We want to help you continue the conversations you start at JavaOne, after hours and after the conference. We have two live Talk to the Guru sessions scheduled online during the conference, one on the new Java API for Location Based Services (JSR 293) and one on a new SVG tool chain for JSR 226. Other conversations cover Java on Series 40, special considerations when designing services for Africa, and anything else you want to talk about including the nine sessions with Nokia speakers.

It was good seeing so many of you at the conference. To those I talked to, and those who could not make it to San Francisco, I hope you continue the conversation online.

Update: download code samples and presentations from the conference here.

Conversation 1: LBS Goes Social.
With JSR 293, Location Based Services can become a lot more about us, and a lot less about me. I started a conversation with Gurus from Nokia, Navteq, and uLocate about the future of social Location Based Services. Check out the video, join us at Java One, then
join us for a live Talk to the Gurus session in the Discussion Boards on Friday, May 9, at 9:00 AM in San Francisco. Time in your area.

Thanks for a great conversation to:

Updated: new conversations added April 29 - May 2

Conversation 2: Build Richer Java UIs
A new tool chain makes it easy to build richer UIs for your mobile applications and content. Seamless integration among Adobe Illustrator, Ikivo Animator, Sun Netbeans, and Nokia SDKs allows designers to focus on the UI and graphics, freeing developers to focus on application logic. Check out this screen cast, then bring your questions to guru Mike Garrett with Ikivo, live from Java One, for a great Talk to the Guru session.
Wednesday, May 7, 9:00 AM San Francisco Time in the Discussion Boards. Time in your area.
