JCP EC, Java ME and IoT etc

[Martijn Verburg]

The adoptopenjdk.java.net site has some downloads/presentations on how to
run a hackday.  As it's London based simply organise through the London
Java Community (I know you're a member :-)).  Most London based devs aren't
that aware of IoT yet, there was a great Bricklets session earlier this
year but that's about it.

I'd make sure that you have devices or at least emulators ready for people
to play with and a definitive goal "Get hello world to play over a speaker"
or whatever.

Cheers,
Martijn
