Google will host the SVG Open 2009 conference

    The free vector graphics format SVG received unexpected support from Google, which decided to help organize the SVG Open 2009 conference , the main event of the year for all SVG designers and developers.

    The conference will be held October 2-5 at the Google Campus in Mountain View, California. Among the topics discussed are Ajax toolkits with SVG support (Raphaël, dojo, Ample SDK, SVG Web Project, JSXGraph), the implementation of SVG in Internet Explorer from the point of view of Google, the use of SVG in mobile applications, etc. (more than 60 presentations in total).

    “We at Google are delighted with the SVG format,” wroteone of the developers on Google’s corporate blog commenting on the company's decision to help organize SVG Open. - This is an open browser standard that makes it easy to create interactive web graphics with new HTML view tags such as Circle. We like it because the SVG format is part of the HTML 5 technology family and at the same time friendly to search bots, it can be easily used by JavaScript and HTML developers, exported from any graphic editors like Adobe Illustrator and perfectly translated from the server side using PHP or Google App Engine.
