At the Portals Meetup we'll provide you with the latest news about:

- the exiting new features planned for Jetspeed 2.2.x this year and beyond

and of course plenty of time to discuss anything else you'd like to know about!

If you like to contribute a presentation yourself, for instance about a Portals related project of your own, please add it to the wiki page, 
or you can contact me directly (ate@douma.nu).

See you all next Monday!

Regards,

Ate
