Here is a photo of me and Duke at JavaOne 2009

The show has started!

As usual Jonathan Swartz presented a collection of partners and companies that has excelled in using or contributing to the Java technology, a couple of Duke awards was announced. The Java Store store.java.com was released with the slogan Turning Labors of Love Into Day Jobs.

James Gosling rocketed out the inevitable T-shirts, and people where as crazy as ever. I am sure some of the nerds even fainted….

At the end of the show, Scott McNeally brougt Larry Ellison on stage. See previous post.

Just when we were wondering if the whole keynote would go by without anybody mentioning Oracle at all, Scott McNealy invited Larry Ellison on stage!

Larry said that Oracle has no plans of changing anything radically. On the contrary, he emphasized that the combined resources of Sun and Oracle will let Java and the Java Community continue to grow as it is doing today.

At CommunityOne today, OpenSolaris 2009.06 was released. I have just installed it on my brand new Acer Inspire One. The poor litle netbook had to survive three suffering hours running Windows, but now it finally has a proper operating system
