Ubuntu Developer Summit
Next week I'll be in Mountain View participating in the
Ubuntu
Developer Summit along with
several of
my colleagues from Sun.
This is all about work as it's an unconference, but
it will be great to see people I haven't seen in a long time
and meet developers I've only worked with on IRC.
Several years ago I needed to switch operating systems and
I tried Debian based on
the strength of recommendations for the
apt-get
software package management system. I was so impressed
with how well Debian managed complex software dependencies
that I've been using it ever since (and the
bad old days are gone).
Earlier this year I had a chance to attend the Debian
unconference
and work closely with
Debian and
Ubuntu
developers on the new
DLJ license for Java.
That was a lot of fun and it helped me understand the
relationship
between Debian and Ubuntu.
Since that time I've also helped Ubuntu run well on
Sun's SPARC servers.

So next week I hope to make progress on ideas that have been discussed for Debian Java Policy and begin to demonstrate the kinds of platforms and applications possible in the
apt-get
world now that the JDK foundation is ready. Check the
wiki
for updated details on all of Sun's projects at the summit.
