Back from LdapCON 2011

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm back from LdapCON, it was really very interesting.

Some major announcements have been done their, and a few presentation 
were really interesting.
OpenLDAP MDB backend is something worthful reading. Some of the paper 
are available on http://people.apache.org/~elecharny/, I think all the 
others will be available soon.

I will update the web site with the tests I wrote to demonstrate how to 
test an LDAP application.

Otherwise, we have had some convos with Selcuk about MDB and our MVCC 
implementation those last days, it seems that we will have something 
very similar soon. The good point is that we will have a global 
transaction manager on top of all the partitions, when OpenLDAP does 
have one per backend. That will certainly be useful when we will support 
cross-partitions operations, something we don't allow right now. Many 
other aspects still have to be discussed, but Im confident we will have 
something good enough soon.

Otherwise, I saw that a lot of modifications have been done in the OSGi 
area, thanks to Göktürk and Stefan. That's really sounds good too.

I'll be back to office tomorrow, tonite, I'll take a night off :)

I will also add my slides about a preview of Apache Directory Studio 2.0 (including the LDAP API).
