JavaOne 2006: SYS-CON's Yakov Fain Named "Java Champion"

Yakov Fain, Ajit Sagar, Joe Winchester, Michael Yuan, Bill Dudney, and Rick Hightower Converge on San Francisco

SYS-CON.TV is in attendance at JavaOne in San Francisco this week, as ever. As are six of the editors who bring you Java Developer's Journal each month, such as Yakov Fain (pictured during a SYS-CON.TV interview) who has been selected as one of this year's "Java Champions" and Joe Winchester who for the second year running has been invited to be a member of the star-studded Desktop Panel.

Ajit SagarMichael Yuan, Rick Hightower and Bill Dudney will also be there - and all six will appear on SYS-CON.TV along with Jeremy Geelan, SYS-CON Media's group publisher and editorial director, and Roger Strukhoff, SYS-CON Media's West Coast Bureau Chief.

Sun's goal for the "Java Champions" project is to build a community of representative Java leaders with whom Sun could have conversations with about the state of the Java Platform, so Fain's appointment is especially significant for Java Developer's Journal. Sun sponsors this project through certain administative functions, but the community is free to elect its own members. Sun's engineers are also participating in dialogues with the Java Champions through the project's private mailing lists.

Other panelists on the Desktop Panel that Winchester is guesting on are Sun's Hans Muller, Chet Haase and Scott Violet - plus Karsten Lentzsch of JGoodies and Ben Galbraith, author of several Java-related books.

If like me you like scripting technologies and in particular Groovy and Grails, JavaOne 2006 will be a very good moment to learn more about it.
