Open source project to learn JDK 8 features.

[Kon Soulianidis]

Hi Graham

At the next MelbJVM meetup (http://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-Java-JVM-Users-Group/events/140852482/) we are going to do a Lambda workshop.  This is based on the Lambda programming lab given at JavaOne by Stuart Marks, Simon Ritter, Angela Caceido and Maurice Naufalin.  http://stuartmarks.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/javaone-2013-has-begun 

I'll also take a look at yours and see what we can incorporate.

Thank you for sharing.
