DevJam was great…
… but apparently not where the action really was.
Returning home I was greeted by an INBOX containing:
- Reworked JComponent and JViewport painting for much faster and flicker free swing by Roman.
- An imageio BMP-reader plugin by Sven.
- The start of java.util.Formatter by Tom.
- Completion of BoxLayout by Roman.
- Diffie Hellman key algorithms by Casey.
- A real DomainCombiner implementation by Santiago and Casey.
- javax.sound.midi implementation by Anthony.
- generic signature parsing code by Jeroen.
And another 60 “smaller” patches (and that is not doing justice to the work done by David, Lillian, Tony, Andreas and the others, but just summarizing everything would have taken me the rest of the day!) Truly an amazing amount of work done for a “long weekend”.
For an account of what was discussed at DevJam see the new blog of Andrew Haley. Lots of talk and little new code… It was very inspiring, but maybe I should just stay home when we are going to do DevJam++ to compensate for all the real work the amazing hackers above did!
