This year OW2 will be participating in JaVoxx. If you never heard of JaVoxx, suffice to say it's the new name of the JavaPolis event.

December 8-12, 2008 at the Metropolis in Antwerp, Belgium. See more on the JaVoxx web site.

OW2 has signed for a Medium sponsorship.

We are convinced the OW2 community has interesting technology to show to DeVoxx attendees, we launched an internal call for papers. The enthusiastic response allowed us to send a list of 21 abstracts from the OW2 community. We also suggested the JaVoxx organizers to set up an OW2 track (or at least an open source track as JavaOne had last May) we'd be happy to discuss and help with.
