Last year at JavaOne, the highlight for me was the Redmonk Unconference. It was a great venue to network, learn and discuss issues relevant to the open source community. The guys at Redmonk do a great job of bringing together the technologist and the business/marketing types into one place.
I would recommend to anyone going to JavaOne to try to make it to this year’s edition. My goal this year is to get a better appreciation of how people are using twitter for their community. Mik Kersten is also planning to talk about task focus programming. See you there.
thanks for the kind words, Ian. we look forward to seeing you there, and discussing Twitter usage.
