Widening your World: Brazil's contingent here at JavaOne has always been very visible. Some of the Brazilian attendees proudly wear their country's flag like a cape and they all cheer wildly when one of their members is recognized. I've been corresponding with Daniel de Oliviera, coordinator of the brasilia Java users group. Their JUG is the second largest in the world with more than 6300 members. I'm interested in making our site more friendly to those for whom English is not a first language and I am very interested in including voices from many countries on Java Today.

From the Trenches: Like most of the folks writing weblogs here, I've been doing JavaOne since I was a little whippersnapper. Unlike most of the folks, though, I'm no longer an engineer, having had the pointy-hair transplant to management some years ago. So I've gone the circle from junior engineer, staffing a booth and answering questions, on to speaking in front of a huge crowd in the Big Room as an established engineer, to, well... staffing a booth and answering questions. But I do get a glimpse behind the scenes that most of the people coming to JavaOne don't have to opportunity to experience.
