JavaOne: Where are the good parties at?

In a week from today, I'll begin the annual trek to one of the best conferences on the planet: JavaOne. By "best conferences", I don't mean it has the best technical content - that award goes to NFJS, The Colorado Software Summit and The Spring Experience.

JavaOne has the best networking opportunities. Of all the conference-goers I know, most of them will be at JavaOne.

I'm flying into San Francisco on Monday, driving to Mountain View to work for a few hours, playing in the company's weekly softball game, then heading back to downtown San Francisco for the networking. Tuesday through Thursday, I plan on doing the same thing: commuting to Mountain View during the day, returning to JavaOne for the parties. I have a free blogger pass, so I could attend sessions, but networking seems more important. If there's any good BOFs at night, I may attend those.

So where and where are the good parties at JavaOne 2008? Here's what I know about so far - I'll add to this list as comments start flowing in:

  • Sunday: GlassFish: Thirsty Bear @ 7
  • Monday: IONA: Zebulon @ 6, JavaBloggers: Thirsty Bear @ 7:30
  • Tuesday: CodeGear: Thirsty Bear @ 5:30, TangoSolarMetric: Zebulon @ 9
  • Wednesday: Adobe: Jillian's @ 6:30, Eclipse: Thirsty Bear @ 7, Tiki Bar Party: The Bamboo Hut @ 8
  • Thursday: JBoss: Jillian's @ 5:30, QCon: Zebulon @ 6:30

I don't have details on the JBoss party, but I did receive an e-mail about it. Since my flight leaves before the party starts, I must've deleted it.

When and where is the Java Bloggers Meetup? What about the Solarmetric/Tangosol party? Is it now the SpringSource/BEA/Oracle party?

See y'all next week - I hope the networking opportunities are better than ever.

Assuming you have a GCal account: search for JavaOne - there are several people that have linked them up.

Hi Matt. I found your post on the blog aggregation site I set up for JavaOne. (See http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/presskits/javaone2008/blogs.jsp)

FYI, there's a list of mostly corporate parties in the JavaOne group on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7363312885

Looking forward to meeting you at JavaOne!

we'll be at the House of Shields most nights, but particularly Monday night as we wrap up our track at CommunityOne.

always head to the Shields late night; it's where the cool kids are to be found ;)
