7th August London Wicket Event

[Yiannis Mavroukakis <im...@gameaccount.com>]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to Cemal, Al et al for organizing 
this event, last night was very informative,
especially the Terracotta presentation.
The only gripe I've got (besides warm beer :-P ) is the frequency of the 
event..I think bi-monthly is far too far apart for
such a fast paced framework as Wicket..Any chance this can be done on a 
monthly basis?

Thanks!

Ioannis

Thanks for the kind words. I really liked Carl's Terracotta stuff -
very cool. Wille's presentation on his WicketRAD framework was also
great. It's really cool to see people getting inspired by and building
on people's code from previous meet-ups! I can't begin to tell you how
rewarding that is. ;-)

Thanks very much to everyone who came along, asked such good questions
and gave the event such a nice feel. I'm definitely thinking about
increasing the frequency if people are keen (even if it's a less
formal gathering in a pub somewhere or something). It's somewhat
dependent on the number of people who'd like to give talks and things.
Who'd be up for a monthly event?

While we're on the subject, who might be up for doing a quick talk at
the next one? I was really impressed by the scope and preparation that
went into the talks this time around, but if you just want to do a
quick demo of your Wicket-based site, or give a five minute talk with
no slides and must arm-waving, that would be cool too.

Thanks again,

Alastair

P.S. Apologies for the slightly warm beer! It was cold at 6:15pm, but
the usual rooms next to a kitchen (with a fridge) weren't available
this time around. I promise we'll fix that for next time!

Yiannis, Chris,

This is good to hear, thanks. We've been getting plenty of positive feedback
since we started this thing well over a year ago, albeit mostly verbally
until now. Perhaps your reviews here will make others aware of how much our
guests enjoy and look forward to these events.

The quality and variety of the presentations and the increasingly
interactive atmosphere we have been gently encouraging is definitely heading
in the direction I had envisaged from the start. There are a few more
improvements and unorthodox ideas that I want to gradually introduce in the
months to come which I think people would get into, especially now that we
seem to have established a healthy core group of regulars.

I'll talk to Al and we'll come back with some suggestions regarding the
frequency (if I get a chance I may set up a little Wicket component for our 
http://jweekend.com/dev/LWUGReg/ registration page  to gauge your feedback
so we don't swamp this mailing list). Several people have asked me about
this, so perhaps we could consider going back to "once a month", but I am
mindful that we do nothing to disturb the good balance and successful events
we are currently enjoying.

Regards - Cemal

PS To those who were present on August _6th_ (I don't know what event on the
7th you got us mixed up with Yiannis, but we'll accept the compliments ;-) ,
don't forget to send  http://jweekend.com/dev/ContactUsBody/ jWeekend a note 
if you'd like to be entered in the draw for the pre-paid 
http://manning.com/dashorst/ Wicket In Action MEAPS edition , let's say by
the end of next week.

I'd also like to pass on my thanks, I enjoyed meeting and chatting to you all
and I learnt a lot in the course of the evening both through the
presentations and just chatting informally. It's great to see such friendly
and talented people involved in this project.

If anyone reading this happens to be in/near London when one of these events
is on, I can say it's well worth heading along to regardless of your level
of experience with Wicket.

Cheers,
Chris
