[Consol] Lofi Dewanto - CONSOL

[Gunnar Wolf]

Hello,

I have not directly contacted you before - I am (or, rather, was forced to
be) the coordinator for CONSOL. After what our friends at UPN have told us
about your job, I am _very_ happy we will have you here in a couple of
days!

Ok, now, for the real reason of my mail: I know we have been quite badly
organized... But we are working towards getting a great conference. Today,
the academic comitee is meeting to schedule the proposed talks, so I
wanted to check something with you - I understand there is an important
timezone difference between us and that probably you will read this after
the first draft of our schedule is done, but anyway...

As a guest speaker, you will have a keynote talk. You sent us two talks:
'Open Source E-Learning Platforms' and 'Enterprise Java Open Source
Architecture (EJOSA)', both two hour long tutorials. So, here goes my list
of questions:

- We are very purist here. We do not like Java, as we consider it to be
  non free. About your talk on EJOSA - Is it tied to Sun's Java? Would it
  work with Kaffe, GNU Classpath (currently still in development AFAIK),
  or is there any other free, non-Sun Java implementation you are aware of
  it would work with?
  Please understand us on this one - If we scheduled your talk on Java,
  and it is tied to Sun's... Well... As our guest, we would be completely
  endorsing Java. And many people in our community, most of them I might
  extrapolate, would not agree.

- Do you want your talk to be a keynote speech? (keynotes are 90 minute
  long sessions, and are the only sessions that are *not* run in parallel
  with others. The audience is thus much broader than when talking about
  tutorials or regular talks)  Would you prefer it staying as a tutorial
  and submitting something else as a keynote? (Or, of course, you can
  choose only to have the tutorials)

Please, we *are* willing to include your talk on EJOSA - as long as it is
not binded to Sun's nonfree license.

Greetings, and thank you very much!
