I've been discussing a talk with Leon, tentatively entitled "Through
The Looking Glass" - basically an account of what I found in the years
I've been spending a lot of time with Java & JVM technology and

I could do either the technical or community aspects - both are IMO
very interesting and provide, in many ways, very different
perspectives (but also some surprising similarities).
