So the JavaOne sessions and BOFs are on the web site now (though there may be more in the pipeline). Here are the ones I could find related to Java games:
Desktop Games BOF, by Chet Haase (same Chet as above?) & Kenneth Russell of Sun

http://servlet.java.sun.com/javaone/sf2003/conf/bofs/display-1993.en.jspThe following will be relevant to those of you doing J2SE games:
Graphics Performance: Writing Optimized Client Applications, by Chet Haase (again), Josh Outwater & Scott Violet of Sun
http://servlet.java.sun.com/javaone/sf2003/conf/sessions/display-1440.en.jspOf course loads of other technology sessions and BOFs will be very relevant to each of us - I expect as usual to be so busy running to sessions and BOFs, I have to learn about the parties from other people's reports afterwards...
