Line 7:
In 1999, the JavaOne conference played host to an event called the [[Hackathon]], this event was a challenge set by [[John Gage]]. Attendees were to write a program in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] for the new [[Palm V]] using the infrared port to communicate with other Palm users and register it on the Internet.
Recently, in 2008, JavaOne became known as "VomitOne"<ref>[http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9084718]</ref> as 70 people<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90IDMBG5&show_article=1]</ref> were severely sickened by a virulent norovirus. Norovirus is most commonly spread by food contaminated with fecal matter or vomit.<ref>[http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:17AxXC7K-K4J:www.dhfs.state.wi.us/Communicable/FactSheets/PDFfactsheets/Norovirus_42075_0504.pdf+norovirus+fecal+matter+vomit&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us]</ref> It is worth noting that Sun provided free meals during the conference although there were some complaints as to the quality and service.
