ApacheCon 2005 SanDiego

* http://apachecon.com/2005/US/

Anyone thinking of submitting proposals for Struts presentations?

Since it looks like we will have some kind of 1.3.x release in play,
perhaps we could do something about migrating from 1.2 to Struts 1.3.
(And, if nothing else, this would give us some incentive to ensure
there is a 1.3 GA by then.)

Or, perhaps, we could propose a general Struts RoadMap presentation
(or BOF), that would cover where ever we are, and wherever we are
going, come December :)

Or, maybe both, plus one about Shale, I'm sure :)

Here's three others I'm noodling, in case anyone wants to join in. The
more the merrier!

----

.NET @ ASF

Like it or not, many open source developers are moving to the
Microsoft .NET platform -- and we're bringing our favorite tools with
us! In this session, we overview the ASF projects that are creating
software for .NET and Mono -- Logging, iBATIS, Lucene, and Struts --
and show how our products work together to create leading-edge ASP.NET
applications.

----

Mono: A kinder, gentler .NET?

Once upon a time, ASP was the dark-side of web development. Now, Mono
promises us a soup-to-nuts open source platform. In this session, we
explore writing cutting-edge applications for ASP.NET using open
source tools, like Mono, Subversion, MySQL, and SharpDevelop.

----

JIRA and Confluence: Better together?

JIRA is the issue tracking of choice for many ASF projects. But, what
happens when you add to the mix JIRA's sister product, the Confluence
wiki? In this session, we look at integrating JIRA and Confluence into
a seamless software development support system.

The unfortunate part of this is the timing ... it partially overlaps
JavaPolis in Belgium, and the timing and travel to do both would be
quite interesting.  I'd like to if I can.

PHB! They like .NET. Otherwise it's equivalent. (And I don't think much 
of tools, I am not alone: 
http://www.hacknot.info/hacknot/action/showEntry?eid=76 , I do not use 
Visual Studio, yuck)
Rumor is that C# will be default for Gnome 3. Mono and GNU C# makes it 
more "human" plus it's an ANSI standard. LongHorn is a lot like Linux in 
the  security that's in compartments, IMO. If one uses Windows... it's a 
default.

Some Java tech also has a bit of reputation in some circles (EJB?, 
WebStart?, Cross-Platform/yeah right - try Swing on Mac; the non SQL 
aproach to projects,  ...).  Even as SPARC loses it's performance myth, 
and even stock at $3... it reflects on Java.
My latest stress is that Mustang JRE will be much bigger(and it's realy 
hard to bend Sun's ear, but I did send an email to m reynolds there) and 
it's becoming slowly less readable(anotations, parametizing, ...).
That's why I do Groovy too, to make it readable and less code. (google 
does Python... and it's all the rage to mimic their aproach)

If Sun would move to remove deprecated( omg packages still in JRE, go 
look) and simplify some things, (EJB 3 does not return collections, 
maybe V4 will) it would  help some technical argument , but it just 
seems that Sun have to much middle managment to not do design by 
comitte, so everyone gets their "feature" in at expense of elegance. 
(Struts and CoR are major simplifications; that is what sucess is imo)

(another ex?: DataSource in JDNC is realy sad ... they realy need to 
visit w/ developers that put things in production. MS listens to 
developers, that is their reputation. MS deprecated datasource as such 
in C#v2! )

I hope the best from Harmony, it's hard to do O/S w/o user input.

I'm hoping to be able to attend, but I don't yet know for sure, and 
probably won't for a while. So no, I haven't thought about submitting 
anything.

This isn't the place for a discussion of it, but I'm curious as to what is 
so compelling about the .NET world that developers are moving to it even 
in the absence of the tools they are familiar with from the Java world, 
and especially when they are then expending the effort to recreate those 
tools. Why not stick to Java-land?

I'd be interested in the answer to the "what happens" question. ;-) We've 
been evaluating JIRA at my "day job", and I'm definitely impressed, to the 
point that I'd now be in favour of Struts moving to JIRA. If Confluence 
makes it even better, I'd like to know how, even if that's not likely to 
influence my "day job" (since we just switched wikis, and are not going to 
want to do that again any time soon).

Happily, the organizers were able to schedule the Struts talks
back-to-back, on Tuesday  13 December 2005 at 4:30p (TU20) and 5:30p
(TU26).  The slides for the Struts 2006 talk are available here:

I ask if they can run them back to back. I expect that most folks
interest in Struts 2006 would also want to attend Struts Shale, so we
might as well try and make it easy for them.

My Shale talk got accepted as well.  As long as you're scheduled on
Monday or Tuesday (I have to fly out on Wednesday) I should be able to
join you.

At the last minute, Don Brown and I put in for a Struts talk for
ApacheCon, which was accepted by the planners:

---

Struts 2006: An embarrassment of riches

Apache Struts is a hotbed of activity. Struts Classic 1.3, Struts
Shale, Struts Ti, Struts OverDrive. Why so many frameworks? How are
they different? Why are they all called Struts? Which is the best
choice for my next project? In this session, we step back and look at
Struts through a wide-angle lense.

---

If any of the other Struts committers make it out, I'm sure there'll
be pleny of room on the podium. :)
