I’m sitting at the opening session of the Atlanta Java Users’ Group with pretty much all of our development team. The schedule came out late, and the number of breakout sessions is down from last year, so I’m not sure we’ll benefit from sending 7 people, but we’ll see.

They appear to have accidental wireless access, courtesy of some local cafe. Access to power outlets also looks limited, but our IT folks set me up with a new massive battery for my Thinkpad, so it may be alright.

I probably won’t live-blog each session, but I’ll try and cover some highlights – last year, Sun let slip that they were going to free Java Studio Creator, so there may be some interesting tidbits to come.
