James Gosling loves JavaPolis

This morning, before the JavaOne keynote (Day II), I gave a personal copy of the JavaPolis DVD box to Mr. Java himself, James Gosling.

During last years JavaPolis he actually asked some people at Sun Belgium to provide him a JavaPolis t-shirt, James confirmed he had received this killer t-shirt and told me he really liked it! Of course I run around with my personal JavaPolis t-shirt on and James started showing my back to different Sun execs... really funny.

In return, and as an extention to the JavaPolis theme of last year, James gave me a small match-box-folded carbon box gift with the title "Compatibility Matters" printed on it. The actual content was a Java condom. However Sun Microsystems logo was not printed on the box, maybe I need to unfold the content for that

Of course I've asked James if he would be interested to speak again at this years JavaPolis, he told me to drop him an email and he would verify if his agenda would let him. But we do have his blessing, so from now onwards JavaPolis is backed by James Gosling
