+1 wow, this is why I like ApacheCon you always come up with new ideas inspired by people/activities you meet/attend there.
To take some real action though, lets start listing the examples we want to make Lightning Demos for. Dear OpenEJBers, would you please for each one of you reply on this e-mail thread with points he/she would like to made a Lightning Demo for, so I can make a Wiki page with each one of them and then when each demo is completed we add links to it on both the OpenEJB site and Wiki. Looking forward your replies :).
