CommunityDay At A Glance

The General Session features Keynote presentations and announcements. Light lunch is included, and the community reception is rumored to be a big party. There are demo tables going in parallel with the presentations.

The sessions are roughly organized into tracks although topics like GlassFish are present in many tracks. We encourage you to register your interest in the GlassFish track just for room allocation purposes. The GF Overview and Roadmap session should be of general interest.
