I've been discussing a talk with Leon, tentatively entitled "Through The Looking Glass" - basically an account of what I found in the years I've been spending a lot of time with Java & JVM technology and communities. I could do either the technical or community aspects - both are IMO very interesting and provide, in many ways, very different perspectives (but also some surprising similarities). Ben
