五月已近尾声，而为期中的 阿姆斯特丹和伦敦 S2G 论坛的所有准备工作都已就绪。这些 S2G 论坛是欧洲用户获取 Spring 社区相关最佳信息的首选之地（费用最低！）。希望在 阿姆斯特丹（2011年5月26日 - 114 欧元）和/或 伦敦（2011年5月31日 - 99 英镑）见到各位！

在此期间，各位想要更深入了解 Spring 框架如何在新兴的 CloudFoundry 开源云 PaaS 项目中运行的，千万不要错过一场网络研讨会——10 天后，将在北美和欧洲举办的“Spring 从零到云，60 分钟搞定”活动，面向 北美和 欧洲！

1. 已发布 SpringSource Tool Suite 2.6.1。此次发布包含常规的更新和功能。一些特别值得注意的功能包括：更新了捆绑的 vFabric tc Server，2.5 版本， 改进了 tc Server 实例创建的支持，更新了 Spring Roo 到最新版本 1.1.3，以及（太棒了！）捆绑支持 CloudFoundry。请查看 “新增与值得关注” PDF 文档了解详情。

	<li> The  <A HREF="http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/">CloudFoundry blog</a> has run two different parts with a detailed look at  what happens when you <code>push</code> applications to the CloudFoundry project. The first post details what happens from the <a href="http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/post/4737632136/what-happens-when-you-vmc-push-an-application-to-cloud">client-side perspective</a>. The second post provides details on what happens from <a href="http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/post/5223861703/how-cloud-foundry-works-when-a-new-application-is">the cloud-side perspective, once the application's been <code>push</code>-ed.</a> Check it out! All of this information, of course, can be gleamed by looking <a href="http://www.github.com/CloudFoundry">at the source</a>, but it's nice to have it laid out clearly. Makes reading the source easier, too!

<a href="http://www.springsource.org/spring-android/news/1.0.0.m3-released">Spring Android 1.0.0.M3 Released</a>: Spring Android supports usage of the Spring Framework in a Android environment. The 1.0.0.M3 release focuses on extending the use of Spring Social in native Android applications including support for Spring Social 1.0.0.M3 and updated RestTemplate (client) support for Spring 3.1.0.M1.

	Want to learn even more about <a href="http://www.springsource.org/spring-android">Spring Android</a>? The project helps make it dead-simple to consume RESTful services from an Android client. <a href="http://www.android-peru.com/Connecting-RESTful-Web-Services-Android-Spring-Rest">Here's a cool talk about consuming RESTful web services using Spring Android's <code>RestTemplate</code></a> from the Android-Peru.com portal (the talk's in Spanish, although the code examples are universal!).

	<a href="http://www.tomcatexpert.com">TomcatExpert.com</a> keeps publishing more and more great content for those enterprise developers and admins interested in getting the most out of Tomcat. The latest post talks about <a href="http://www.tomcatexpert.com/blog/2011/05/09/cross-site-request-forgery">Cross-Site Request Forgery</a> and how new features in Tomcat 7 can protect against it.

	Tobias Mattsson has just posted a blog on how to use 
	 <a href ="http://tobias-mattsson-magnolia.blogspot.com/2011/05/twitter-and-spring-social-in-magnolia.html">Spring Social to show recent Tweets in Magnolia CMS.</a> He also talks about a technology called <a href="http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/modules/blossom.html">Blossom,</a> which lets you embed Spring MVC controllers in a Magnolia page. Lots of cool stuff in this post!

	MyNoSQL, a community blog about NoSQL technologies, has just put up a introspective look at the <a href="http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/5244372217/mongodb-adoption-in-the-java-world">adoption of MongoDB</a> in Java and also discusses other challenges in <em>big data</em>. My Conclusion:  Grails, Spring, Spring Data and CloudFoundry are leading the way!

  A blog, aptly named "Roo Findings", has just written a summary post about <a href="http://pragmatikroo.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-roo-year-of-productivity.html">his year long odyssey</a> learning, using and <strong>loving</strong> Spring Roo. Lots of neat content in there, check it out!

	<LI>This post - by Oxen Software Studio - illustrates two different approaches (one in Guice, one in Spring) to solving the following scenario: <a href="http://blog.oxen.com.ar/2011/05/scope-strategies-spring-and-guice.html">I've got a scoped bean, and I need to access it from a singleton.</a> The steps to get to the final answer are as revealing as the final answer itself, since I suspect a lot of people don't know that you can do this, let alone how easy Spring makes it.
