Frankly, I don't see we have enough information for commenting. First, I don't trust rumors; second, what's in a name (apart nostalgic stuff, of course)? Third, you're assuming that OpenWorld will stay as is and it's not necessarily true. I presume whatever the conference will be named, it won't be just like the past year (well, current year) OpenWorld. Also, there's probably no meaning for a corporate such as Oracle to keep two distinct conference. My only regret is that I missed this year J1 and it could have been the last J1. Also, I don't like cold weather and I preferred to fly to San Francisco in Summer :-) (I'm not talking of the weather in downtown, of course, which is presumably constant). On the other side, I've never been in California in fall, and it would open interesting photo opportunities :-) -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
