Wish I was there. But currently I am "trapped" in old-Europe. Audrius and I gave presentations in Zwitserland and Germany this month. Audrius setup a page on our wiki where you can find those and some other presentation/promotion material that you should feel free to reuse: http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathPresentations There is also our support document which, although a bit dated, is nice because the PDF version can be printed as a 3 page handout and shows how important Compatibility, Correctness and Completeness is for our efforts (something which seems to always be a big theme with the JavaOne crowd): http://developer.classpath.org/support/ And I recently wrote a paper on the current state and GNU/Linux packaging challenges which you can find at: http://www.klomp.org/mark/classpath/lt2006/paper.html Hope some of that material is useful. And GNU Classpath 0.91 "One for All, All for One" was release yesterday: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/announce/20060515.html It is already included in Debian unstable and OpenSuse will hopefully follow today. To give a quick demo you can also just install a recent Ubuntu or Fedora release and show native gcj compiled eclipse, tomcat, openoffice, etc. Have fun, Mark -- Escape the Java Trap with GNU Classpath! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html Join the community at http://planet.classpath.org/
