quick question - SXSW

[gem at cigital.com (Gary McGraw)]

Hey andy,

You mean AJAX one?   Last time I went there was zero interest and even less clue about security among attendees.  The 
only shining light was a long conversation I had with bill joy about security critical decisions those guys screwed up 
with Java (especially with regards to closure).

A decade of evangelism only goes so far!   Do help!

On a related note a quick perusal of the JavaOne conference tracks
doesn't show a lot of content in this area either.  Is this due to a
lack of interest, or people in the security world not pitching talks
to the development conference organizer?
