Oh and in case you haven't seen or heard, JavaOne 2016 returns to its usual
schedule:
https://www.oracle.com/javaone/index.html
September 18-22, hence, those who know they're likely to go or always
wanted to, but don't expect other ways of funding (e.g. Java Champions,
etc.) offering themselves to the Californian Open Academy means, they might
be sent to Silicon Valley by Facebook just the week before or after
JavaOne;-)

Facebook Open Academy is now taking applicants for Winter 2016.

If you're not familiar, this is a program that involves top students

projects for the term. Students work roughly 8 to 10 hours per week to

Mentors are expected to invest a few hours per week to mentor. The

For what it's worth, I highly recommend the program.

If you are interested, please complete the application form ASAP
