Where is java.net heading?

Here at the 3rd annual Java.net Community Leader's weekend in SFO there are a lot of interesting discussions and techno-gossip. For example, Collabnet just purchased SourceForge. What does this mean for online open-source communities? Are meta-communities still a viable model for the near future? What new features do we want to see at java.net? Are podcasts gaining traction in this space? What "best practices" are there for java.net communities?

And in my case, how do community leads find the time to keep things fresh? How does anyone?

So it should be an interesting weekend, and JavaOne hasn't even started yet...
