So what exactly will be John’s focus at this year’s JavaOne? Working the Sunday keynote at the Moscone center, Duimovich’s talk is entitled Java Flies in Blue Skies and Open Clouds, with the reference to Blue Skies being a not-so-subtle inference to the fact that Duimovich will be elucidating the crowd about IBM’s vision for the future of enterprise computing with Java…
