A JavaOne Wish List?

It's official, the 2007 JavaOne Call for Papers is open. Now is your chance to submit a proposal for a technical session or birds-of-a-feather. Be sure to read the information on the new areas we will be including, under the Topics tag at the top of the call for papers site. The deadline for submitting a paper is December 15, 2006.

While submissions come in over the course of the next two weeks, the Program Committee is working on designing each track: what talks should be in this track, who is the right speaker for these talks. We start with these ideas and build the track content from the best of the submissions.

I'm going to offer you a unique opportunity - if you were in a position to lay the foundation for one of the tracks for JavaOne, what talks would you include and who would give them? What's on your wish list for talks at JavaOne?

Comments

• Nicholas Negroponte to speak of One Laptop Per Child, obviously only if they will end up including Java in the distribution (I heard rumours).

  He could talk about applications that could change the world and what kind of help is required.

  He could also sell/give away some of the laptops at the conference. People would really go for those; more so than they went for the phones last time.

• Cedric on TestNG, and let Hani give a presentation where he gets to say Turdburgler.

  I assume Bruce is doing a GWT session this year, but a BOF would be cool (For me anyway).

  Give Milos a slot for Mevenide. Really. As a Netbeans guy in an Eclipse world, Mevenide makes my life tolerable.

  I think having someone *from Microsoft* give a presentation of WSIT would be genius. And maybe someone from Sun telling me how they are going to un-fubar the JAX-WS RI wouldn't be bad either.

  
  While it doesn't interest me in its current state, I would be fascinated to see someone from Phobos give a spill about future options for the project.

  Let Chris Adamson let loose his spiel on JMF.

  And does GPL mean Java(tm) can absorb javax.usb implementations that are (L)GPL as well as other libraries? A legalities session is a must. Mostly Q&A would be good.

  Since Nick Negroponte was mentioned, how about lining up peeps from Fedora to talk about Glassfish/Fedora-Redhat Directory --- anything but JBoss worldviews.

  Get Pat and Alejandro off the greeter line and lest talk about ROME and Mano as a real alternative to the Windows Feed APIs.

  "Pimp my Swing App" gives way to Distribute my Swing App.

• First time 100% free and Open Source development and runntime enviroment.Open Space for the OSS companies to show how they will integrate Java into Linux distros and other open source products.

• I would like to see presentations on JOGL by some people who use it commercially, for instance Three Rings (Puzzle Pirates, Bang! Howdy). What has been good, what has been bad.

  Now that it is open source, a session on "porting java to X" would be fun, for instance the guys who ported J2ME to the Sony PSP. A session on the Bluray APIs would be nice too, it is very difficult to find any tutorials or even the specs anywhere, but they must exist since the hardware (finally) is out.

  I don't think ThreeRings does any 3D. I think all of their stuff is just ISO 2D.

• Bang! Howdy is 3D, but it uses LWJGL through the JMonkey engine. They plan to have JOGL support in "the near future". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JMonkey_Engine) Anyway, even if it was all 2D, my interest remains - how does it work to do a big commercial game in Java? What advantages and pitfalls is there?

  
  Even more interesting would be to hear from a MMO game. A lot of security and concurrency issues that for instance online banks or trading systems face are the same for MMOs. I know Star Wars online uses java for the backend, but considering how buggy and impopular that game is it might not be a great endorsement. ;-)
  There is Wyrm Online of course, and the online parts of Sims2 I believe. I saw that Blizzard was hiring Java developers for World of Warcraft, but maybe that was just jsp/struts stuff for their web pages.

• A Fidelity Program including partnership with other events and services could be an interesting idea for the future.
