@Madhugr: I was putting my views here but it turned out to be pretty big. So I decided to add a little more masala and post on my blog.

Let me ask you one thing – by the look of it, SUN is not doing a good job in terms of revenues or market share. From your experience in these sessions, is there a novel technology/strategy that SUN is planning to introduce which will result in a turnaround of their fortunes?

What will stop say a IBM to buy out SUN?

Looks like a repeat telecast of “Sun Tech Days – Hyderabad” (with some changed faces).

There’s one thing I realized during the conf that these conferences are mostly targeted towards the *naive junta* from colleges with a motive to attract them towards Java and related technologies as early as possible. Obviously the winning-by-building-community strategy is in play. (Not to mention the role of free stuff )
And quite honestly, I am NOT REALLY complaining.. (okay a little).

I am also reminded of a funny incident during STD-Hyd. I didn’t feel like attending the Oracle Keynote session on Day2 and was roaming around to find a place to work on my lappy. This lady (one of the organizers) comes up and says, “Excuse me. I suppose your session is going on…”.
WTH! :-/

I just hope that they come up with some OBVIOUS improvements with the consecutive confs. [or may be organize an altogether separate conf/summit for developers]
