We're planning to have either dojo.dinner or dojo.beer after Alex and Joe's BOF Wednesday May 7th at JavaOne in San Francisco. Please send email to rsvp *at* dojotoolkit dot org if you want to join us. The BOF is finished at 7:30, so we'll start around then.

After a few weeks of trying to find out who owned the twitter user dojo, I've given up, and registered dojotoolkit. So, if you want to follow along with Dojo on twitter, follow http://twitter.com/dojotoolkit

The moment has arrived. I've been anticipating this since the first new fixes to trunk were made, shortly after the 1.0 release. I am proud -- no, elated -- to announce what marks another solid run of around-the-clock development: The Dojo Toolkit version 1.1

For the 4th straight year, we'll be heading to the Salt Lick on Sunday night (8pm) at SXSW, this year on March 9. If you are interested in attending this year, please RSVP to rsvp *at- dojotoolkit *dot* org by March 2. Let us know if you have a car and can drive others, or if you need a ride, and we'll make sure everyone can get there.

Just after Wolfram landed his new Rating widget in DojoX, I read about Tobi's extension to this widget that uses dojo.gfx! It's a testimony not just to Wolfram's clean implementation, but also to the reusability of the Dojo architecture and the widget system in particular. Nice work, guys!

Work is being done by Pratik Patel to integrate Dojo with Grails:

"I've been working on integrating Grails and the recently released Dojo 1.0.2. I'm particularly interested in the Dijit components that are now part of Dojo. It seems like a clean, easy way to get some AJAX widgetry into a web application. Grails comes with plugins for common AJAX frameworks - YUI, Dojo 0.4.2(?), and Prototype. Someone's even released a nifty AJAX "dummies" plugin called richUI."

This is a bug fix release and is fully API compatible with 1.0 and 1.0.1. The download is available at http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.0.2/ The change log can be found at http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/milestone/1.0.2

The first candidate for the 1.0.2 release is available at download.dojotoolkit.org

This is a bug fix release and is fully API compatible with 1.0.0.

A release candidate for the 1.0.1 release is ready.
