Internationalization is the process of writing software in such a way as to make the localization of the software to a particular region as easy as possible. In other words, internationalization aims to remove the burden of re-engineering an application when writing for multiple countries and/or regions. Localization deals with the translation of textual elements to a particular locale. There are also a number of user interface elements that may be added or removed from a locale to provide the user with a native look and feel to the application. This session will cover many of the aspects of internationalization such as locales, isolating locale-specific data, formatting of data, Unicode, input and output, GUI development,input methods, etc. The session is intended to provide an overview and introduction to the many different aspects of Java internationalization and how these fulfill the promise of "Write Once, Run Anywhere (in the world)".

We've tried Roller Weblogger for some time but our final choice for a blogging system is Blojsom. It ran smoothly on Tomcat 5 and only needed a little configuration to suit our needs. It's very lightweight, file based and has lots of interesting plugins that hopefully we'll have time to use one day.
