Maybe the first of several updates, or maybe not, but...
I attended the reception for speakers and met Floyd M. (sorry, but I have no hope of actually spelling his last name correctly) from The Server Side, Jason Hunter of JDOM, Craig Russell from Sun (JDO spec lead), and Elliotte Rusty Harold of Cafe Con Leche. Luckily, Floyd didn't smack me in person after my recent blog entries. Had nice random chats with ERH and Jason regarding Jakarta and such. And Craig gave me some insight on how Sun deals with JSRs and reference implementations (bottom line: "it's complex").
It's always weird meeting someone for the first time in meatspace after interacting with them digitally for years sometimes. Personally, I know that I ascribe arbitrary faces and voices to people I've never met. Of course, I'm seldom accurate. I can only wonder how folks envisioned me (if at all) before this evening.
I did note how much more quickly conversations occur when they aren't being handled through email.
So, maybe more useful notes tomorrow, after I actually attend some of the presentations.
