The conference is over, and it was a good overview of the state of SVG across many topics: the spec, browser support, JavaScript libraries, IE workarounds and usage in the mobile industry. What I was interested was to see how far is the 1.1 spec implementation in browsers supporting this technology, hacks (SVG Web) to deliver SVG content to IE users and examples of accessibility using SVG.

You can find links to all papers and presentations on the svgopen.org website if you use the Schedule page and click on presentation titles.

The paper I presented, “Rich Media Advertising with SVG and JavaScript“ or “Introducing SVG and HTML5 VIDEO element to the mainstream advertising”, had a good competition from Wikipedia presenting on the other conference track, was well received and few good points were raised by the audience.

Overall, for what I’m interested in, implementing Open Web technologies in advertising, I would say we are still not quite there in terms of browsers implementations and support, but also that is not a reason not to start doing early attempts, start with a bit simpler solutions that could work cross-browser and do preparations for the near future. Not sure how advertising Agencies will adopt something that is not having even alpha versions of tools and software available on the market, but surely we have to start somewhere.

There is no clear and strong signal that any soon IE will have native support for the SVG technology, but I hope it will be a case in near future.

When I started this blog, Blogger was baby. At the time, I thought will be cool to have mobile device to take photo and publish them somewhere to share – Flickr was not even born then. Was planing to do one myself, but hey, this is fast industry, it was already done.

Just using my Sony Ericsson phone at the time , with only 2mpx camera with VGA lenses, I started the London Today blog using the option you can email photo to it. At the time ahead of time functionality.

Few days ago, I was wearing a Blogger t-shirt, and a friend asked am I fun or a blogger. I am blogger indeed and my primary blog is gz.sunsblog.net (the one you read now), but when I came back on Blogger and saw all my old posts, and finally holding that dream blogging device in my hand, in shape of iPhone, I decided to giv the blog a go again.

And wow, things changed. New web gadgets, advertising made easy using AdSense, all possible global social networking sites offer their own API to do whatever you need to on top of them. Felt easy to set up total new layout, UI is fast and intuitive, you can hook advertising and move on in minutes. Now the last and biggest problem of the all remains – content and visitors.

See you around.
