What I propose to do is host a one-day Enerjy event in conjunction
with the Cape Town Java User Group (if you are interested of course!).
With your recommendation, I would hire a location for the day, arrange
food and drink, etc. for the attendees and prepare an agenda with
speakers, including our technical specialist introducing the Enerjy
offerings to the group. I would also look to do an evening event to
finish the day off.
We'd be looking to host the event around the end of August.
I'd like your advice on potential speakers, currently, Rod Johnson of
the Spring Framework, Kirk Pepperdine and Jack Shirazi of
PerformanceTuning.com (and author of Java Performance Tuning 1st and
2nd Edition) and Heinz Kabutz of Maximum Solutions all have
partnerships with us - I would look to invite them as guest speakers
to the event, budget allowing - are these names familiar in the South
African Java market?

It would be great to get Rod Johnson to talk.
What does everyone think?
