Hi all,

As part of the Adopt OpenJDK programme, Oracle is hosting a Java 9 REPL (aka project "Kulla") workshop for 20 LJC members to evaluate the current prototype and help shape its future!

Some details on this feature can be found here:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043364

Instructions to install JDK 9 with Project Kulla will be distributed before the event (on this site).

We are limited to 20 places and ideally we'd like to have a mix of:

* People who have an existing project/idea that they'd like to try a Java REPL on.
* People who have experience with REPLs in other languages
* A couple of people who have never used a REPL

So we'll limit numbers to begin with to make sure we have the right balance.

The day will go roughly as follows:

* 0930-0950 - People arrive and go through registration.
* 1000 - Tea/Coffee & Introduction to the day
* 1015-1045 - Introduction to the REPL including ideas on areas people can explore and how to provide feedback
* 1045-1230 - Hacking on the REPL
* 1300-1330 - Lunch
* 1330-1600 - More hacking on the REPL (+ Tea / coffee at 1430)
* 1600+ Wrap up and conclusions
* 1700+ optional pub

Thanks to Ruth, Simon, Gavin, Robert and Brian at Oracle for sponsoring and hosting this event.

Cheers,
Martijn
