* Title
* The Java War Room - Planning 50 Years of Java
* Abstract (at least two paragraphs)
* The Java language will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It has also kept the crown of most popular language for the past 5 consecutive years. Billions of devices run Java globally ranging from Blu-Ray players to mobile phones to Java cards.
But it is too early to celebrate victory! The unwashed masses are conspiring to destroy well typed Java code with unmaintainable scripts built using prototype clones. They are assaulting the core fundamentals of our object orientation by disrupting parametric polymorphism. If we let them launch deadly preprocessor directives no code will be safe from this polymorphic invasion!
This presentation will delve into well researched statistics on industry usage of programming languages, emerging trends and their impact on language suitability, and effects of cloud computing on language adoption. War humor aside, the goal is to frame strategic discussions about how Java remains the most widely used language at its 50th anniversary.

We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation in the FOSDEM
2020 Free Java DevRoom!
This year FOSDEM Free Java DevRoom will be on Saturday the 1st of
February 2020 in Bruxelles, Belgium, with the usual events and
meetings surrounding the main show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on
that weekend; please, refer to the FOSDEM website for the schedule of
the whole event:
https://fosdem.org/
The Free Java DevRoom has become unique in that it has attracted
hackers from very different Free Software Java projects, giving the
opportunity to bring together companies of various sizes, different
project communities, mainstream core Java developers, alternative Java
language implementations and runtimes, and everything that forms the
Free Java Universe, everybody participating to share their knowledge
in an atmosphere of cooperation and friendly competition.
The Java Community is healthier than ever, and this is in part thanks
to all of you who contributed over the years, so come and share your
experiences at the Java Dev Room at FOSDEM!
As always, check out our wiki for more details on the conference
(please, allow some days for content to be update or added):
https://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2020/Fosdem
And join the Free Java DevoRoom mailing list [java-devroom at lists.fosdem.org]

*** IMPORTANT ***
FOSDEM organisers have expressed the desire to record and stream
everything, and like every year we will do our best to record the
sessions by default.
We will use the same format as last year, so please submit one (or
more) 25 minute talk proposal(s) by the 1st of December 2019, 23.59
CET on the mailing list, we may extend this deadline as we did in the
past, but please do not count on it, this year schedule is really
tight!
A template for submitting a talk can be found at:
http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2020/Fosdem/CallForParticipation
or you can use last year template which is essentially the same:
