[Scott Newton]

Who   : Peter Harrison (President of the NZOSS (http://www.nzoss.org.nz/))
What  : Silent Success
        Many open source projects, especially in the Java arena, have gone 
under the radar. They are not as well known as Apache, Linux and OpenOffice, 
but they are providing the core technologies many companies now have deployed 
at the core of their businesses. Learn what some of these silent successes 
are, and how they are helping NZ software businesses.
      * Tomcat - the reference implementation of the Servlet and JSP 
specification. 
      * Hibernate - Recently acquired by Red Hat as part of JBoss. Hibernate 
is a popular data persistence engine that grew out of dissatisfaction with 
heavy J2EE technology.
      * Postgresql - Seemingly always in the shadow of MySQL, Postgresql is a 
rock solid database being used in the financial and healthcare sectors.
