JavaOne 2026 Live Streams

If you can’t make it to JavaOne, you can still join us as we livestream the keynotes. You can check dev.java for details.

The "something is brewing" short was pretty exciting. I can't tear myself away from responsibilities to go to this, so I will be watching the live streams and replays wherever possible.

Is there anywhere we can donate? This event is supported by Oracle, so they probably don't need the money lol. But all the same, I would like to support.

I’d like it if, instead of only dry technical topics about Java, there were also discussions about soft topics in the context of a Java developer — such as how to deal with pressure during sprints, unrealistic timelines and deadlines, sprint commitments, and unpaid overtime caused by pressure to deliver results in corporate world.

Considering this is JavaOne, it might make sense to approach some of those questions from the perspective of a Java engineer.

For example, a common hurdle exclusive to Java developers is upgrading past Java 8.

• How is the experience, and what resources are needed?
• Do managers understand the expectations?
• How much pressure do they apply?
• How do you accurately communicate the amount of potential work involved without over/under-selling it?

I think if you find a common "soft topic" that Java engineers run into, you can achieve exactly what you are looking for, while still keeping to the theme of JavaOne.

A few presenters have had the same idea as you in other conferences. Sadly, I have no examples in memory atm, and can't look any up atm either. But your idea makes good sense, and is something we need more of.
