I vote for the JRuby DSLs presentation. I attended a couple of Brian's Hibernate presentations at NFJS last summer. He's an excellent speaker, BTW.

As I've mentioned before, I liked Groovy from a distance but I found it to be frustrating to use. My experience with Ruby was the opposite -- blah at first, but I quickly came to love it.

I think Groovy's greatest strength and weakness is it's closeness to Java. My prediction is that in five years (ten years, too) Ruby will still be far more popular than Groovy, but maybe something else will overrun both. (I'll take lunch bets on Ruby vs. Groovy at the next JUG meeting! :))

Re getting together for a group discount for NFJS in Phoenix, count me in.
