The conference is winding down but it's never too late to do a little techno celeb watching...
You'll recall that today is Canada Day at JavaOne and how crazy is it that on the streets of San Francisco, I ran into a Canadian techno celeb...
... C'est moi avec Mario Cormier, Concepteur de logiciels senior, Miranda Technologies du Canada. (or is it "de Canada?")
Personal aside to Mario: I am seriously impressed. french on the business card. love it! you Canadians rock!
along with what could be called quorum on the Jini team. But wait there's more! See that fellow right next to me -- the guy with the Jini shirt... well, when first I spotted him I knew there was something special...call it instincts... guess what... he too is a techno celeb! That's Stephen Pietrowicz from Pervasive Technology Labs at Indiana University.
be still my beating heart.
but alas, this was my final hurrah...
JavaOne 2004 is now history....
Back at Moscone, Duke was saying his last good byes to attendees...
... including Marcy LaVoillette, from Environmental Systems Research Institute. This charming young lady (early 20s, i asked) was a speaker here. you go girl!
So as we bid Duke (and Marcy) a final farewell, please join me in thanking the many, many people who slaved tirelessly to make JavaOne 2004 such an unmitigated success, some of whom are pictured here...
Betsy, you never looked better!
big kiss everybody!
