first science fiction novel. We may not have such exciting firsts this week, but the tech community has seen more announcements that would have been considered science fiction 10 years ago. Microsoft has continued it’s advance into the OSS area with the announcement of joining the Eclipse Foundation [2] and SQL Server for Linux![3]
I know I’m anxious to see any further moves in the tech industry in the near future!
On to our Week in JBoss!
