Now in its second year, the official Irish Java Technologies Conference, the IJTC 2008 is all set for January 7th and 8th in Dublin and we are now calling interested parties to submit presentation abstracts and bio's on Java related technologies.

Last year, over 300 software developers registered for IJTC 2007 and were treated to nine excellent technology sessions from a choice of twenty three.

 

At this year's IJTC, being held in Dublin on January 7th and 8th, we're looking for presentations in Java related development technologies, but that also contain information on how the technology is implemented. i.e. this is the technology, this is what we used it for, this is where it was great and this is where it could have been better. 

 

This year, attempting to provide subject matter to as wide a developer audience as possible, we're interested in proposals that not only cater for mid and senior developers but also for our 'foundation' track, aimed at junior developers and students. More information on this here. 

 

As a result of the successful inaugural IJTC, last year's speakers, Jake Korab of the Dublin Java User Group, co-organisers of IJTC 2007, received an invitation to Java One by Jeff Genender, committer to the Apache Geronimo project. Graciously, Jeff had lined up lots of interested Java guru's to come for IJTC 2008 (himself included!) and Luan and I did likewise when were introduced to lot's of internationally recognised speakers by Richard Bair (Swinglabs Expert, SUN Microsystems, San Francisco) and Shaun Smith (Eclipse Evangelist, Oracle Toronto) at JavaPolis in Antwerp last December, the Belgium Java User Group excellent Java extravaganza. 

 

Judging by our inbox, the reputation of the legendary Irish hospitality has  spread far and wide! But, fair is fair, and we will not confirm anyone until after the closing date for submissions - Friday 31st October. Do you hear that Charles Nutter, JRUBY authority of SUN Microsystems :-)

 

But you don't have to be a seasoned presenter to be selected to talk at IJTC 2008....we're more interested in what you have to say as opposed to how many times you've said it!

 

So, if you'd like to be considered, please submit your abstract and the intended audience level, along with a brief bio of yourself and whether you are representing your employer.

 

Closing date for submission is Friday 31st October and you send them here. The IJTC 2008 committee will notify you within a week after.

Submit Here!

I wonder how much interest the Irish Java Community may have for the JavaCard. There is interesting development coming up with the announced and to be release JavaCard 3.0. 10 years or so after the first Java Card. Web/Communications, Multi-threading capability, Access control... For now rollout of existing JavaCard technology has demonstrate a wide use of java technology (web,security,imaging....). I can probably speaks for hours on that, if there is any interest.

Luan - Wednesday the 30th of July at 7:33 p.m.

JavaCard and the wider topic of micro devices, sensor networks etc... would certainly be of interest. Please, send a session proposal :-)

Werner Keil - Thursday the 31st of July at 2:56 p.m.

I'd like to propose some of my JCP projects, most notably JSR-275 or JSR-321 for this event. Where exactly is the address or place to send the proposal? Cheers, Werner

Barry - Thursday the 31st of July at 7:14 p.m.

Hi Werner, Barry here - thanks for your post. Abstracts should ideally be 500 words or so - soemthing so we can get a meaningful idea about the proposed presentation. Send them to IJTC at IrishDev.com Look forward to reading them. Best Barry

Tim Hodkinson - Friday the 1st of August at 3:57 p.m.

Is there a session covering Grails? If not I'd like to propose one.

Barry - Saturday the 2nd of August at 7:46 p.m.

Hi Tim, Thanks for your post. Last years IJTC saw Guillaume Laforge come over from France to evangelise on Groovy and Grails - you might have even attended his sessions yourself? We have invited Guillaume to submit an abstract, and I believe there is also one other paper in too. Tim, if you are considering submitting a proposal, we'd love to see your abstract - closing date is Friday 28th, or if you'd like to propose another speaker let us know and we'll get in contact with them. Best Barry
