Personally, spite energizes me and I won't let the asshats up top take my passion for Java away. In fact, I'm happy to be speaking at a number of JUGs in the next weeks:

* Apr 1st: Boulder
* 2nd: Denver
* 7th: Kansas
* 8th: Dallas
* 9th: Austin

Looking forward to catching up with you all!

As for what this means for Java, the loss of our former colleagues' expertise and drive will surely be felt. But at the same time, the vast majority remain and I'm confident that they will push forward. I wouldn't be surprised if morale took a hit, but am positive that it will be temporary.

Among other people, @Sharat_Chander was kicked out.

Thank you for all your contributions to the #Java community, Shar. You have been shepherding it for a quarter century and, if you're up for it, I hope you get to keep doing just that for years to come.

As a German, I don't use the word "friend" lightly, but you are just that - my friend. πŸ«‚

What happened yesterday at Oracle is a disgrace. None of these people deserved to get fired and even less so in the soulless way it was done. I'm sure nobody in Java's leadership wanted this to happen and that they fought tooth and nail to minimize the impact.

And yet, here we are...

JavaOne is over, the real value for me was the hallway track.
Talking to the people who build Java. Hearing how things actually work and where things are going. You don’t get that online.

Big thanks to Sharat Chander, Chad Arimura and the whole DevRel team.

I gave two talks on the Java ecosystem and showed how tools like OpenRewrite, Vaadin and EclipseStore help you move forward.

Next chance to continue these conversations:
