[Fwd: Re: JakartaOne

[Vic Cekvenich <vi...@basebeans.com>]

I would be happy to sponsor a hotel conference room, ie. FREE room, 
screen and projector on the 28th, say noon - end of day. (I have paid 
for an extra room)


I am holding a paid Struts class AM on the same day.

Let me know if/how I can assist more.
Feel free to fill up the agenda, I could do a FREE 30 minute version of 
Struts if needed.

Vic
