A new HOW-TO called How To Start Rio on Amazon EC2 has been published.

Today I received an email about J1.

Here is a quote from it:

We were also able to convince the organizers to extend a $200 discount in honor of supporters of Java on the iPhone. If any of your readers simply type “iPhone” into the priority code box at registration, they can get the discount.

So feel free to use this coupon.

I would be pleased talking with you about Amazon services, Rio and Jini, or whatever else…
