At JavaOne 2008, Professor Dan Harkey from San Jose State University and Professor Leigh Jin from San Francisco State University met members from java.net, Mural, and Glass Fish to discuss collaboration between Sun and their respective universities. I got a chance to be part of this discussion. In this pic below you can see Satya Dodda, Judy Tang, and Gopal from Glass Fish quality community talking to the rest of the group.

We all met at java.net community corner and had a very productive meeting. Among the things we discussed were
- How schools can better collaborate with Sun to use practices and technologies that are currently in use in the industry
- How Sun can leverage the research schools are doing and evaluate next generation methodologies and practices
As a follow up to this meeting, you will see a new and exciting set of programs and resources specifically for students. We do not have a timeline for this yet, but be on the lookout. Finally, Himani, Shivani, and Tanushree presented this poster that showcases student project that was mentored by Srinivasan's group from Mural community.
