We missed you greatly!  Every major Java vendor except IBM was there.

I will shortly post the notes from those sessions (Friday night's very  
long dinner).

Yes.  The present EG list distribution, though, is inconveniently  
closed.  As EG chair I'm supposed to redirect selected messages to the  
observer list, but that's ridiculously hit-or-miss.  The mail needs to  
be automatic, since I personally am not automatic by nature.

I understand we can't move to OpenJDK because it's not IP-neutral.   
Shall we move instead to Doug Lea's email server, which has no  
licensing at all?  That way people can monitor our deliberations.   
I'll bet Doug would welcome us, and he already hosts some JCP lists.
