SDForum Emerging Technology SIG

Even though there was no Emerging Technology SIG meeting this month, there’s still plenty at SDForum for Emerging Technology junkies.

For example, I’m excited by the Architecture SIG’s meeting this month. John Kern is going to talk about design principles and architectural precepts for mobile software. It’s a great opportunity for those of us who have sat out the not-yet-occurred mobile revolution to learn a lot from a guy who’s been on the frontlines for a long time.
Even more exciting– John just sent me an e-mail saying the talk is getting better by the minute:

I was talking with Chris Hofmann of the Mozilla Foundation about my talk on the 26th. Along with Doug Turner, they are the guys behind the Mimino (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/). They have agreed to join me. That’s great! My talk focuses on developing applications. Their forte is extending the web to the handset.

Major Kudos to Ron Lichty, the primary chair of the SAM SIG, for continuing to organize and run such an excellent forum.
