Van Riper contacted me about this Wednesday's Bay Area JUG Roundup 2010. The roundup will take place at the Oracle Conference Center in Redwood City, CA, from 6 to 9 PM, Pacific time. As I write this post, there are still 116 tickets available. The event is free for JUG members. However, registration is required.

As Van points out in his post about the event, the "J" in JUG really stands for "JVM" today -- JUG meetings are for anyone who works with or is interested in languages that run on a JVM. Course, that opens up the question: what does the "J" in JVM stand for today? Hmm...

Anyway, back to Wednesday's event! So, what's on the agenda?

• 6:00 - 7:00: Networking (food and beer)
• 7:00 - 7:45: Sonya Barry on java.net migration
• 7:45 - 9:00: Break
• 8:00 - 9:00: Java Posse podcast

Two of those who attend will walk away with a free JavaOne pass; two other people will receive a Kindle with O'Reilly and Pearson ebooks preloaded; seven people will receive technical books; and all who attend will receive an Oracle Technology Network t-shirt.

If you're not able to attend, you can still participate via a live streamcast of the event.
