Although my personal opinion is that DSTC was not a successful endeavor, I will restate an earlier opinion/question: where is Australian (IT) Research?

Well…no…dont get me started. Really!
Oh wow! Look what else the cleaning uncovered: a genuine JavAus98 bag!
I had a hand in organising and presenting at both JavAus98 and JavAus99. Although these events have both faded from memory (they cant even be found at the wayback machine), they were fun. Java was ‘new’ and ‘buzzing’ and was about to change the IT world as we knew it ( ;-) )…
