Friday March 23, 2007 JavaOne Beer: Save-The-Dates
I've been at Sun for seven years this June. My very first day was the opening day of JavaOne in 2000. I have attended every JavaOne; indeed, I was responsible for IBM attending the first one in 1996 when I managed to find a colleague with budget to pay for it (hi, Gabriel!)
So it's with some pleasure that this year I actually have a substantial involvement with the event for the first time since I joined Sun. My team is running some stuff on May 7 that will soon be announced there; we are acting as managers for the open source track which is appearing there for the first time this year; and we are helping connect people for track sessions, demos, informal events and even (we hope) announcements.
I also hope to host a bloggers beer bash again at the Thirsty Bear on the Wednesday evening, so if you have a blog save the date. And if you will be in San Francisco on Monday May 7, save the whole day, something good (and free) is coming!

"Modern" PR and campaigning were invented by the Quakers, it seems.

Fascinating to see this ex-Sun Novell guy is completely unaware that Sun has changed since he left with a chip on his shoulder. Old knowledge is a dangerous thing; I'm glad our competitors don't employ more informed people.

Looks like Microsoft is packing ISO SC34 so that the OOXML vote is a landslide. Just the same tactics IBM used to use for SQL. All those new P-members must be so grateful Microsoft has offered volunteers to help them.
