Hi

I will probably go to the FOSDEM, it is not that far. Maybe I could make a demo of JMonkeyEngine 3.0. I don't feel comfortable enough with Firefox OS to try something with it yet.

Hi

What's new about FOSDEM? The deadline is today :s

good morning and happy new b'ak'tun 'maya long count calendar' \m/

Thank you Julien and Sven I think we are set!
I have filled in some blanks  and added my own bio and I am now about to send in the following talk to the FOSDEM 2013 Free Java DevRoom:


* Title Funny titles appreciated, but please do include the name of your project.

JogAmp Fast Media & Processing regardless whether the JVM is slow or not :)

       
* Abstract (at least two paragraphs)
Presenting JogAmp, a media and processing library for mobile and desktop devices
on top of Java. We will introduce you to the platform agnostic open-source API,
which allows you to use JOAL/OpenAL, JOGL /OpenGL and JOCL/OpenCL across devices.
A demonstration on multiple devices including a PC will conclude this session.

In this session, we will present JogAmp, a media and processing library for mobile and
desktop devices on top of Java. JogAmp's objectives are to provide platform agnostic
modules to application developers, allowing them seamless access to the OpenAL, OpenGL
and OpenCL APIs. JogAmp allows writing applications suitable for desktop machines (Linux,
Windows, OSX, Solaris) as well as for embedded and mobile devices (Linux, Android,
Windows). Support for more platform can be easily achieved and performed by ourselves or
user base, possible due to the open-source nature of the project. We will outline the
architecture and describe the simplicity of it's usage with code samples.
We will show you live demonstration of demos running on PC and mobile devices, including Phones and Tablets running on Linux and Android. The demos will utilize the OpenGL ES2 compatibility profile, video decoding APIs and device specifics.
JogAmp is available at http://jogamp.org

consultant. Previously he worked for Sun Microsystems, Inc. driving the new Java Plugin with
JNLP Support, enhancing the JOGL project and working with a team on an experimental new
multimedia toolkit. He was also employed by ATI & AMD leading development of an
embedded OpenGL driver for the aviation industry. He consulted Harman/Becker, Siemens
and others in the embedded multimedia field focusing on platform neutrality, including
graphics technology with high performance objectives. In 1997 he started an OpenGL
language binding for Java called GL4Java.

Maybe you can add a bit more to your guys BIO, so it is more balanced .. or
squash the 'serious' stuff from mine.
But I leave that up to you, who has more insight in the FOSDEM 'style'.

Thank you Xerxes.

Ok we are good to go!
The Free Java Dev Room Committee have voted us in.

They now seek portrait photos for the speakers Julien, Sven and me in 128x128 pixel, PNG format to be used public on the fosdem speaker "bio" page.

We also need to plan how to fit the talk and demonstrations inside a 40min time-frame.

Full mail below:

@neugens there's a bug in my abstract. First sentence appears twice.

@raoulUK yeah, it's not a bug... The website has merged abstract and description. I will fix this tomorrow

I sent my picture yesterday. I will use my smartphone to make some videos, I will upload them on MediaGoblin.

Julien you picture is now online!

I have created a bugzilla entry to keep track of things we need to fix before the talk:

Our slides and videos are online ..

Thank you all for your support.

.. and while just uploaded the video I do know who we forgot
to give credit: Harvey Harrison for Java3D - SORRY!

Will add you next time, hopefully he & all of you can join us
