[LDAP] [Conference] Doing a dinner and learning session?

Hi all,

I know many of us will be at the LDAP conference  [0]. This is a great
opportunity for us to get
together and discuss the various issues we have to confront and the
technologies we can use
for them. I'm not referring to specific initiatives like replication etc
that only a few use but rather
issues and choices we are going to have to make that effect us all as a team
like:

Testing (these itests take too long)
Container Approach
Refactoring the Core
RoadMap and Scrum Process
Builds
Documentation

(Please add to this list if you have more topic ideas)

The idea here is to have each person look into some technology that might
help in one or more of
these areas.  We all don't have time to investigate everything like GBeans,
XBean, OSGi etc for
the container approach.  However a couple of us can learn one approach we
can take and give a
quick 10-15 minute presentation on it explaining the technology and it's
benefits.  After
presentations on each subject we can step back and look at the subject
together so we can
spend some time disucssing how to use the various technologies and talk
about pros/cons for
each.  We don't need to make technical or project decisions but we can
educate each other and
discuss applicability.

What we can do is meet in a hotel room or conference room in the hotel after
the conference has
finished for after hours drinks and snacks.  Perhaps we might not want to do
this if we're going
to hang out with some folks from the conference after hours.  I don't know
but I thought it was
still worth posting the idea of such a thing.  If you guys are interested
I'd like to start having each
of us pick something to research that we can discuss.

For me:

   XBean
   JUnit 4.4

I would like to look into JUnit 4.4 and XBean to figure out how we can
tackle some issues with
testing and containers respectively.

Actually we can do it on any day you like but I really like the idea of
doing it on Wednesday
night if you can come earlier because this is the best night which is not on
a conference night.

Thursday will be hectic with meeting all sorts of LDAP people and I would
not like to pull anyone
away from shmoozing etc.  And Friday is when all are leaving.  So the best
day really is
Wednesday night.

Hi Alex!

Do you think about the evening of September 05 (Wednesday) or September 
06 (Thursday)? Or both? I have not decided on which day I'll arrive 
(Wednesday eve or Thursday morning), but these "sessions" would probably 
influence me.

I like your idea of discussing things, the opportunity of so many people 
grouped together in one location is quite attractive. Although I am 
mostly interested in getting to know all of them (I have not seen 
anybody from the project face to face yet). Besides that I am interested 
in the documentation and the testing area.

I will probably not be able to prepare anything, because the book is 
still not finished yet (sh...). But if anybody is interested, I can 
share my Open Group/LDAP certification knowledge, which would apply to 
the testing area to some degree.

See you near the cathedral

Hi,

I'll be in Köln at 23:40 (local time) on Wednesday. So I won't be available
that evening. It seems I'll miss the meeting.
