There will be a Gradle session at Devoxx. I will be around at Devoxx for the whole week. Please drop me a line if you are interested in meeting there.
We are also very excited to present Gradle at TheServerSide Java Symposium in March 2009.
For those who haven't come across Gradle yet. Gradle is a new, flexible general purpose build system with a build-by-convention framework a la Maven on top. It uses Apache Ivy under the hood for its dependency management. Its build scripts are written in Groovy.
