Alert, Alert.

JavaOne Scoop time.

(you'll recall) I made it my mission in life last year during JavaOne season to uncover what the plans are for JavaOne and tell all in MaryMaryQuiteContrary.

(JavaOne is the world's largest developer conference on the planet. For the uninitiated out there. And those who like redundancies.)

We call this wildly popular and lively feature "JavaOne Scoop"

Scoop I delivered to MaryMaryQuiteContrary readers well in advance of any kind of "official communication" included:

1. Big time hints that Train (the band) was going to be performing at JavaOne
2. A complete run-down of all the parties (including the exclusive ones); i even found out what they were going to be serving for food.
3. Sneak peak into announcements. (for those who are good at reading between the lines on these)
4. All kinds of other stuff which I can't really remember at this precise moment and I'm too lazy to go back and look at the coverage to tease them out.

JavaOne Scoop.

It was standing feature.

Guess what!

It's 2005 JavaOne Season.

Guess what else.

Mission redux.

:-)

Here's my warm-up act.

I just found out that the first 300 people who go to NetBeans day (which is free and is the day before JavaOne starts)

Shift. Reload.

kiss, kiss!

That's great! I hope JavaOne 2005 will be as great as JavaOne 2004. I really enjoyed it. Now, if you could find out which french journalists will be invited to JavaOne 2005, that would be great. I was last year, and it would be cool to be this year ^^ Now I wonder what is best: be invited as a journalist (and benefit from the nice dedicated press room) or be invited as a Swing team member?

I must admit that I have never heard of Train. I would have thought that with your connections we would have had U2 playing at JavaOne. Oh well, never mind. Peter
