When Oracle announced its intention to take over Sun Microsystems last year rumour was rife that 2009 would be the last JavaOne. Many developers and journalists assumed that Oracle would fold JavaOne into its Oracle OpenWorld conference much as it did with BEA World when it purchased BEA in 2008. Indeed Tim Bray, then director of Web technologies at Sun Microsystems, tweeted at last year's conference "press room consensus: This is the last JavaOne".
For this year at least, however, whilst Oracle has decided to run the conference alongside Oracle OpenWorld, it remains a separate event. The dates are September 19-23, 2010 and according to the submissions website

Speakers can submit to one of the following tracks:
The closing date for submissions is March 14, 2010.
For the first time Oracle is also intending to take JavaOne global with events planned in India and China.
