[osol-mktg] Re: [osol-discuss] Re: OpenSolaris sessions at JavaOne

[Sara Dornsife]

This is a work in progress, but the day will start at 10:30 and go 
through an evening reception that starts at 6pm.

There is a keynote for the entire day that does include NetBeans - and 
other Sun open source projects.

I do not have information on badges, but I will share when I get it. For 
example, I don't know what badge if any you need to get into this.

We also have a pod in the Sun booth during the regular JavaOne. If 
anyone would like to volunteer for that, we'd love the help.
