Greetings community members! Here is something that I'm sure you'll find interesting.
I want to advertise the upcoming "VM tech day” event, scheduled to take place February 2, 2015 at the JFokus conference in Stockholm. Sorry I am on a bit of a short notice here, but finalizing the speaker list took us a bit more time than expected. The VM tech day is a mini-track that runs the first day of the JFokus conference. This is its schedule: https://www.jfokus.se/jfokus/jvmtech.jsp After some rather challenging months of jigsaw puzzles, it is with great pleasure that I can announce that our speaker line up is now complete - and it is great indeed! We are talking 100% gurus, prophets, ninjas, rock stars, and all other similar terms that normally gets your resume binned if it passes my desk. But in this case the labels are true. We have strictly top names from both the commercial world and from academia ready to take you on a great ride. So what is the VM tech day? For those of you familiar with the JVM Language Summit (JVMLS) that usually takes place in Santa Clara in the summers, the format is similar. It’s the usual deal: anyone morbidly interested in runtime internals, code generation, polyglot programming and the complexities of language implementation, should find a veritable gold mine of stimulating conversation and knowledge transfer here. What is different from a typical JVMLS (except for the shorter duration), is that we have widened the scope a bit to include several runtimes, language implementation issues and polyglot problems. There will be six scheduled sessions and plenty of time for breakouts and discussions. We will also heavily encourage audience interaction and participation. The JFokus VM tech day is opened by John Rose. I am sure John needs no introduction to the subscribers of this list. With advanced OpenJDK projects like Valhalla and Panama booting up, John will discuss what the JVM has in store for the future. Other speakers include the tireless Charlie Nutter from Red Hat, the formidable Remi Forax, the brilliant Vyacheslav Egorov of Google v8 fame, the esteemed Dan Heidinga from IBM and the good looking Attila Szegedi from Oracle. We also have plenty of non-speaking celebrity participants in the audience, for example Fredrik Öhrström: invokedynamic specification wizard extraordinaire and architect behind the new OpenJDK build system. Stop by and get autographs ;) Thusly: if you are attending JFokus, or if you are making up your mind about attending it right now, the VM tech summit is definitely something anyone subscribing to mlvm-dev wouldn't want to miss. The cross-platform/cross-technology/cross-company focus that we have tried very hard to create will without a doubt be ultra stimulating. Of that you can be sure. Please help us spread the word in whatever forums you deem appropriate! Talk to you friends! Tweet links to this post! Yell from your cubicle soap boxes across the neverending seas of fluorescent lights! Any further questions you may have about the event, not answered by the web pages, can be directed either to me (@lagergren) or Mattias Karlsson (@matkar) or as replies to this e-mail thread.
