Yes, that’s correct. I think the official pages are still being updated with the schedule, but the Free Java DevRoom will be on Saturday as in previous years.

We are still working on the Free Java Dinner, so I don’t know yet if we will have it (sponsors!!) and if it will be on Friday or Saturday. We are aiming at Friday this year however for logistical reasons, you are right this is unusual, so I will send a separate email with details once this is more defined, hopefully by the end of the next week.

Cheers,
Mario
