  10 <h2>Escape the Java Trap! - GNU Classpath Hacker Room</h2>
  11
  12 <i>Fosdem, Saturday/Sunday 26/27 February 2005, Brussels, Belgium</i>
  13 <p>
  14 <b>UPDATE: Presentations are now linked below!</b>
  15 <p>
  16 The Fosdem organisation has generously offered the developers of
  17 various projects around GNU classpath the opportunity to meet face
  18 to face in their own developer room.
  19 <p>
  20 We have brought together a wide range of different speakers from
  21 various projects that together provide a free software alternative to
  22 the proprietary java platform. Developers from these various projects
  23 will come from all over the world to discuss cooperation and to make
  24 development plans to the next year.
  25 <p>
  26 You are very welcome to join us and learn about the IKVM architecture
  27 and how to freely mix and match traditional java and .net applications
  28 and libraries, how GNU and Apache developers can and should work
  29 together, how you can do rapid GNOME desktop development through
  30 java-gnome, how researchers are using GNU Classpath to do cutting edge
  31 research into Just In Time compilation, see demonstrations of
  32 lightning fast native eclipse, learn what will be possible with GNU
  33 Classpath and GCC 4.0, whether Kaffe will ever release their version
  34 1.1.5, what we think about compatibility, freedom vs control and
  35 learn how you can create your own GNU Compiler Collection frontend for
  36 languages such as the 1.5 java programming language.
