SpringONE and the community

I was just looking at the lineup for SpringONE this year. Interesting. Presenters from SpringSource only. So much for the openness. I mean, Sun got accused over and over again of dominating JavaONE. But at least *they do* accept talks from people outside of Sun. SpringONE has none at all. Apart from that, there are no BOFs, there's no unconferrence, no posters, no nothing. Well, there is a partner exhibition. More advertising.

It's interesting to see that a company that was built on open source displays no interest at all for getting community input. What do you think?

I don't think the program has been finalized yet. If you're interested in doing a talk (perhaps about Spring.ME?), ping me.
