This post will be continually updated and as the keynote proceeds and I will remove this notice once the post is completed. Until this note is removed, this post is a work-in-progress (kind of a poor man’s Tweets).JavaOne 2011 appears to be very well attended. The Hilton San Francisco Ballroom A/B is standing-room only and they have announced the overflow rooms as the Imperial and Yosemite conference rooms. As I type this, we are being told that there is more space devoted to JavaOne this year (as compared to last year) and that there is increased attendance at JavaOne this year (again as compared to last year).As we waited for the keynote to begin, the main screens showed slides touting the prevalence of Java and the 2011 Duke’s Choice Awards winners. It was an interesting set of slides to pass the time reading. Latin America 2011 (December 6-8) and Tokyo 2012 (April 4-6) editions of JavaOne were announced. Doug Fisher of Intel stated that Intel started using Java the year it came out. He talked about dedicating Intel resources to optimizing the JVM on Intel architectures. He spoke of the greatly increased footprint of Java that has occurred since those days. He credited those in attendance for this increased footprint. Doug introduced Intel and Oracle folks involved with optimizing the JVM on the Intel architecture and asked them to speak.Original posting available at https://marxsoftware.blogspot.com/ (Inspired by Actual Events) Java
