As a developer, he created J2ME Polish, the Open Source framework for mobile developers which he commercialized in 2005 by founding Enough Software. Enough Software works with many smaller dynamic startups and also with global players like Nokia, Motorola, Qualcomm or Telefonica so he has a deep insight into the mobile business. At the same time, Robert knows about the technical aspects and their impact on the market as he remains a passionate developer. He is always happy to share this know-how whenever possible.

Sean O'Sullivan, co-founder Rococo Software and Dial2Do.
Sean is CEO and co-founder of Rococo Software and also co-founder of Dial2Do. Regardless of title, his role with each is to help drive the technical strategy and vision. Rococo is a world leader in Java/Bluetooth technology, whose software now ships on over 200M mobile phones. Dial2Do is a service that allows you to do simple tasks by just dialing a number and speaking. You call and say “email” to send an email, “text” to send a text, and “reminder” to send a reminder to yourself, and so on. From a technical perspective, his interests are distributed systems, mobile and wireless technology, and the space where the web meets the plain old telephony system. His LinkedIn propaganda is here.
WIPJam Sessions
WIP developed Jam Sessions to fill a need missing in the mobile developer community; events that are inclusive and democratic to all members of the mobile ecosystem; and ones that create a highly interactive environment.
Our events are driven by developers. Jam Sessions are interactive and definitely not boring. We mean it when we say No PPT, No Panels and No Ties! They are a unique format for mobile and wireless developers, where we blend UnPanels with intimate discussion groups led by industry leaders and developers alike. And it's really very interactive; we make sure everyone gets a chance to be heard.
Check out the WORLD TOUR schedule for the next Jam session coming soon.
Jam on!
