4.2.0.ALPHA5 is out!

Yes, yet another alpha for Infinispan 4.2.0 codenamed Ursus.  What's new in this alpha?  A lot of bug fixes, reported by you the community, on earlier alphas as well as on 4.1.0 Radegast.  For a full list of what's changed, please consult these release notes.

Please do give this release a spin and provide as much feedback as you can.  A feature-complete beta is imminent and we expect it to be very stable - as far as betas go - and all thanks to your feedback.

Data-as-a-Service: a talk by yours truly

Last month, at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco, I spoke about data grids.  A BOF session on on cloud-ready data stores using data grids, and a conference session on measuring performance and benchmarking data grids.  But in addition to the official JavaOne talks, I also did two short, 20-minute mini-sessions at the Red Hat booth at the JavaOne pavillion, titled Data-as-a-Service using Infinispan.  The good folks at the Red Hat booth even recorded it and put it online on Vimeo, where it is accessible on-demand.

Welcome Trustin Lee

I'd like to welcome Infinispan's newest full-time core engineer, Trustin Lee.  Trustin's no stranger to open source software, being the founder and project lead of Apache MINA and Netty - the latter of which is used in Infinispan's memcached and Hot Rod server endpoints.  Trustin will be working on all things Infinispan, adding muscle to the core development effort.  Trustin's based in Seoul, South Korea.

Welcome aboard, Trustin!  :)
