DevJam Arrival
This place is crazy! 40 people in one big room. Everybody behind laptops. Sleeping-bags everywhere.
Prelimenary schedule below (It will probably change completely, first reaction was that there must be more package hacking).
If you didn’t make it to Oldenburg, please join the Virtual DevJam (on irc.gnu.org in #classpath) 17:00 CET (15:00 UTC) on Friday.
