the registration instructions will be posted on this Sun JUGs Program

https://jugs.dev.java.net/sunjugprogram/events-visits.html

You don't want to miss this event. So, please save the date on your
calendars now. This event is being promoted by several local Java
developer groups. I highly recommend signing up right at noon on the
day that the registration instructions are posted online. This event
will fill up quickly and there will *not* be a waiting list.

Agenda
* 5:45-6:30pm Arrive & mingle
-- Pizza & Sodas provided by Sun Microsystems
* 6:30-6:45pm Announcements & Introductions
* 6:45-8:30pm The Feel of Java, Revisited by James Gosling

James Gosling will revisit the topic of his 1997 article entitled "The
feel of Java" that was published in Computer, the flagship magazine of
the IEEE Computer Society. This topic is particularly relevant in the
context of the vigorous debate currently surrounding the various
proposals for adding closures to the Java Language. We anticipate
having both Neal Gafter and Joshua Bloch in attendance as well. At the
conclusion of James' talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A where
the current closures controversy will almost certainly come up.

Thanks
