The eagle-eared of you may have noticed a new feature at the beginning of the Java Posse this episode - a chance for you to sing your own Karaoke version of the Java Jing Jing theme song.

In truth it is missing because I was in a hurry and hit the export track rather than export all tracks option in audacity, and I didn't notice the problem until too late. I could fix it, but Tor and I decided that it would be quite fun to leave it as it is. The music is missing from the end of this one as well.

Perhaps we could put the idea out there that the silence is protesting something :-). The whole Eircom thing sounds like a good excuse. Solidarity brothers.

Anyway, normal service will be resumed in the next podcast, for now - enjoy your singing.

200 Episodes of the Java Posse

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

A look back at the first 200 (ish) episodes of the Java Posse

WARNING: This podcast is LONG, and it does not cover any Java news. You have been warned! We ran to about 1 hour 45 minutes and had a blast. This episode will be particularly useful to you if you have not listened to all of our episodes, since we discuss milestones, interviewees, highlights and other standout material you might not have heard before.

In particular, many of the interviews we have done in the past are still relevant today, and cover information people have been asking for recently!

We have provided links to the interviews and roundup sessions below. For links to other episodes please look on the right side of the Java Posse site - http://javaposse.com - where our archives are organized by month, or use the search (top right) to find an episode number or subject.

This is the last time a BASE announcement will appear on the JavaPosse site, but we are just getting going and I missed the chance to talk about it in the last podcast because we were still sorting out a room.

The next BASE (Bay Area Scala Enthusiasts) meeting will take place on June 10th in Kazan, Building 40, at the Googleplex in Mountain View. We are going to meet in the lobby of building 40 at 6.15pm and sign everyone in to get started at 6.30pm. We have a large board room now, which should be more conducive to talk and hacking (and should have enough power outlets for people to bring their laptops). This will be the first real BASE meeting (i.e. one where we actually talk about Scala), and there is no set agenda. Come with ideas, questions and a willingness to learn.

Future meetings will be held in the same location and same time on the second Tuesday of each month.

Also, please consider subscribing to the Google group for updates:

http://groups.google.com/group/scala-base

Thanks

Dick

Just a quick note to say that all of the sessions were recorded from the Roundup and will be released soon as podcasts. I am still working through the details of how to release them (bandwidth being the major consideration, and also not saturating the regular podcast channel - it is likely there will be a second channel just for the roundup sessions). Links and notes will accompany the episodes.

The quality is perfectly audible for the sessions but will not be as good as regular Posse episodes - rather than encumber people with microphones and speaking orders, the recorders were just placed in the middle of the room to pick up whatever was said (plus some ambient noise).

Anyway - rest assured that every session we recorded will go out as a podcast and we have no interest in holding them back. Any delay will be due to a combination of available bandwidth and my time in processing the audio to enhance the quality as much as possible.

Thanks

Dick
