It's (Java)One Big Happy Family

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

Neal Gafter: Google, Software Engineer - Core Platform track
Ben Galbraith: Self-Employed, Consultant - Next Generation Web and Desktop tracks
