Google I/O, our annual developer conference, begins in just two days, and this year, we’re bringing you more than 130 technical sessions, 20 code labs and 155 Sandbox partners. If you’re not here in San Francisco, you can still sign up for one of our 350+ I/O Extended events around the world or tune in to I/O Live to watch the live stream from wherever you are. This year’s conference kicks off on June 27 with the first day’s keynote at 9:30 a.m. and the second day’s keynote on June 28 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, so tune in early at developers.google.com/io to avoid missing the action!

Next week, Google will join the Internet speed community at the Velocity 2012 conference in Santa Clara, California. This will be our fifth year at the O’Reilly Velocity Web Performance and Operations Conference. We hope to see you there as we introduce the latest in faster web browsing and exchange and advance ideas to speed up the web.
From the client to the backend, Google is accelerating the web experience. Come hear Google's latest insights for performance metrics, page design, backend design, user prediction, browser tools, networking protocols and how to use them to make the mobile and desktop web experience faster. Studies show that people stay engaged longer and interact more on faster websites, and the talks we’re putting on will help you take advantage of all the benefits speed brings. Googlers will present:
- Understanding and Optimizing Web Performance Metrics by Bryan McQuade
- Taming the Mobile Beast by Matt Welsh and Patrick Meenan
- Stronger and Faster with Steve Souders
- Predicting User Activity to Make the Web Fast by Arvind Jain and Dominic Hamon
- Lightning Demos with Bryan McQuade, Patrick Meenan, and Steve Souders
- SPDYing Up Your Site by Matthew Steele and Roberto Peon
- Selecting and Deploying Automated Optimization Solutions by Patrick Meenan
- Got Performance Anxiety? Using Website Performance Tools to Test, Optimize and Improve Load by Patrick Meenan
- Using Google Sitespeed and PageSpeed products to debug, improve, measure, and iterate by Matt Atterbury and Mustafa Tikir
- Lightning Demos by Nat Duca
- Browsers with Tony Gentilcore
For a complete list of speakers and details on each presentation, please visit the Velocity schedule online.
We encourage you to stop by our booth (#101) in the exhibit hall on Tuesday, June 26 and Wednesday, June 27. At the booth, Google engineers will give informal tech talks, answer questions, and run demos during conference breaks. We’ll have a mix of general and technical topics for those who stop by, including:
- Ilya Grigorik on Measuring user perceived latency with Google Analytics Site Speed reports: hands on demo and insights
- Wenbo Zhu on HTTP streaming - discuss the true latency bottleneck with bi-directional HTTP streaming and "full-duplex HTTP"
- Patrick Meenan on Async Scripts and why you care, particularly for third-party content
- Patrick Meenan on Measuring Web Performance
- Pradnya Karbhari on PageSpeed Automatic Optimizations
- Mustafa M. Tikir on Site Speed Reports in Google Analytics: Measuring your website's performance
- Libo Song on PageSpeed Insights for Chrome with mobile support - Demo
- Chris Bentzel with Q&A: Your Chrome Wishlist, Suggestions, and Questions

A number of us from Google attended this year’s IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, held May 20-23 (known as the “Oakland” conference, despite being held in San Francisco this year). The three day, single track main conference featured some of the best work in Security and Privacy, and spanned from pure research to state-of-the-industry reports. I enjoyed hearing about security and flash memory, unpatched bug detection, and a much-anticipated report on commercially deployed single-sign-on web services, among other things.A highlight for me was Session 11: Passwords. Despite all our schemes for replacing passwords (including my own), they show no signs of going away anytime soon. This session included both excellent analysis of real systems, and a presentation of a framework for evaluating web authentication. For me, the authors breathed new life into a topic often avoided.I was also happy to hear Googler Xin Zhang present a paper on network security he co-authored while at CMU:- Secure and Scalable Fault Localization under Dynamic Traffic Patterns by Xin Zhang, Chang Lan, and Adrian Perrig
This year, Google was a Gold sponsor of the symposium, supporting student travel grants and the Best Student Paper Award—Memento: Learning Secrets from Process Footprints, by Suman Jana and Vitaly Shmatikov from University of Texas at Austin. We presented a demo of some of our security work-in-progress at our table in the lobby.Attendees watch demo of Belay at our table in the lobby The project, Belay, explores a method to achieve authorization without authentication in general, specifically for web based accounts. We demoed the system from our live running prototype (here are background slides for the demo). The “demo-in-the-lobby” format led to great discussions each day. We enjoyed being able to share some of Google's security work with the symposium.Project Belay presentation It was great to have the opportunity to spend three days with some of the best people in the field, and I go back to my research thinking of the great technical presentations and hallway discussions. I'm glad that as a Googler I was able to be a part of it.0Add a comment
