The Java Posse

Roundup 2007 Session - Forking Open Source Java Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com This is one of a series of sessions recorded at the Java Posse Roundup conference, 2007. Audio in this series was recorded using a simple mic setup to record the whole room, so quality may not be as high as a normal "studio" recording. The sessions are being released in no particular order. While pains have been taken to remove any inappropriate material, there is a chance that some may have been missed, however this should not be common.

Re-produced with kind permission from "Loose" Bruce Kerr - http://www.loosebrucekerr.com Closing - "Africa (About Face)" by Butterflies and Zebras - Norm Howard and Steve Northover (Steve was interviewed about SWT recently) Comment from Steve Northover - If you check http://www.onmusic.com/nands (the slowest site in the world), some of the fractals and many of the mp3's I gave you are now available there. For "Africa (About Face)", my acoustic is tuned in this great EEEEBE tuning. Norm is playing his electric through his 100W Marshall stack clean. It's a straight forward song (something we don't do too much). I'm using a delay pedal and not much else. Bet you can't even hear it much. That's the interesting thing about guitar effects. When used tastefully, they become organic rather than "in your face". It's an art to sneak them in rather than just click them on and everyone goes, "Oh listen, he just clicked in the flanger".

Previously Un-Aired Interviews from Topcoder and Java One Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com - This is a pair of previously un-aired interviews. The first was recorded by Joe, Carl and Dick at TopCoder with Ari Balogh, Vice President of Engineering for Verisign Inc. It is a short but technically meaty interview. The second was a wrap-up of Java One with John and Melinda Weathers of NewEnergy Associates (co-workers of Dick) about their experiences at what was their first Java One. The quality of both interviews is a product of the recording location - the first, while clear, has a certain amount of background noise, since it was recorded in the TopCoder arena. The second was recorded in a San Francisco hotel after Java One and the sounds of the San Francisco streets is quite prominent. Treat these as adding a little ambience to the interviews :-).
