Great Dean, sounds like a perfect topic. Maybe even more likely to get in than a talk focused on a single language.

Hey, Charlie,
I proposed a "polyglot" talk, where I'll make the case for "mixing it
up" on the JVM using one (or more) of JRuby, Scala, or Clojure. I
intend to discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each language and
how to choose what's best for your needs, etc., etc.dean

Today is the last day for JavaOne proposals, and we're really hoping to get
some "real" rubyists showing these Java guys how it's done. Right now we've
got some basic proposals for a Ruby language/classes/libraries intro, a
JRuby/Java integration talk, various deployment talks for different servers,
GUI and Graphics talks, and hopefully we'll get someone from Rails core to
do a Rails talk. But what are we missing? Do you have a talk or know someone
with a really convincing talk that would help win over some of the Java
masses?At any rate, if you have anything you'd like to present to a big room (our
JRuby talks have been in a room that seats 1500), stop by
Oracle Java Technologies | Oracle and give it a shot. There's a whole world of
developers there (15k people at JavaOne last year) that really need to learn
Ruby.- Charlie
