I/O 2013 - GWT Sessions?

[James]

I know it's early....but is anyone familiar with the planned Google Web Toolkit sessions for Google I/O 2013?  It was a bit disappointing last year when there was only one real GWT session...after there had been many in all the previous years.  GWT Team...any comments?

[KevMo]

I'd love to know this too. I was also a bit bummed out last year about the lack of GWT sessions.

Now that GWT is more community run, I think it would be better if we just had our own convention...

I went to the second I/O, and GWT was all over the place. Then each year after there were fewer and fewer session, more free swag, and an android push. On top of that, there is such a media hype about the event nowadays that it's become less and less about developers and more and more about "Oh, look what we did! And here's some free stuff! Not a developer? No problem! See the show! Here's some more free stuff!".

It's a shame. I don't even think all of the GWT session videos made it up on youtube. They had some great pointers...

+1 for a separate GWT convention

Ray says there might be a couple of sessions but isn't sure.

[Sachin Shekhar R]

Not able to use youtube's translation feature for captions. Any other way we can learn what the person is speaking about?

[Steve]

Looks like someone else mentioned the idea of having our own event, and Bruce seemed interested (like we all are :]) But it sounds like we need to get a website up and running and generate some interest. I'll tell you this right now, my boss would fly our developers to such an event in a heartbeat. 

I like his (Bruce) idea of expanding it into an event that encompasses UX/design/implementation. The GWT talks a few years back about how to optimize your code, getting things down to below 100ms...I was just starting GWT. Once I attended that talk, it all started to click. It was invaluable.

Atlanta has been mentioned and I think it's a great hub for such an event.

We could have developers submit ideas for presentations, vote on them, and then have the winners of the first round submit their presentations for review.

What Ray said in that thread is right on the money. Google I/O gets larger and larger every year. I wouldn't be surprised if all there was this year was a Q&A with the GWT trust council...

Hi,

I think the obvious compromise location is Sydney.

Cheers

[Craig Mitchell]

I'd have to agree with Rob on that one!  :-)

Looks like there are two sessions:

GWT Roadmap for the Future:  https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/327833110

Demystifying MVP and EventBus in GWT:  https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/331474237

Doesn't look like either are being recorded.  Oh well.

They will be recorded. It just takes some time to put them online ;)

Good. I am looking forward to seeing them.

I think a GWT conference would be great as well.

It would probably make more sense to occur somewhere on the west coast though since it is much closer to silicon valley.

The San Diego Convention Center is always a great place for conventions.

I couldn't find the youtube video for it.

Since some want the GWT conference on the west coast and some on the east, I say let's split the difference and meet in the middle.  I vote for Denver.
