JavaOne: Total Access

Saturday May 03, 2008

By now, if you are coming to San Francisco for next's weeks festivities you are either:

a. packing and getting ready to leave

or

b. en route to SF

If
you aren't coming our way, or even if you are and you just want to see
what's shaking in other parts of the conference (dude, the conference
is huge....both in space and in session options), Sun is providing you
with a plethora of social media options to help keep you in the game.
Check it out here.

And
of course, as always, I'll be bloggin' it real time at the
SDN'sider. I'll be arriving in SF tomorrow afternoon and will be
hitting the ground running. Look for an update here tomorrow night with
some sneek peeks. And, my partner in crime, Jenn Winger aka maybeimright and I will be taping a pre-conference wrap up youtube video tomorrow night too. So hang tight for that.

A lot going on peeps. A lot. Hope you enjoy the show!
