I'd love to. And the topic would be something like Java is not a proprietary language: and here's the proof: Classpath, IKVM, Jaos, Kaffe, Wonka, ... However, frankly I suspect that the JavaPolis agenda is set by their sponsors, and that some of these would not want to hear such a talk. So let's by all means propose a paper or two for next year (like I already did this year) _and then_ if it is refused, just convene our own alternative conference at a nearby location. In the meantime, is there anything planned for FOSDEM? E.g., an open-source Java track? This could be an opportunity the thesis that the future of Java lies with us, not with S*n.
