A Free Day of Javascript on Mobile at Google HQ - The Next Web

These days it's hard to ignore the groundswell of the co-mingling of the words “mobile” and “HTML5″. Mobile is where it's at in 2011 (if it wasn't already in 2010) and most are betting on HTML5 and the mobile web to cope with the rapidly multiplyingpermutations and fragmentation of OS devices, and form factors. As Facebook CTO Brett Taylor was quoted in the WSJ recently, Mobile is the primary focus for our platform this year, and HTML5 is the future platform, thats where were putting a huge amount of our resources.

This past Thursday, January 27, 2011 a grassroots style event took place at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA. A Free Day of Javascipt on Mobile attracted some of the best mobile web minds in the Bay Area to discuss the current state and future of javascript on mobile and the mobile web in general.

MJG International led by Marc Grabanski organized the event in a matter of weeks. The event was practically unpublicized, primarily spread by word of mouth (a.k.a Twitter), yet “sold out” in just 23 minutes! Did I mention it was free? with free t-shirts? free food? and noblatantsales pitch?

This conference is about getting together with people who want to build and create cool things with great people. Its not about creating a conference business, hence the decision to make it free and keep independent of cash sponsors. – MJG
