Which is exactly why I actually would prefer, that given limited resources,
we leave PLC's on the backburner and continue to focus on the wide-fan
opportunity that triggered this group.

I think this wide-fan opportunity has all the hallmarks of the sort of
opportunity that disruptive technologies, and smaller more dynamic companies
stand a real chance of beating out the establishment into.

I already see it around me and am very keen for us as a group to 'close the
loop' and demonstrate the data-hopping between the layers of the java stack
that is emerging here by focusing as directly as possible on how data is
pushed between the layers all the way back to the J2EE database from the
internet fingers which may terminate at a JStamp/TINI/uVM device and ideally
be able to plug these together to build at least a thin channel back to
base.

When is JavaOne again?
