Might be nice to schedule an Java Futures round-table with some notables,
maybe have it once a year or two. Where you get some notables in the field
to talk (and DON'T work for Oracle) to talk about what they see in terms of
current/future of Java. Might be a good one to do when the regular cre

That's a shame. I really do like the interviews but we all really do
appreciate the extraordinary amount of you all do in keeping this

To defend Dick a bit: I was the one who booked our rooms. I checked the
links through the conference and also via Orbitz, and saw prices in the many
hundreds per day. Some were $1000+, but I guess there are always a few of
those.
For us, $300+ per night per person was a bit out of our budget--

I felt the same. Tired and uninspired of the usual "Java playing catch-up"
game and the "Java is on X trillion devices" mantra. Could also have to do
with working for a company who's increasingly adopting C# and its
programmers tired of having to implement algorithms with BigDecimal.
