Here is my Google Developer Day 2007 summary:

1 day conference held around the world in London, UK, San Jose, CA US, China, Germany, France, etc.
1,500-2,000 in San Jose, CA attended (where I attended)
first ever Google developer conference
possible planning may include being a major add-on conference to JavaOne next year up in Moscone

Keynote by several key Google Developer Leads
Key News/Announcements

Google Gears (based on SQLlite)
Google Mashup Editor (based on GWT) could be huge
Google Mapplets (integrate dynamic Web site into Google Maps)

Other News/Observations

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is very popular and inversion of control compliant making it Guice compliant. Very interesting.
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) and GeoRSS are key Google Mapping technologies that third parties must now use instead of/goes further than JavaScript.
Google Checkout API (their Paypal)

I attended sessions on Gears, Mashup Editor and Mapplets, as well as a session on GWT.

Not bad for a first developer conference, one of many steps Google is taking to build a complete developer community, maybe GoogleForge.
