Sun is holding its next internal engineering leadership conference in early October. These conferences bring together Sun's Fellows, Distinguished Engineers, Technical Directors, and a small number of other invited participants for two days of technology presentations and discussions. This particular conference will be held on Monterey Bay in California in early October.

Any employee may submit an extended abstract for consideration. We are especially interested in technologies that enhance support of red shift applications or improve our effectiveness and efficiency for blue shift applications. Eco-oriented topics are of interest as well. These areas are not meant to be all-inclusive as there is a tremendous amount of other relevant and interesting work being done within R&D. Deadline for abstracts is July 9th.

You should have seen at least one internal email message from Rich Zippel, IAS Organizing Committee Chair, about the conference. If you haven't and are interested, send me email (joshua dot simons at sun dot com) and I'll send you a copy.
