Tim Bray reflection

Tim Bray reflecting on Andriod Hands-On:

"This event was a little bit controversial inside Google. The Android leadership (appropriately) includes people with strong consumer-electronics experience; it wasn't obvious to them that all these
open-source hippies constituted a good potential pool of mobile-app
developers.

Personally, I can't imagine a better one. We'll see if I'm right; in the
meantime, my most sincere thanks to the skeptics who gave this a chance, to David McLaughlin for marshaling resources, to Roman Nurik, Justin Mattson, and Dan Galpin for their teaching, and especially to the other Googlers and O'Reillyans who rallied around and made the not-fully-thought-through logistics run smooth."
