Red Hat/Newcastle University research day

Just back from the first official research day with Newcastle University and it was good. We covered a lot of short and long term research areas, including fault tolerance, scalability, event processing and policy definition/management. It all had a very heavy practical slant to it, which is event better given that we're hoping to see a lot of this come through into various JBoss/Red Hat projects and products eventually. All in all it was a good day and hopefully next time we'll take a couple of days so we can delve into things in much more detail. But for now I've got to go through my notes and start working on getting these R&D efforts underway!
