java.net Communities

JavaOne 2006: java.net Community Corner: The java.net Community Corner 2006 wiki page is the home for planning java.net's presence at JavaOne 2006. We'll be offering a space for communities and projects to get together and learn about each other's activity. The community corner will once again be host to 20-minute mini-talks, and this year we will also be distributing papers and abstracts from the mini-talks at the booth. You can use the wiki to propose a mini-talk, volunteer to work at the booth, and (soon) upload pictures for our java.net slideshow.
