Subject: Call for speakers -- 2012 JVM Language Summit
To: Da Vinci Machine Project <mlvm...@openjdk.java.net>


=== CALL FOR SPEAKERS -- JVM LANGUAGE SUMMIT, July 2012 ===

Dear colleague;

We are pleased to announce the 2012 JVM Language Summit to be held at
Oracle's Santa Clara campus on July 30 - Aug 1, 2012. Registration is now
open for speaker submissions (presentations and workshops) and will be
opening for general attendance shortly. Speaker registration will
close on May 18, 2012, and general registration will open on May 7.

The JVM Language Summit is an open technical collaboration among
language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime
engineers, and VM architects. We will share our experiences as
creators of programming languages for the JVM and of the JVM itself.
We also welcome non-JVM developers on similar technologies to attend
or speak on their runtime, VM, or language of choice.

The format this year will be similar to previous years; we've divided the
schedule equally between traditional presentations and "Workshops".
Workshops are informal, facilitated discussion groups among smaller,
self-selected participants, and should enable "deeper dives" into the
subject matter.  If there is interest, there will also be impromptu
"lightning talks".

We encourage speakers to submit both a presentation and a workshop; we
will arrange to schedule the presentation before the workshop, so that
the presentation can spark people's interest and the workshop will
allow those who are really interested to go deeper into the subject
area. Workshop facilitators may, but are not expected to, prepare
presentation materials, but they should come prepared to guide a deep
technical discussion.

The Summit is being organized by language and JVM engineers; no
marketers involved! So bring your slide rules and be prepared for some
seriously geeky discussions.

The registration page is now open at:

https://www.regonline.com/2012jvmlanguagesummit

For further information, see www.jvmlangsummit.com, or send inquiries
to inq...@jvmlangsummit.com.

We hope to see you in July!

I was thinking about making an invokedynamic workshop in which you show
the API, how to use it and several examples, pitfalls and maybe some
tricks in a hands-on fashion. But because I never did one before I was
wondering if you Charles or Remi or somebody else would be interested in
helping. Unless you guys think it is to much beginner stuff, then tell
me and I will do it either alone or not at all ;)

bye Jochen

That's actually a great idea...for everyone who has not used
invokedynamic by then, a workshop that basically just has a bunch of
indy "experts" working through examples would be awesome.

Honestly, if J1 proposals weren't closed I'd say we should do a group
indy talk there too.

Jochen~

I would suggest doing it as one of the more focused workshops instead of as a general talk for the whole assembly.

It is.  Reading error on my part.

Apologies,

I like this idea.
Let the community propose the examples,
so users of this list, what are the examples we should present.
