Java Champions:

I'm excited to let you know that the "Java Road Trip: Code to Coast" tour begins next Monday, June 14!

Basically we have stuffed a rock-star bus full of demos and are taking them on the road, stopping in 20 US cities over the next couple of months. Some of these stops coincide with JUG meet-ups or other events, and there will be food, beer, and free stuff. We'll also have engineers from HQ flying out to several of these stops to speak on various subjects. (For example, Octavian Tanase kicks things off on Monday in New York.)

Obviously a relative handful of people will actually see the bus in person, so we also have a blogger/videographer/photo on board to report on all the goings-on. It's going to be fun!

The schedule is listed below, with the closest event in Dallas on July 20th.
