Droidcon

Droidcon is the franchise name for a series of community conferences in Europe, focused on software development for Google's Android smartphone framework.

[1][2] droidcon started in 2009 in Berlin, as a grassroots effort organized by Android developers.

So far droidcon conferences took place in Berlin,[4][5] London, Tunis,[6] Bangalore,[7] Bucharest,[8] Amsterdam,[9] Murcia, Brussels, Turin, Paris, Madrid,[10] Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Moscow, Kraków, Dubai, Zagreb, Thessaloniki, Montreal and New York.

The audience votes on presentations that they'd like to see in expanded form, and these are scheduled for later in the event.

In 2010, Lucasfilm claimed the rights to the word "droid" based on its Star Wars franchise, and issued a "cease and desist" writ against droidcon.
