Google IO is closed!!

This year, the main Google event of the year was filled to capacity in less than a day!!

Alumni from the 2010 event got early notification. Since I only was at 2008 and 2009, I did not get early notification, even though I did ask Google for this. It looks like the only way to get in next year is to make frequent contact with this year's attendees.

It looks like Google needs to use the entire Moscone Convention Center which would allow for double or triple the number of attendees.

Come to Plug In 2010!

Do you have a vision for a killer Plug Computer application? If so, join in on Wednesday, August 18th, from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. PST at the Marvell Santa Clara Headquarters for Marvell's first annual Plug In! Developer Camp. This meeting is an opportunity to participate in a full day of collaboration with the best and brightest minds from the Plug Computer ecosystem.

Plug In will include three tracks and sessions of technical information for developing applications for the Plug Computer - an open source, green server. There will also be a session on porting applications to other platforms featuring ARMADA application processors.

Thousands of developers have already started to Plug In - developing everything from easy to use applications for tracking blood pressure, media management, home automation and even personal automotive applications. For more information, email plugcomputer@marvell.com.

Update, 8/10: It seems that the organizers will be charging $49 for the day. Here's the new reg link:
