Greetings from JavaZone!
I’ve arrived at JavaZone in Oslo, Norway and I’ve been having quite a good time so far. The morning’s entertainment, a band that employed banging on dishwashers, freezers, and other loud boxes, was very rousing. 
The talks seem to be well attended as well, so I’m eager to see how many people show up for my talk on Quercus later today (Zone V, 15:45). There are also live projected videos of each speaker in the main hall and I just overheard someone say that you can point your headphones at each video to hear different speakers! The organizers have also set up a whiteboard area so that speakers and attendees can talk and brainstorm after the presentations. You can find me there after my talk…
