Countdown to JavaOne Begins

May 7, 2006 in General Discussions, Java

Next weekend I’ll be in sunny San Francisco getting ready to take in my first JavaOne. We’re staying in the Sir Francis Drake, which was recommended by one of the guys travelling with us.

There’s no way I’m actually going to be able to sit in sessions from 8:30 -> 11:30 (counting the BoF’s) but I did make an attempt to sign up for anything and everything that looks interesting. Plenty of back-end sessions (looking for the Cameron Purdy’s talks) along with some client-side stuff from Karsten and Romain Guy.

Weather looks good, and it’ll be nice to finally get to a conference where I’m not actually performing booth duty in the exhibition hall.
