SD INVESTMENT CLUB Christian Gross Thursday, March 6 | 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM The SD Investment Club is an informal meeting of people who want to talk about investing in the market. The meeting is not about getting rich quick or discussing what the “talking heads” have said you should do. The meeting is about strategy, ideas and coming up with ideas that everybody can share. The meeting will be hosted by Christian Gross and will be structured as such: Discussion of current events and how they could affect your investment strategy; general investment questions (for example, options, option strategies); and an open session for questions and comments. Market involvement isn’t a requirement for attending. This BoF is open to all. LET'S FORK! HACKING THE JDK Elliotte Rusty Harold Thursday, March 6 | 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Now that Sun has open sourced Java, how do we take advantage of that? Can/should we explore language variants? What bugs can we fix? What libraries can we replace? And just how do we redistribute all this without running afoul of Sun's lawyers? This will be a brainstorming session to kick off some serious fun and maybe even useful work with Java. www.sdexpo.com SD WEST 2008 CONFERENCE & EXPO http://www.sdexpo.com
