Grails Diary - Week 51

22 December 2013

This week has been rather quiet, leaving room to digest the impressions from last weeks GGX. Guillaume did update the Groovy roadmap, with the plans for Groovy 2.3 and 3.0.

Remember, the call for papers are open for GR8conf (US and EU both) at http://cfp.gr8conf.org and Greach at http://greach.es/c4p.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
