“SpringOne Europe promises to be an exciting forum for the global Spring developer community and will provide a chance for community members to collaborate and discuss best practices in enterprise development,” said Rod Johnson, CEO of SpringSource. “We view SpringOne as an ideal gathering place and the premier event for the growing number of European developers using Spring technologies.”
