The CommunityOne conference this year was on Monday, May 5, 2008, the day before JavaOne "proper". It's easy to think of CommunityOne as a "pre-JavaOne", or "JavaOne, Day 0" because, like JavaOne, it's sponsored by Sun Microsystems, it's at the same venue, and it is logistically managed as sort-of an extension of JavaOne (your JavaOne conference pass is used, but with an optional one-day add-on for CommunityOne). So why the distinct conference name and date? Aren't CommunityOne and JavaOne the same kind of conference sponsored by the same company?
