ApacheCon / Hackathon / Blockathon

Guys,

a decision is still missing. Looking at this table...

 http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/Blockathon?highlight=%28blockathon%29

..it seems to me that meeting up at the
ApacheCon is the consensus. So if we want
to extend the official ApacheCon Hackthon
by one day we need to talk to the ApacheCon
planners and Ben ASAP!

WDYT?

cheers

+1 for me.

BTW, I totally agree with the comment on the wiki page: "(editing these 
tables in the wiki feels like eating soup with fork ;-)". ROTFL!

Note that I probably won't join before Monday the 18th, it looks like 
it would be a small number of people on the 17th.

I'm near Stuttgart (Reutlingen to be exact) since the beginning of this year.
But I guess I can not help much as I have not been in Stuttgart except at the
station in these 4 months.

I will arrive in Stuttgart at Saturday evening (16th of July) by train and I 
will stay in http://smg.nethotels.com/english/pflieger which is located at the 
center of Stuttgart, rather close to the main station and the conference venue.

I reworked http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/Blockathon so that it reflects the 
latest information about venues and participants. Please review and add your 
names into the table on the wiki page if you plan to join!

Nice! But upto now there are only three of us (Reinhard,
you and me) and I'm wondering if we really need a room in that case.
But there are still two more months until the ApacheCon takes place,
so we can wait and see if more people are comming.

Ok ...so the guys from http://100days.de
will be sponsering the meeting room on sunday.

They provide free internet access, a projector
and even some coffee :)

They asked if it would be possible to have a
small informal cocoon presentation (not more
than 30 minutes). That's not a requirement - but
I think that should be no problem ...and it would
be a nice thankyou.

Anyone stepping up?

Hi Torsten,

the forrest community is as well looking for a place to make some
workshops. I reckon the room you got is not big enough for both, cocoon
& forrest, but maybe you could sent some hints where we should look for
a place.

Good news, guys.

Seems like I've found us a meeting room on
the 17.7. in Stuttgart-Mitte. Even seems to
be not too far from the ApacheCon venue.

Can we decide this? I want to book ASAP to get (hopefully) better conditions.

Carsten:  after lunch (could arrive sooner)
Reinhard: after lunch (could arrive sooner, 10am at the earliest))

It's not 100% clear which hotel will be reserved for the speakers.
Chances are that it will be the Maritim.

Maybe we should talk about our goals for the Blockathon first. From my POV these 
are:

  - What's a block?
  - What's Cocoon core?
  - How to implement real blocks? Consider different alternatives like
    Eclipse OSGi implementation, Pier's kernel, etc. talk about the pros and
    cons.
  - Look at our code base and find ways how to do it

It was my impression too that we were aiming for a full Sunday but I think that 
many of us are not too enthusiastic about it because this would mean travelling 
on Saturday. So maybe we can find a compromise and start the blockathon on 
Sunday evening (e.g. at 6pm) and work on the first two questions.

If we are more than let's say 5 people we should try to get a seminar room in a 
hotel so that we have a flip chart and maybe a beamer. (Will anybody stay in a 
seminar hotel?)
If we are less than 5 people we don't have to prepare anything and only find a 
place (restaurant, pub, ...) where we can talk undisturbed.

WDOT?

Well... if people are arriving on Sunday there is probably no point
making that effort. I thought we were aiming for a full day on Sunday.

Ok, I just got a confirmation from Frank - no chance for sunday; we have

Now the question is, do we really want to meet on Sunday? Or isn't
Monday/Tuesday enough? I could imagine that some of us are arriving
later on Sunday anyway.

Do we have any cocooners near Stuttgart?

I've sent Ben a mail. He offered to check.
Ben, any news on that?

But I also think ...looks like we are only a
few persons. Worst case scenario we could
organize something ourselves.

Any Cocooners based in Stuttgart?
