Yes, it has. :)

A Technical Session about GUI Layouts for Swing & SWT using MigLayout. :)

I got 2 Groovy BOFs accepted

ecspike — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:41:02 -0500

I got 2 Groovy BOFs accepted (one of which is with Andres) and one rejection for a tech session.

I got one Grails session and

gr34134 — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:36:41 -0500

I got one Grails session and a combined Groovy and Grails patterns for JavaEE talk accepted, and one on Groovy meta programming rejected. So 2 out of 3 is not bad, but I'm glad Andres got some accepted because Guillaume got pretty much all of his Groovy talks rejected :-(

Considering there were 13 Groovy talks last year and they were some of the most popular sessions it sure is disappointing.

After years of trying,

After years of trying, perseverance paid off!

This year I did submit three abstracts, one of them was "The Hitchhiker Guides to the JSR-275 Units and Measure API" which I thought had a good chance... But to my surprise, the jury selected "Fully Time Deterministic Java" derived from a paper presented to NASA rocket scientists few months ago (Space 2007). The paper is available here!

I hope to see you there in great number! Even if you don't work on real time applications, the concepts presented there (e.g. separation of concerns) are real cost savers regardless of the type of project you work on (including web applications).

I got 1 session and 2 bofs on Groovy, but I have the same feeling as Geertjan.

I proposed three BOFs...and

I proposed three BOFs...and all of them got rejected :(

Fortunately, Yvonne's session about GUI testing got accepted...and I'm co-speaker :D

Great to see you here, Fabrizio, and congratulations on getting your blueMarine talk accepted! I hope we'll also see you become active in the new NetBeans Zone where I think you could be an excellent contributor.

Best,

I got accepted too for a BOF!!! First time I've ever submitted. Now the real trick is getting over there and getting time off work!

I'm in - but that's one acceptance letter and two rejection letters.

Of course, the rejection letters came in first and the acceptance letter an hour later. Do you think that they do that just to build up the tension?

geertjan — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 08:35:00 -0500

It really seems to be the hand of fate sometimes. I've been picking up the feeling that Groovy/Grails might be badly underrepresented this year. Let's wait and see what the full program will look like. Though I'm already looking forward to Geert and Mikael Grev's talks.

Not much luck this year :-(
