Happy New Year everybody and may this be a healthy and great Java year !!

I've already received different mails from JavaPolians asking when the streams will be available, so here's an update.

The encoding of the presentations is going full-force ahead and hopefully we'll be able to make them all available around end of January.

The JavaPolis streams will be hosted by JavaLobby where a special dedicated JavaPolis-JavaLobby presentation page is being developed by Matt Schmidt. The setup will be as follows, JavaPolians who are already logged in on the JavaPolis wiki can access these JP presentation directly from our wiki without re-authenticating. New visitors can either signup on the JP wiki or go directly to the JavaLobby site where you can signup. Visitors surfing directly to the JavaLobby site will see a JavaPolis opt-out checkbox, this will (when checked) automatically create a JavaPolis confluence user so they also become a JavaPolis citizen

Each JavaPolis presentation page will have a hyper-link to the spreakers bio, abstract and related pictures. Visitors will also be able to discuss the talk, ask questions or leave comments. A download link to the slides will of course also be available.

Let me know if you've any additional suggestions or ideas...

Happy New Year !!!
