Acism's Java team attended the PCQuest Sun summit last week. I have a few impressions at fifty thousand feet level to share:

1. Sun is becoming even more open. Matt Thompson, Sr Director who looks after Sun's open source program gave a very balanced view. Sun is also releasing its JVM source code under open source licence.
2. Childish Microsoft-bashing was absent. Highly mature views were presented about Sun's strategy of living in the world as it is. This will take Java a long way.
