Code for the I/O app is meant to serve as an example of best practices for Android developers, providing fully functioning implementations of the latest design principles, UI controls, networking code, and more.
It has become something of a tradition to release the source code for the I/O scheduler app, although this is only the 3rd time it has been done.

It includes maps, event schedules, the conference agenda, and detailed information about all sorts of devvy stuff.
