Sun SPOT Wireless Sensor Devices Presentation and Demonstrations
Eric Arseneau, a Lead Researcher at Sun Microsystems (and former Smalltalker), has offered to come in an show us a demonstration of the Sun SPOT Wireless Sensor devices on Wednesday morning next week (October 4, 2006) at 10:00 am.
Eric’s main area of research is in the Squawk VM technology. He promises to show us how he makes every attempt to be IDE agnostic.
If you’re interested and will be in the Ottawa area on October 4th, drop me a line to let me know you want to attend. Space will be limited. Contact me by either adding a comment to this blog entry or by sending me an email (I’m the only person named “wayne” at “eclipse.org”).

At the last NL-JUG J-Fall (Dutch Java User groep mini conference) Angela M. Caicedo from Sun demonstrated Spot technology during the keynote and gave a solid session later on about the technology:

Imagine the reaction of a bunch of Java geeks to a girl like Angela talking tech.
