Jim Waldo is one of Sun’s techie guys, a researcher, not a product or marketing guy. He’s sharing the “challenges” of open sourcing Java, citing interoperability as a potentially competing interest. The session is mostly a somewhat interesting rah-rah session for what we have accomplished in the developer industry, what Sun and Java have accomplished, and where we’re going. Not a bad presentation for a pep rally, but not much meat here either.

- rkischuk: @rhapsody Is there any timeframe on improving the web player? On a Mac, and get endless "buffering" & "track temporarily unavailable" often
- rkischuk: @jpholbrook No kidding. My initial git experience has been a VERY mixed bag. Nice command line, but huge repo, inexplicably corrupted.
- rkischuk: Local git clone of @Xeko is failing spectacularly. Freshly cloning a 15 GB repo over DSL is bad, bad news.
- rkischuk: @vi_jedi Strange. Well whatever you do, don't try a Rails 3 upgrade. Very bad things happened... Arch community is frustratingly small.
