Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Month in Spring! And what a month it's been! I've been in Asia since we last spoke. I started my journey in Taipei, Taiwan; then went to Sydney, Australia; then went to Seoul, South Korea; then went to Singapore; then went to Bali and Jakarta, Indonesia; and now I'm in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This Thursday I'll be doing a presentation here in Kuala Lumpur – if you're around, come hang out! And soon I'm off to Tokyo, Japan where, again, I'll be doing a public event as well: join me!
Then, my adventure in Asia concludes and I return home. But a new adventure begins, as I'll be in Las Vegas for SpringOne at VMWare Explore. It's going to be double dope! Have you registered? I can't wait to see you! It'll be the best event in which to learn all about the latest and greatest in the Spring ecosystem, directly from the source.
In the meantime, we'll just try to recap it. And there's a lot to recap, too. Let's dive right into it!
