On July 24, Larry Lessig gave a talk at the Sun CTO All-Hands meeting.
Are there other conferences worth attending?

I’m Dick Gabriel, a computer scientist at Sun. I’ve been working in and around programming languages since 1975 and around objects since 1984 or so. These days I’m active in OO conferences and software patterns, and most of my blogs will be about those.
