Along the way, he'll be taking pictures and uploading GPS status reports to a website he's built for the purpose (built on Wicket, incidentally). And if that weren't cool (and geeky) enough, he wants to meet you! If you're anywhere along his route, drop him a line and maybe you can hook up for lunch or something. Knowing he'll be passing through Chicago (only about 150 miles from me), I'm very tempted to run down and shake his hand, buy him lunch and try to convert him to Eclipse.
Anyway, here at Javalobby we'll be keeping up with Tim through pictures, as well as maybe even some on-the-road ad hoc podcasting. Stay tuned to keep up with the latest on "Where in the USA is Tim Boudreau?" [ 1 ]
So, anyone planning on meeting up with Tim along the way? Maybe we could coordinate one giant reunion, with half a dozen Javalobby-ers all joining together, waving our super-secret hand signal.

I love it!
Tim's creativity is unbounded. I really love this idea, and I wish his route would bring him through the Carolinas so we could wine and dine him in Southern style.I'll look forward to his updates form the trip, and we are working on making a widget for the JL home page so you can get quick updates.

I'd just like to thank Rick, Matt, Mike and Daniel and the gang for their support in this endeavor! It's going to be fun! I've already gotten offers I'm going to take up to visit JUGs in Salt Lake City, Milwaukee and Albany. If you're on the I80/I90 route or near it and would like to visit and talk Java and NetBeans, let me know!At this point it looks like I'll actually be getting on the road on Saturday or Sunday - I spent the afternoon giving the transmission a bear hug, thanks to a really bad wiring job by the previous owner - I never knew you could actually melt the clamp that holds the hot wire to the battery. But, you know, have the fun is doing the work - much as I love programming, I think I'd forgotten how much fun working on physical stuff is!

We found out that Adobe has a similar campaign, so I posted a comparison of the Adobe bus and NetBeans truckhttp://blogs.sun.com/roumen/entry/netbeans_truck_vs_adobe_bus

No, but Shana and I already discussed that we probably need to prepare a widget for EclipseZone.com to track your "My Little Pony" adventure

When will you be hitting the Milwaukee JUG? I actually live in that area and I'd love to swing by and say hello. Hopefully, it'll even coincide with the rest of my schedule and become doable!
