JavaOne Blogger Meetup 06/29/2004 12:17 PM
Last night's blogger meetup was a blast. It was great to actually meet the people behind the blogs. I talked to Tim Bray, Simon Phipps, MaryMary, Cedric, Cameron, Mike, Charles, Matt, Russel Beattie (which is pronounced Bee-Ah-Tee, not Bee-tee) and many others. Unfortunately I missed out on Hani (who I would've loved to introduce to Russel :-) and EricGu (who... (164 words)

JavaOne: Java spec promises better
mobile experience 06/24/2005 06:55 PM

Work is being wrapped up on the first draft of a set of new Java technologies that could bring big benefits to mobile phone applications for both work and entertainment.

The technologies, embodied in a new Java specification, include management capabilities that should allow mobile operators to send software updates to phones after they have been distributed, monitor hardware resources and even troubleshoot problems remotely, said Jon Bostrom, director of Java technology at Nokia  and one of the specification's lead developers.

If a user wants to download a new game and lacks the right codec (coder/decoder), for example, the technology should allow a developer to package the codec and the game together and deliver them at the simultaneously, even installing them while the phone is in use.

The specification also includes runtime technologies that should make it easier for developers to write applications that need to talk to servers or other phones. They might include games that include instant messaging features, or business programs that pull customer information from a back-end systems.

Those applications should be easier to build because the specification provides many of the runtime "services," such as security, message queuing and connectivity, that developers would otherwise have to write for their application. That allows them to focus on their user interfaces and business logic and not worry about the infrastructure, or middleware, components.

"What we're really doing is bringing the middleware environment that has been so successful on servers into mobile clients," Bostrom said.

Nokia and Motorola led the development of the specification, called JSR 232 for Mobile Operational Management. It is also backed by other handset makers, operators and software vendors including Vodafone Group, NTT DoCoMo, IBM and SAP.

SAP is interested because it wants to make it easier for its customers to write client applications that extend its ERP (enterprise resource planning) software to mobile devices, Bostrom said. Phone makers and operators, meanwhile, hope to entice customers with better products and services.

The spec itself is a document hundreds of pages long that tells phone makers and developers how to implement the technologies. It will become part of the J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) specification for phones and other embedded devices.

Pertti Korhonen, Nokia's chief technology officer, is expected to show off JSR 232 at next week's JavaOne show in San Francisco. He'll announce when developers can get their hands on a software development kit and show them what it will look like, Bostrom said.

The first draft specification should be completed in about a month, and the final specification is targeted for the end of the year. It may take six to nine months after that for a spec to appear in finished products.

Not everything has gone smoothly. JSR 232 is already a year behind schedule, largely because of the time it took to get the industry players involved to see its benefits. "They're used to the idea that you just burn the software into the phone and ship it. We've had a tremendous education process to go through," Bostrom said.

The group has also had to coordinate each step of its work with a related standards body, the Open Systems Gateway Initiative.

JSR 232 could be a big benefit to both operators and enterprises, but its success depends partly on how much support it can muster from developers, said Mark Blowers, a senior research analyst with Butler Group, in Hull, England.

"It's still early days," he said. "They're at the end of the runway and now they have to see whether it takes off."

Some phone users will be hoping it does. Daren Sidall, a principal analyst with Gartner Inc. in the U.K., tried out a service from Hellomagazine.com recently that uses a Java program to deliver celebrity news and pictures to a mobile phone.

The first day's content looked fine, but after that he was unable to download updated content. He found out eventually that the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) settings on his phone needed changing. Asking his operator seemed like too much hassle so he cancelled the service.

"It's a classic case of a decent service falling at the first hurdle," he said.

It's also the type of problem that JSR 232 should help to fix.

RSS Meetup

RSS Meetup 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
So—I had signed up for RSS Meetups, and then I got an email asking me to vote on a venue.

Then I checked, and found that I was the only Seattle-ite who had signed up, so I made my decision. The meetup will be held wherever I happen to be at the scheduled time, and everybody (me) will be in attendance, and we don’t have to talk about RSS if we don’t feel like it.

In fact, if we just want to watch TV, or play with the cat, or do some coding—that’s all fine.

Review : PHP Meetup I'd love to tell you glowing things about the Boston PHP Meetup. How I networked, learned, found new clients and even ate good food. N O P E !!!! Instead the event failed as follows: Arrive at restaurant. Sign on door "For Rent". Not a positive thing. Stand on street corner in 25 degree weather feeling like a fool. Wait 15 minutes. No one arrives Walk away in disgust thinking "Not only did no one show but the $#($)#*$)(# restaurant was closed so I didn't even get food" Pathetic. I mean THE RESTAURANT WASN'T EVEN IN BUSINESS !!! Note to the meetup crew: GET A CLUE.

Best JavaOne Since 1999!

I predict this year's JavaOne is going to be the best one since the heydey of Java in 1999. Why?

1. I'm back. I haven't even been in the country, let alone San Francisco since then. That alone is going to make it better for me. :-)

2. The Buzz Is Back: Anyone here in the Valley can feel that the tech industry is resurging. Mobile Java is ubiquitous, Java is the established leader on the server and there's opportunity and energy bubbling up everywhere.

3. JavaBlogs (and Java.net, JavaLobby and TheServerSide): There's a tighter community of Java developers out there than ever before. This is going to make the conference a lot more "closer" and allow everyone on the *outside* of the conference to take part vicariously as well.

4. Apple's WWDC: It's at the same time and across the street and will add style (and women) to what would normally be a hordes of geeky developers talking about technology plumbing.

5. The Party!: There's going to be a JavaBlogs meetup Monday at Thirsty Bear! Be there and be square! I mean, Dave, Matt, Simon, Tim, Mike, Bob, Charles and more are going to be there. Rock on! I'll make sure I bring lots of J2ME toys to show.

As for the conference sessions themselves? They don't seem bad. (Remember, generally avoid sessions given by a Sun employee since it'll be 99% marketing.)

I've actually only been to one JavaOne - the first one. Jonathan Schwartz said they'll launch 1.5 there next week.

And so Meetup.com was born, and grew, and grew. Along the way it became part of the massive, amorphous “social networking” set of companies (which includes LinkedIn, Orkut, Ryze and most famously Friendster.

JavaOne proposals

JavaOne proposals 02/05/2005 10:07 PM

A first for me: I submitted a couple of proposals for JavaOne 2005. The first one is a joint session with four speakers (that may pose a problem) titled Beyond Blogging: Feed Syndication and Publishing with Java. If the proposal is accepted Kevin Burton, Patrick Chanezon, Alejanro Abdelnur, and I will discuss the Java tools available for feed syndication, FeedParse r, Rome, Roller, and BlogClient. We'll also discuss plans for moving towards a standard Java API for feed parsing, generation, and publishing.  The second paper is titled Enterprise Blogging With Java and it is basically an updated and improved version of the talk I gave at the Triangle and Orlando/Gainesville JUGs last year.

Meetup About Business Model Lessons

Meetup About Business Model Lessons 04/13/2005 02:55 PM
Meetup Inc. become something of an internet darling during the US Presidential campaigns, after people started using it for political organizing. The concept was straight-forward. Use the web to find like-minded individuals in a certain area who could (yup) "meet up" in person. What was unclear from the beginning, though, was how Meetup was ever going to make money. Originally, the plan was to get money out of the venues where the various meetups occurred. Apparently, that didn't work out, and now, Meetup is making news for its decision to charge each "group" $19/month to keep going. They certainly expect to lose many of their groups, and lots of people are already noting that the price seems quite steep for what were mostly small, informal gatherings. The real issue, though, is that it looks like Meetup has forgotten the first rule of internet-based business models: don't charge for something that was free before. It's very, very difficult to make that work (there are a few small exceptions). Generally speaking, though, if people expect something to be free, suddenly turning around and charging for it is seen as swiping the rug out from under them. They embraced your offering, in part, because it was free. You can charge for new and additional services -- but pissing off most of your users with surprise fees, after being sold on the free idea, tends to come back to bite many companies that have tried it. If anything, it tends to encourage competition to come in and offer what you used to offer... for free.
