Java 7 Launch

If we have to do a commercial with it, inspired by a well-known one, it will be like: "Java...probably the best programming language in the world."

Java reached to the 7'th version in 2011, Java User Group Sibiu couldn't missed it and prepared a presentation as special as the event itself on Monday, September 5, 2011. Dalibor Topic, Java F/OSS Ambassador at Oracle was the special guest for this event and made us the official presentation of Java 7 launch.

Few details about Dalibor, he lives in Hamburg, Germany, and works as Java F/OSS Ambassador for Oracle. He joined the OpenJDK project in order to help make it a successful open source project, and stayed for anchoring Java in Linux distributions, and as an all around Java F/OSS community guy. He joined the Java strategy team at Oracle to help provide community feedback into the long-term strategy planning.

Java 7 launch ended as being a great event, with positive feedback from both sides. Dalibor liked Sibiu JUG and was pleasantly impressed by our evolution and on the other side, the attendees gave positive feedback, everybody considering this event as a very good and useful one.

Photos from the event can be found on Sibiu JUG Picasa Album.

Many thanks to our partners who have helped us in organizing this event: Oracle, Pentalog and Faculty of Science (ULBS).
