[via Russell Beattie] I’ve never been JavaOne conference (or JavaTwo, the JavaOne in Taiwan). But when I looked at the official website and viewing the webcast, I feel, well, cool! And they also introduce a new collaborative workplace java.net.

It seem Sun is trying catching up with more marketing effort. May be they should have these cool stuff more often, and organize them at more places. You won’t gain lots of fresh technical food there, but it’s kind of motivating to try out more of Java stuff. That’s what Microsoft do with regular conference (e.g. Technet) to attract and create local developers’ desire to try their technology.
