Planning for JavaOne Community Activities AcceleratesPosted by editor on April 28, 2009 at 5:49 AM PDT
As the weeks remaining before JavaOne and the CommunityOne open developer conference dwindle, planning for community-related activities is accellerating. For example, the java.net Mobile & Embedded Community just announced that they will be featuring a Lighting Talk BOF session. The session ID is BOF-6731, and the event will take place on Wednesday evening, June 3, from 6:45 to 7:35. Lightning talks are typically popular events, because they're both educational and entertaining. Speakers have five minutes, in an open presentation format, to present something. It can be a brief talk about a project or product, a demonstration, a succession of slides, anything. But, it's supposed to last only five minutes. Going over the limit gives the moderator the opportunity to give the speaker the hook and drag them off the stage (sometimes to the comical delight of the audience). Terrence Barr and Roger Brinkley, both from Sun Microsystems, will be the BOF-6731 moderators. Here's the session description from the JavaOne Content Catalog: JavaOne conference attendees will be able to pitch their projects or ideas in 10 five-minute time slots to session attendees in this BOF. The 10 presentations are currently undetermined, but mobile attendees won't want to miss this fast-paced and informative BOF, complete with cowbells to alert any speakers who exceed their time allotment. Those wanting to speak should send their suggestions to editor-at-mobileandembedded.org for consideration. Terrence Barr, M&E community evangelist, and Roger Brinkley, M&E community leader, are picking the top 10 topics for this event. CommunityOne podcasts Meanwhile, the schedule for the CommunityOne open developer conference, which partially overlaps JavaOne (CommunityOne is June 1-3; JavaOne is June 2-5), is also being filled in. CommunityOne will include more than 60 sessions (the list is still growing). In addition, the CommunityOne podcast schedule is filling up fast. There are still some slots available, if you'd like to make a podcast about your project or a relevant topic. See Sonya Barry's "Community Corner Podcasts at JavaOne" post and my related post for information about the podcasts. See the Java.net Community Corner 2009 wiki for complete details. The latest Java Mobility Podcast is Java Mobility Podcast 77: Java and Symbian OS, in which Roy Ben Hayun talks about applying Java ME on the Symbian OS. In Java Today, the Lighting Talk BOF signup for Mobility Track has been announced: "This year in BOF 6731 will feature the Mobile & Embedded Lightning Talks.

This week's java.net Poll asks "Which aspect of Java technology is the primary focus your current work efforts?" Voting is open through Thursday, April 30. This week's Spotlight is The Developer Insight Series, Part 2: Code Talk, in which Janice J. Heiss asks renowned developers about the keys to writing good code: "In Part Two, we hear code advice from five distinguished developers: Joshua Bloch and Masood Mortazavi echo Goetz's advice to keep code simple. Jaron Lanier and Victoria Livschitz want to radically change the way code is created. And renowned bug fixer Brian Harry provides tips on bug fixing while emphasizing what the process can teach us."
