I really like Joan's post, but she's missing the point!
You can't replace live networking with peers with online postings.
Seasoned Java developers fly over the country to attend conferences
and seminars NOT BECAUSE THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO SOME TECHNICAL
PRESENTATION, but because they want meet people.
Oh well, gasoline is expensive these days, so you'd better do not leave
your shell unless you absolutely have to :)
I'll be posting speaker's ppt slides, which are useless unless you
hear the the presentation.

How about a web broadcast kind of thing?
PPT sometimes has useful content ;-)
