Thank you, Raffaello, for the kind encouragement.  I am most grateful to the people who have joined us here and helped us explore and even create new futures for the JVM.

We will have to wait to see what the coming weeks and months bring.  I'm reading the same interesting messages that you are, but it would not be wise for me to try to expound on them at this point, except to say that those messages have personally encouraged me, and made me eager to move forward.

Here's a relevant webcast featuring my VP Jeet Kaul:
