Maccamp Boston is this weekend - and I’m going to go !

I’m not quite sure what I’ll talk about (if asked) probably iOnTV (which I’ve done a bunch of work on recently - though it’s not reflected on the website).

Oh - and I got VMware to donate some copies of Fusion for a raffle too !

Craig Hockenberry (Iconfactory & Twitterific) is looking to encourage more developers to request Apple to support the use of Mac OS X Client (Desktop) virtualization and not just the Server version of Mac OS X :

Of course I have a vested interest in this and am not without bias on the issue - but all the same he raises valid points…

Shawn Morel is one of the developers on the Fusion Team here at VMware.Last year he gave a presentation (along with local Boston Mac Developer Daniel Jalkut) at the C4[1] developer conference. Wolf Rentzsch the conference organizer has started putting videos of the presentations on-line, he just posted the video of Shawn’s presentation. Daniels presentation was posted last week.

What’s VMware showing at Macworld ?

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Server in a virtual environment.

This is an ‘out of the box’ install of Leopard running in an early (preview) version of a future VMware product for Mac OS X - yes it’s based on Fusion.

I’m really excited to be able to contribute to this (though I’ve done nothing yet, I’ve only been there a week - and I think that lots of people out there are looking forward to being able to use it too !

The Mac faithful will all be watching San Francisco next week - to see what his ‘greatness’ announces.

VMware will be there too (for the first time I think). I doubt VMware’s announcements will rise to the same level of hysteria that will be associated with anything Apple announces - but there’s going to be some good stuff !

So if you’re there drop by the booth - unfortunately I won’t be travelling to the show, but there will be a variety of other VMware engineers involved with Fusion who will be there during the show.
