This is really cool, way better than the one on the JavaOne site. If you have an account on JavaLobby you can go straight in & use it (it's a Java Webstart application) and it saves via a web servcie to your JL account.

You'll recall OpenOffice.org running their "Get Legal, Get OpenOffice.org" campaign? Well, it seems Microsoft want to supply case studies like this one to help the campaign along...

Of course, only wrongdoers need be concerned.

Toasting Freedom
Another event invitation for those of you who will be at JavaOne, but with a difference.
With so many geeks at the conference, wouldn't it be great if we could get people to tithe their skills to a good cause? Well, the OpenSolaris team has worked out a way to do that and is hosting a Freedom Toaster toast-a-thon next Wednesday. The plan is to build a Freedom Toaster using a system donated by Sun's Network Systems Group and then load it up with ISOs of all the Free/Open Source software we can manage. After the event, it will be sent down to a South Africa township.
I've been invited to host the event so I would love to see you there too. Please sign up and then come to Room 123 in Moscone at 7pm on Wednesday.
