I lead the Seam and Web Beans projects, and am a core developer on RichFaces. I also represent JBoss on the JSF 2.0 Expert Group. I am a regular speaker at JUGs and conferences such as Devoxx (Javapolis), JAX and JBoss World.
I am currently employed by Red Hat working on JBoss open source projects. Before working for Red Hat, I used and contributed to Seam whilst working at a UK based staffing agency as IT Development Manager.

Unfortunately a hiccup with SourceForge has meant that Seam and Web Beans downloads are currently unavailable - please bear with us while we sort it out.
In the meantime, I've put the latest releases of Seam and Web Beans up on another server:
- Web Beans 1.0.0.PREVIEW1
- Seam 2.1.2.GA (watch this space)
- Seam 2.2.0.CR1 (watch this space)
The Seam team is happy to report that Seam 2.2.0.CR1 is now out. This release gives us a chance to upgrade Seam to the latest versions of a few libraries that are core to Seam. These changes were big enough to warrant bumping minor version numbers.
The largest is a bump to the entire Hibernate family of APIs - core 3.3.1, tools 3.2.4, entitymanager 3.4.0, annotations 3.4.0 and search 3.1.1. We've also moved our Drools support from Drools 4 to Drools 5. If the great new features of Drools 5 weren't enough, we've added a few new features to the drools integration: decision table support, Seam components as consequence exception handlers and Seam components as Drools event listeners.
Finally, we've put in some serious work towards making Seam work better for applications that deploy over multiple WAR files. If that's something you've been having issues with, we definitely recommend that you give Seam 2.2 a try.
As always, please ask questions in the forums and open issues in JIRA for confirmed bugs.
Eduardo just posted a slide cast from the webinar. Check them out if you haven't managed to catch a JCDI presentation in the flesh!
Last week I recorded a couple of podcasts. The first one, with Nitin from DZone, gives a good overview of where we are going with Web Beans and Seam 3 - we talk about what JCDI is, how it fits into Seam 3, and the migration path.
A couple of days later, I talked to Ken from Chariot Tech Cast; we got into a lot of depth on JCDI and did an extensive tour of it's features - a good companion to the JCDI webinar I'm recording later today!
I'm giving a webinar on JSR-299 on Gassfish TV
