Today is the last day for JavaOne proposals, and we're really hoping to 
get some "real" rubyists showing these Java guys how it's done. Right 
now we've got some basic proposals for a Ruby language/classes/libraries 
intro, a JRuby/Java integration talk, various deployment talks for 
different servers, GUI and Graphics talks, and hopefully we'll get 
someone from Rails core to do a Rails talk. But what are we missing? Do 
you have a talk or know someone with a really convincing talk that would 
help win over some of the Java masses?

At any rate, if you have anything you'd like to present to a big room 
(our JRuby talks have been in a room that seats 1500), stop by 
http://java.sun.com/javaone/ and give it a shot. There's a whole world 
of developers there (15k people at JavaOne last year) that really need 
to learn Ruby.
