Globally Connecting Women in Java Technology

The first day at javaone has just finished. It started with the community sunday. We talked with other JUG leaders about topics like how to get more members active in the JUGs. How to finance the JUG and how to record your sessions. The session was made up into discusions in smaller groups and a large part at the end where all the results were discussed. We got allote of positive reactions and some people that want to start chapters in their own country.

In the evening there was the much hyped keynote session with Larry. Before Larry took the stage some other people from Oracle talked some and handed out some trophies. And there was some talks from HP. Larry was proceded by a short movie about the Americas cup (sailing competition) which was won by the USA in a boat sponsored by Oracle. In his talk for over more than an hour he mentioned Java twice and the JVM once.
Turned out that all the JavaOne attendees were rejected at the primairy location of the keynote and sent to the Hilton to watch the keynote on the bigscreens there. I think we got the better deal as we got to have free food and drink and we got to talk during the ‘boring’ keynote.

After this we had a short meeting with Yolande to discuse our session for tomorrow and our interview.

We will get back to you with day 2

Coucou les filles !

J’organise dans le cadre du Poitou-Charentes JUG une journée complète de conférences Java à La Rochelle : le Jug Summer Camp.

Le JUG Summer Camp 2010 se tient le vendredi 10 septembre à La Rochelle. Venez toutes profiter des derniers rayons de soleil de l’été pour une rencontre privilégiée avec les acteurs de la communauté Java dans un cadre magnifique.

Emmanuel Bernard, Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine, Julien Dubois, Nicolas de Loof, et bien d’autres ont répondu présent et vous proposent des présentations de haut niveau réparties sur deux tracks.

L’évènement est francophone, gratuit et ouvert à tous (et toutes ! ). N’hésitez pas à en parler autour de vous.

Le site de la conférence, à deux pas de la gare TGV, est un cadre confortable et convivial pour profiter de cette journée dans les meilleures conditions… et pourquoi pas la poursuivre par un week-end sur la côte Atlantique

J’espère que je pourrai croiser plusieurs d’entre vous là bas.

Bonne soirée à toutes,
Orianne.

At JavaPolis I decided to attend the JUG-leader BOF (Birds Of a Feather), just to meet them as I thought it would be a good idea to know them and maybe have them send their female members over to us. Read the rest of this entry →
