Java at OSCON

O'Reilly's OSCON is going on this week, and despite the O'Reillian fetish for languages that start with the letter P, there will be a number of Java-related sessions, including Java SE Chief Engineer Mark Reinhold reviewing the first eight months of OpenJDK.

O'Reilly himself (Tim, not the falafel fetishest) opens the conference by discussing what he calls the six (mutually perpendicular?) axes of Open Source: license, architecture, reusability, remixability, control, and community, or as Larry Wall (who will be there once again exploiting audiences' tendency to mistake him for Weird Al Yankovic) would probably truncate them: License, Architecture, Reusability, Remixability, and Yaddayadda. The Axes of Larry!

Or not. Other Java sessions at OSCON will apparently address everything including the kitchen sink.
