Hi,
Just checking in with folks to see if anyone is planning ApacheCon talks.

1. "fear the repository police". We will pick people in the audience and beat them with rolled up copies of the pom schema until they promise not to publish invalid metadata. we will start off with "Is there anyone here who works on commons-logging?",


It will soon be impossible to publish invalid metadata.

2. Something on big project ant; ivy, import &c. Mostly how to use these concepts effectively and so have a scaled build that doesnt force you to throw away all your existing build process.

Interesting as one of my topics in the Maven Enterprise BOF is the conversion of huge project that basically retained 95% of it's Ant scripting, except it is packaged up in Maven plugins to be maintainable, and understandable.

3. Work related: something on virtualization; how to use amazon EC2 to host apache httpd and the like, what works, what doesn't (persistence, mainly). We'd use smartfrog to manage the deployments and maybe show using linuxcoe/instalinux to create the amazon Xen image at build time based on the RPM list you have under SCM.

4. I've invited the TestNG people and Xavier of Ivy fame to submit proposals. Both would be good. BTW, there's lots of unhappiness in TestNG-users about SureFire; someone should talk to them about their needs.


Kenney is working on the surefire plugin as we speak.
