Today I realized that the schedule for the JavaOne 2009 is out (4 days starting from June 2nd). So I grabbed the data from this table and created a new menu entry in my TimeFinder application to import all the talks and get a feeling of how the overall timetable would look. If you build the latest version from source you can create your own schedule for JavaOne – contact me if you need assistance.
Update: Start TimeFinder here. This an alpha version where the JavaOne Import is included.
Update: Click here for a flash video.
If I would be the host I would let the people pre-enrol them before the conference starts. So that the schedule could be optimized with TimeFinder. Then a lot more people could attend what they like.
I do not attend the conference (although I would like) but this could be my schedule (a lot of conflicts, uhm):
Another cool thing about TimeFinder is that you can see easily the timetable of a lot persons or rooms. E.g. in the JavaOne example you can see which other talks one speaker has – e.g. Sean Brydon from Sun Microsystems, Inc. has the following timetable:
Update: I really forgot to publish the javaOne ‘overview’ ;-):
Navigatone 
The schedule looks impresive!!
BTW, did you use some sort of script to import the data into TimeFinder?
Best regards,
Víctor
The ‘script’ is in Java. You can find it in the source repo:
https://timefinder.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/timefinder/branches/milestonepre1/timefinder-core/src/main/java/de/timefinder/core/io/ImportJavaOne.java
which imports the .j1 file
Thanks for your quick reply,
I’ve tried compiling the milestonepre1 branch and found some problems regarding JavaOneInterval (setters StartDateTime and EndDateTime not availble). Right now I’m in a hurry, but will try later on.

Oh yes, thats true.
try:
setStart(dateTime.getMillis()) or sth. like that.
I will fix this.
Please revert to revision 490 or check this revision out again.
Then it compiled on my system with ‘mvn clean install’ under branches/milestonepre1/
Then you can start de.timefinder.planner.TimeFinderPlanner (planner package) to test the planner or start de.timefinder.core.io.ImportJavaOne (core package). Adjust the sessions_catalog.j1 file within this class to your needs.
Update
Start an alpha version with this JavaOne-functionality here:
http://timefinder.sourceforge.net/jnlp2/launch.jnlp
The latest source is now available in the trunk via:
svn checkout https://timefinder.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/timefinder/trunk timefinder
