You’ve got a lot to say, and we like to hear it (most of the time). So, we’ve decided to take the conversation to meatspace by opening up Widgets HQ to a limited number of Widget authors for our first ever Konfabulator Developer Day.
Join us for a day of food, fun, and Widgety goodness (not to mention a viewing of Rob’s spoon) on the Yahoo! campus in scenic Sunnyvale, CA. In addition to the pure pleasure of hanging out with the Widgets team and your fellow Widget authors, the day will be filled with interactive chats on everything related to the world of Widgets.
Attendees will get free Widgets shwag (most important) and an inside look into:
- The Konfabulator architecture, API and a preview of some new features on the way
- Widget tips & tricks, and examples of cool widgets
- Ways you can promote your Widgets to the world, and possibly make money
Come ready to talk about your Widgets and have fun.
Date: Thursday 7 June 2007 (with optional Friday AM “office hours” to get one-on-one time with our team)
Location: Yahoo! HQ (701 First Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94089)
Sign Up is Now Open Limited Seats Available!
- Be one of the first 20 people to RSVP to the event on Upcoming. Using your Yahoo!/Upcoming account, say that you’re “attending” the event.
- We’ll send you an email within the next week that will include travel recommendations and confirmation instructions.

We can’t wait to meet you and hear your feedback to help us guide the future of Konfabulator!
Very exciting news! Yahoo!’s own Douglas Crockford, one of the industry’s foremost authorities on JavaScript, will be keynoting with one of his world-famous talks on the language that is the basis of Konfabulator (i.e. JavaScript). W00t!
Hello, my name is Nawras GEORGY amd I am a freeware software developer. I heard about your Developer Day, and I really want to participate by since I leave in Syria and I cannot afford travaling, I was wondering if there is any kind of help.
[…] The friendly folks at Yahoo! Widgets (née Konfabulator) are hosting their first ever Konfabulator Developer Day on Thursday, June 7, in Sunnyvale. See the Developer Day blog post on the Yahoo! Widgets Blog for more on this event and what will be covered. […]
[…] Douglas Crockford provided a keynote talk for the 2007 Konfabulator Developer Day yesterday. His talk was entitled “Javascript: The Good Parts” — a topic of interest to Konfabulator hackers, much of whose work is done in JavaScript. […]
WIDGET DEVELOPER NEEDED!!!
I have an URGENT need for an EXPERIENCED, QUALIFIED Widget developer to design a “calendar” type widget for my business.
It will be necessary to have skills to develop an app that will notify the user (both via “pop-up” and email) when specific user added calendar events occur as well as transmit any “new” events (as they are added by the user) to us in real-time.
Looking for someone preferably with experience on multiple platforms (although will consider all qualified) as well as possibly developing a “stand alone” app that will perform the same functions but on a larger (more users/events) scale IF the initial widget project works well.
Please contact me via email at comments@csregs.com
Include Widget development experience, samples of Widgets (similar in nature to the above described project preferred) as well as your rates.
My need is IMMEDIATE.
