Rave/Wookie meetup at ApacheCon Vancouver 9 Nov

[Sander van der Waal <sa...@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]

Hi all,

As discussed earlier on the Rave-dev list [1], we'd like to get together 
at ApacheCon Vancouver, 7-11 November. Although listed as a Rave event I
believe there's enough of a shared interest to make our activities 
relevant for the Wookie community and it can be an opportunity to discuss
existing/potential collaborations between the projects.

On Monday and Tuesday, there will be an opportunity to get together for 
hacking. There will be a big room with plenty wifi and power and coffee(?) 
for anyone interested to hack on Wookie/Rave/whatever you like. I'll be 
there on both days. 

The main conference is on Wed - Friday. After the previous discussion 
I've indicated to the organisers that we'd like to have a Rave meetup on 
Wednesday night. Since there are efforts going on to integrate 
functionality from Wookie and Rave I think it'd be interesting for 
people here to be there if they can make it. The meetup is also listed 
on the ApacheCon wiki [2]. *Please go there and +1 the meetup if you can 
come along. That is important to let the organisers know about the 
interest in the meetup.* 

There's not really a schedule for the meetup (yet) but one of the things 
that might be good to discuss is the overlap or opportunities for 
is talk about a project we're running here in Oxford that is building 
tighter collaboration between Wookie and Rave. Another topic I'd like to 
discuss is the templates we're developing in Rave in Context [3]. 

I look forward to seeing many of you in Vancouver! 

Sander

Thanks Sander,

I've added +2 to the "interested" column [1], one for myself and one
for Steve Lee who will be there as my guest.

My interests are in getting as many non-Rave people there as possible.
I'd like to see us covering things like "why might I use Rave". There
will be beer and I  would hope we can attract 5-10 interested parties
from outside the existing community.

Rave-in-Context is a good example use case for this. The tighter
integration work you talk about might me more appropriate for the
Hackathon time. But I'm willing to be persuaded by the majority.
