jSpirit is a new Java unconference in the Bavarian alps. Starting in Winter 2018, we’re down for Spirits, Ski & JAVA. How does that sound do you?
Spirits
jSpirit is the first Java (un)conference ever being held in a distillery (at least to our knowledge). And it’s not just any distillery – it’s Europe’s most modern distillery: Lantenhammer Erlebnisdestillerie Hausham!
By the way: we are renting the entire distillery: lunch will be served in the main storage depot between all the whisky, gin, rum and schnapps barrels. And we can hold sessions everywhere, even right by the stills!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

AWS recently announced that the managed source control service AWS CodeCommit is again generally available and that new features, including Git Large File Storage, will be added early in 2026. This marks a shift for the cloud provider that previously announced the service would not be further developed, closed it to new accounts, and encouraged migration to external alternative services.

AWS has unveiled Durable Functions for Lambda, revolutionizing multi-step workflows. This feature allows developers to write code that manages state and retry logic without incurring costs during waits. With advanced capabilities like checkpoints, pauses for up to a year, and simplified orchestration, Durable Functions streamline complex serverless applications.
