Posted by alexwinston on May 30, 2007 at 11:29 AM EDT
Java speakers are needed for an upcoming conference, http://devlink.net, in Nashville, Tennessee. We currently only have 2-3 committed Java speakers and are far outnumbered by .Net speakers. If you or someone you know would like to speak at a regionally sponsored event please contact me immediately.

it a point to familiarize myself with this particular idiom as well as others that
are often talked about but rarely used within the java community.
