I hear Java 8 was already released in the wild on the 18th of March, but this seems to be the Live Webcast of the Launch. Introducing Java 8 was Mark Reinhold3, the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle.
He was joined by some well known Software Developers:

- Roger Riggs, new Date and Time API. Spec lead of ME 8.
- Richard Bair, Java Client Architect, JavaFX 8.
- John Rose, JVM Architect.
