Don't miss the Swing chat!

Update: The chat has already occurred, and a transcript is now available.

Scott Violet and Shannon Hickey — the Swing architect and project lead, respectively — know everything there is to know about Swing. They're in the midst of planning the next couple of releases, so tomorrow's Java Live chat is a great opportunity to find out what's happened and going to happen, and to let them know what you want.

Tuesday, November 9. 11:00 A.M. PST/19:00 UTC. Be there.

PS: Scott and Shannon, besides being top-notch technically, are really nice guys. So please treat them well!

PPS: This is my first blog entry on java.net. Short and sweet, that's how I'm gonna blog.

• Do you know if a transcript of this chat will be posted? I missed it.

• I assume they will. I'll look out for it and post a link when it's up.

• Hints for the 'next' version.

  - post GMT times as well please.
  - place the applet on a server that can handle the bandwidth since I could not fetch the applet yesterday.
  - fix the applet to actually work. I just get a 'failed to start' in Konqueror, but that can be because I started it outside the session hours.
  - provide a better idea of what this chat actually means, use a screenshot for example since I can't imagine what it looks like. Since a transcript is mentioned I can imagine it only has sound (not clear!) It should be mentioned so I can prepare for that. I should not start it on my laptop, for instance.

  oh; if it was sound (was it?) please post an ogg-vorbis or even an mp3 file.

  Thanks.

• Hi, zander. I've forwarded your comments to the Java Live people, and I'll try to use GMT times in future "look out for this chat" posts. (So... what is the difference between UTC and GMT? Could I just say UTC/GMT?)

• UTC is not very well known where I live, at least not as well as GMT. Posting them both seems like a good idea, yes.

  Thanks.
