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.
Speaking as someone who also works on commons-logging (*ducking*), is
there work being done on a maven-repo-compliant-plugin or something
similar that could be run on every pom that is submitted through
MAVENUPLOAD? I.e. confirming to the rules set up here:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ibiblio-upload.html
If not, I think I could put something together.
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.
