- JavaOne feels like OpenWorld's little brother
I think that we should especially focus on this. The numbers that
I know are: 41,000 total attendees; in the past J1 was about
15,000 (?); supposing the figure didn't change this year, this
means that 26,000 are for Oracle OpenWorld. If the ratio of
attendees is 2:1, I don't see how to avoid that J1 is the little
brother. Frankly, I'd like to know why the "boring" OpenWorld
attract twice as people than the "cool" JavaOne...
JaveOne had 20,000 attendees at its peak (early 2000 if I recall
correctly). I hear that this year is more around 3,000 with all the
rest being OpenWorld attendees.
Let's not count this year - a lot of people could have not joined
because of the news of the past months. Let's make the computation from
the past year. In any case, the lower the J1 attendees count, the
stronger my question. With such a unbalanced ratio, how one can ask
Oracle for same care? Of course, one could just conclude that there's no
more meaning in J1. For what concerns me, I've already said multiple
times that the best conference in the world is Devoxx. The "problem"
with Devoxx is that american (intended as a continent) and asian people
don't come there, as they do for J1, and so there are less persons to meet.
