Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Poll Result: Conference Technical Sessions Considered Most Valuable
A majority of voters in this past week's java.net poll consider technical sessions the most valuable type of technical conference session. A total of 111 people voted in the poll, which asked What type of technical conference sessions are most valuable? Here are the full results:
5% (5 votes) - Keynote addresses
3% (3 votes) - Panel sessions
59% (65 votes) - Technical sessions
10% (11 votes) - BOF (birds of a feather) sessions
3% (3 votes) - Other
22% (24 votes) - I don't know
In an interesting comment, nopjn disagreed with the majority:
I answered this question with JavaOne in mind. That's why I answered "keynote" (I may be the only one), because, IMHO, technical sessions are useless for me. I prefer a good doc or written tutorial. And if those are missing, I shouldn't use the product/API in the first place. Furthermore, what I really want to learn in those conferences are the global company strategy, vision and road-map. Will I finally get my properties/binding in Java with my nice lambdas so that I can use my open source JavaFX effectively :) ?
