[PJUG Javamail] Good news/bad news on JavaOne papers...

[Douglas Bullard]

I got some good news today - the paper I submitted to JavaOne was  
accepted!  "Object-Oriented Ant Scripts for the Enterprise"  will be  
presented in all it's glory this June at JavaOne in San Francisco,  
before an audience of fellow Java dudes.

The bad news?  I actually have to present the thing now.  You know how  
they say to imagine your audience naked?  In my version, it's me  
that's naked, presenting something to people far more intelligent than  
I am, and more knowledgeable about the subject matter.  Q&A will be  
pure torture.  Of course, this is a revised version of what I've  
already presented to PJUG, and I survived that (never mind the  
experience of seeing you all naked.  It wasn't pretty.).

Of course, the good part is that I get a free conference pass (much $$ 
$), and there's a good chance I can guilt my company into ponying up  
airfare PTO, meals, and hotel.

Thanks to everyone who helped me shape my abstract and outline (and  
reshape it again and again) into something worth submitting.

Now I gotta get working on the real thing....
