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...

Polls: Java on the Desktop, and JavaOne
Due primarily to JavaOne, the last java.net poll, which asked "What's your view of Java on the desktop?" ran for 11 days instead of the standard one week period. I was quite busy during JavaOne, and people were continuing to vote and post comments to the poll, so I let it stay open.
The poll drew 578 votes, much more than most recent polls. And 7 interesting comments were posted. The final results were:
What's your view of Java on the desktop?
15% (88 votes) - It's still alive and vibrant
39% (224 votes) - It's suffering due to Sun/Oracle's mismanagement
11% (65 votes) - It's down, but will rise again
8% (44 votes) - It's become irrelevant due to smartphones, iPad, etc.
16% (95 votes) - Java on the desktop is dead
1% (8 votes) - Other
9% (54 votes) - I don't know
New poll: JavaOne?
Our new poll asks Is JavaOne still the most important Java-centric conference? Voting will be open until a week from Monday (so we can get back onto our normal schedule of having a new poll every Monday).
