I still think killing off JavaOne would be a big step backwards. Sure there was plenty to fix with JavaOne last year -- but much of this boiled down to Sun not having made much progress since the last JavaOne due to lack of resources.
I too think Java would just be lost in OpenWorld. I also think a lot of Java developers simply won't come as they won't be that interested in the rest of OpenWorld. This could be a real boon for any/all other Java conferences, though. -- Jess Holle Casper Bang wrote: > Conferences these days seems to follow the same trend as languages, > spreading out and encapsulating similar and even competitive stuff.
