The next big event for the Wonderland team is the JavaOne
developers conference in San Francisco on May 6-9th. We'll be hosting
an informal Wonderland Community Gathering at the Thirsty
Bear pub (661 Howard Street, San Francisco) on May 7th at
7:30pm. If you're in the Bay area, I hope you can join us for a rare
opportunity to meet face-to-face. The entire Wonderland team will be
attending.
I
would also encourage all of you to come visit us at JavaOne itself.
We'll have two demo stations, one in the Sun booth (#194) and one in
the Java Playground (#1034). If you pre-register by May 5th, a one-day
Pavilion pass is only $50. If you decide to
attend the full conference (students
can get in for free!), there are a variety of Wonderland,
Darkstar, and Java gaming events in the formal program that may be of
interest. Most of the action is on Tuesday:
Tuesday, May 6th:
10:50 am Designing an MMORPG with Project Darkstar
Jeff Kesselman - Technical Session
1:30 pm Project Wonderland: Community-built Virtual Worlds
Nicole Yankelovich & Nigel Simpson - Community Corner talk
2:00 pm Wonderland with Kids (time may change)
Gilda Garreton & Juan Carlos Herrer - Community Corner talk
3:20 pm Project Wonderland: A Toolkit for Building 3-D Virtual Worlds
Paul Byrne & Jonathan Kaplan - Technical Session
3:20 pm Project Darkstar Hands-On Lab
Jeff Kesselman & Jana Olivova - Hands-on Lab
6:00 pm Creating Games on the Java Platform with jMonkeyEngine
Rikard Herlitz & Joshua Slack - Technical Session
It's
too bad the Wonderland talk and the Darkstar hands-on lab were
scheduled opposite one another, but by the time we realized it, it was
too late to change the schedule.
On Wednesday, May 7th:
6:30 pm Video Game Development on the Java Platform:
Past Present and Future of Java Technology Games
Chris Melissinos - Birds-of-a-Feather Session
7:30 pm Project Wonderland Community Gathering
Thirsty Bear - 661 Howard Street, San Francisco
Thirsty Bear - 661 Howard Street, San Francisco
Hope to see you there!

Great list! BTW, Adam Bien will be giving a lighting talk on Underworld - a GF-based back-end for Wonderland at CommunityOne, in the GlassFish Lighting Talks session. I believe it is Monday 4pm, Esplanade 305. - eduard/o
