Pourquoi pas?

Pourquoi ne peut-on pas avoir des conférences comme celle-ci, avec des mini-events comme celui-ci en parallèle en Romandie? Ou encore comme celle-ci? Ou bien comme cette autre! Ou celle-là!

Pourquoi pas? Est-ce que le marché est trop petit? Y a-t-il un manque d’intérêt général? Je pense que le problème est important, et qu’une grande partie de l’élan technologique local est étouffé par ce manque d’une grande conférence technique chez nous.

WWDC Schedules in iCal format

For those attending WWDC, and wanting to have the module complete schedule in iCal (as suggested by TUAW), I’ve created a small script (using Prototype) that will transform the JSON data of the official WWDC schedule into calendar files, which you can save and load into iCal.

This script was featured in another TUAW entry! Thanks to Mat for the link!

Enjoy! I hope this will be useful to you. By the way, if you’re attending WWDC, just leave a comment below.

Update, 2008-05-26: Thanks to Jeff LaMarche for posting a link to the calendars from the cocoadev mailing list, and to Second Gear for using the calendars with their own products! :)

WWDC 2008: I’ll be there!

I’ve just bought my e-ticket for Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference 2008! This one will be the first one featuring iPhone developer tracks, and that’s one of the main reasons for me to go. Another good one is that neither Claudia nor me know San Francisco, so it’ll be a great time to hang out and visit the city.

Will you be there? Feel free to leave me a comment and we’ll meet at San Francisco, from June 9th to 13th!
