The JavaOne team finally took to heart the attendee feedback for "more community involvement" in content selection. After whipping up a "friendly and collaborative" legal agreement, we enlisted the expertise of these folks to review, comment and selection of technical session and birds-of-a-feather. I've also identified the track that they were involved in reviewing:


Andre Charland: Nitobi, President - Tools and Languages track
Dan Creswell: Lone Crusadar Ltd - Cool Stuff track
Neal Gafter: Google, Software Engineer - Core Platform track
Ben Galbraith: Self-Employed, Consultant - Next Generation Web and Desktop tracks
Leonardo Galvao: SouJava / Java Magazine Director / Editor-in-Chief - Open Source track
Romain Guy: Freelance Software Engineer - Desktop track
Cay Horstmann: Professor - Tools and Languages track
Stephan Janssen: BeJUG Chairman - Open Source track
Theodore Leung: Apache - Open Source track
Brian Lewis: Intel, Inc. - Cool Stuff track
Fabiane Nardon: JavaTools Community - Open Source track
William Pugh: Univ. of Maryland, Professor - Core Platform track
Dirk Riehle: SAP/Research - Open Source track
Hani Suleiman: Formicary, CTO - Next Generation Web and Enterprise Platform track
Dain Sundstrom: IBM, Apache Geronimo - Open Source track
Fabio Velloso: Summa Technologies, Senior Consultant - Open Source track
Joe Winchester: IBM UK, Software Engineer, IBM Rational Software Group - Desktop track

We invited our external reviewers to comment on their experience. For a unfiltered piece of advice to submitters, you might want to check out the Bile Blog by Hani

Next time: the long awaited conclusion of JavaOne Conference Call for Papers, The Sequel! Having wrapped up on Dec 15, 2006, it was an amazing (but predictable) climax.
