Hi,
I like the suggestions so far, they sound great
just a few spur of the moment thoughts on what I would like to see...
- optimisation techniques, (efficient, performant Cocoon) across the
whole lifecycle of an application
- the secret gems of Cocoon (what do people not know about that is
really cool)
- interactive apps, authentication, user tuned content
- how to get involved (find out what the community needs from
contributers)
will have more of a think later,
regards,
Ross McDonald

Hi folks,
We need your ideas! What would YOU like to see at this year's
Cocoon GetTogether???
This year's Cocoon conference will be held again in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, from Monday, October 2nd, until Wednesday, October
4th. Faster and funkier than ever!
The GetTogether event runs as a series of presentations on
different aspects of Apache Cocoon. Several short tracks will give
you insight on all aspects of Cocoon, from generator to serializer
and from CForms to AJAX, packed with with real success stories and
best practices. There's plenty of time for interaction and probing
questions. Whether you're a Cocoon developer or user, either
expert, beginner, or only curious, this event is for you. Want to
know more about the technology and the people behind it? Come join
us at this year's Cocoon GetTogether in Amsterdam!
But first, we'd like to hear everyone's ideas on WHAT you would
really, *really* like to see:
* Which parts of Cocoon would you like to see demonstrated?
* Which bits of code would you like to see projected on a huge
screen in big,
*big* letters, with the author right next to it, explaining you
exactly how and *why*
he wrote it like that?
* Which parts of Cocoon do you find utterly complicated and would
you like to get some help with?
* What would you like your boss to get demonstrated? (convince him
to use Cocoon :-) )
* ...maybe you've got some Cocoon wizardry yourself to share at the
Lightning Lottery Talks?
Everyone is free to send in a list of subjects for which he or she
would travel all the way to Amsterdam.
There's no program yet. This year's program is up to YOU - so send
in those ideas!
Here's a couple of them to get you started:
- Success stories (why someone chose Cocoon, for what, what was
great and what not?)
- Comparison of Cocoon with other web frameworks
- Why should I upgrade to 2.2?
- Some howto's / best practices for
- Configuration
- Using Spring
- Building Cocoon
- 10 Reasons to use Cocoon
- A "What's new in 2.2 and how to use it track" with different
topics, 5 to 10min per topic.
- What's up for Cocoon 3.0?
- The Funky Cocoon AJAX tour (with lots of samples!)
- A short (!!) introduction to OSGi (what's all that fuzz about?!)
- Practical case studies, where people show how they are using
Cocoon, the high-level
architecture of their apps, what they're integrating Cocoon with,
what makes their app
unique, etc. We could to 20+10 (20 minutes prez, 10 minutes
questions) slots for this,
and have at least 4 or 6 of them during the day.
We're all using Cocoon in wildly different ways, which is one of
its major strengths - let's show this at this year's GetTogether!
Please add your thoughts!
