Packed with tutorials, technical talks, and an exhibition area, this year the event promises to be even bigger and better. Organized by javaBin (Norwegian JUG), it turns out Norway is home to one of the most vibrant Java communities. The javalobby.org members were delighted to talk with Thor Henning Hetland (known by almost everyone as Totto), president of javaBin for the inside story."
