Derby Drinks and Discussion Downtown

JavaOne is in full swing, and it’s getting mighty busy. We have a lot of folks from the Sun Derby team in Norway coming to visit and I’m trying to set up meetings with them, trying to prepare for my talk (including getting the demos to actually work and rehearsing timings with Dan), trying to figure out what sessions I want to go to, trying to meet with other folks coming in for JavaOne.

At the same time, I’m trying to figure out what proposal I am going to mentor for the Google Summer of Code. I feel bad for the students, they haven’t heard much from me this week :(.

I do want to invite any and all of you coming to JavaOne to come to the Derby event hosted by Sun and IBM on Tuesday night from 7:30-9:30 at Jillian's in the Sony Metreon. It’s happening just after the Derby talk (at 5:45 in Hall E134). There will be many of the committers, contributors and users of Derby there, and we expect to have some lively conversations. There will be beer, wine and tasty snacks.

The Sony Metreon is right next to the Moscone Center -101 4^th Street. Jillian’s is suite 170. So, see you there!
