JavaOne '05 Call For Papers

[Catharsis]

Call for papers is open now for J1 '05…
http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/cfp/index.jsp

Closes January 31st.

It would be most excellent to see more folks from here present technical sessions and/or BOFs. I got a BOF accepted last year and I made some good contacts through presenting my tech…

I believe this community can defintely offer a lot of knowledge that isn’t standard in the Java sphere as of yet.

This year I am going for a full technical session… Since I luck out and am in the SF area… I am planning on running a large 6 channel sound array for multichannel audio along with coverage of Typhon, Auriga3D, and a soon to be announced advanced audio engine for game development.

Busting ass to get a preview release of Typhon/Auriga3D out before the end of January.

And Catharsis can attest to the fact that we had a good time in our Town Hall meeting as well

and then we went to a pub!!! oi!

I put forth the '05 JavaGaming drinking challenge… To be held after the JG townhall this year…

I bet JeffK will kick my ass… Actually Ken probably could whoop me too… Got to watch out for folks like DougT and Athomas… those crazy GTG heads…

Seriously though… This year the JG townhall should be recorded and made available for folks here that can’t attend… Although last year contained a lot of back story directly from the GTG folks themselves it was back story that I haven’t seen posted to this community directly.

Although there was a decent small rabble of folks at the townhall I wasn’t aware of anyone else who frequented these forums or the .actual community.

Perhaps some discussion can be had by those who will attend on structuring the townhall discussions. I’d like to see the size double as well…

Attending the conference last year I had no clue about the townhall meeting except when I stopped by the GTG pavillion booth the day of the event. I don’t believe anything was posted here about it as I recall at least…
