If you happen to be at JavaOne this year, please drop by the java.net
community corner. This year we'll have some mini-talks about JPackage,
Kaffe, Classpath and other free Java stuff, besides some
Sun-sponsored talks.
If people see there's interest from the community in Free Software
Java projects, next years there'll be more space for us at the
conference, and this will help more developers escape the Java
trap.
Wish I was there. But currently I am trapped in old-Europe. Audrius
and I gave presentations in Zwitserland and Germany this month. Audrius
setup a page on our wiki where you can find those and some other
presentation/promotion material that you should feel free to reuse:
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathPresentations
There is also our support document which, although a bit dated, is nice
because the PDF version can be printed as a 3 page handout and shows how
important Compatibility, Correctness and Completeness is for our efforts
(something which seems to always be a big theme with the JavaOne crowd):
http://developer.classpath.org/support/
And I recently wrote a paper on the current state and GNU/Linux
packaging challenges which you can find at:
http://www.klomp.org/mark/classpath/lt2006/paper.html
Hope some of that material is useful.
And GNU Classpath 0.91 One for All, All for One was release yesterday:
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/announce/20060515.html
It is already included in Debian unstable and OpenSuse will hopefully
follow today. To give a quick demo you can also just install a recent
Ubuntu or Fedora release and show native gcj compiled eclipse, tomcat,
openoffice, etc.
Have fun,
Mark
