Hello again - First, my sincere apologies for not making it clear in the first announcement that the Oct 14 meeting focussing on Java is being held in the bay area of California. Next, feel free to speak up for speaker slots if you're so inclined. I was surprised no one wrote in to ask for speaker slots although a lot of people wrote in to ask for more details on where the meeting was and others wrote in to chastise me (correctly) for being so bayAreaCentric. Saturday Oct 14 Time: 12 noon - 6 p.m. Place: Sparcy's cafeteria, building 21, Sun Microsystems Mountain View, California AgendaSoFar: 12 - 12:15 - Settle in, have a bagel 12:15 - 12:45 - Overview of Java/HotJava 12:45 - 2:00 - Java Security Model, Sami Shaio, Java group, Sun 2:00 - 3:00 - discussion, Q&A, open mike 3:00 - 3:30 - break 3:30 - 4:30 - Jcrypt, Doug Barnes, Amanda Chou 4:30 - 6:00 - TBD Directions: Take 101 to Amphitheater Parkway. Turn left onto Garcia, and drive about 1/2 mile and turn onto the first genuine side street which is named Marina Way. Drive about 1/4 mile and look for a right hand turn onto Coast. Building 21 will be on your left. It's on the corner of Coast and Marina Way. There's plenty of parking there. Internet: I'm trying to arrange to get a computer connected to the net in that room so that we can set up MBONE, but I don't know if that will be possible or not. Enough people wrote in to say that they'd like to hear a bit about Java and HotJava (and how Netscape is using Java) to convince me it would be a good idea to start off with setting some context. See you on Saturday! Should be fun. Marianne mrm@netcom.com mrm@eng.sun.com
