Sounds fine to me.  I'd be willing to talk about Groovy, unless
someone else wants to cover it.  Hint: I only have about 2 weeks of
experience with Groovy.  Still, I could talk about purely language
specific stuff and show a few examples.   Aside from just the language
improvements over plain Java, Groovy "builders" are interesting.
