Hey Andrus,
Sorry for being lazy... I should have known this, I thought our site
was still being pulled from the objectspace site, but I didn't look
into it.
Thanks,

Hi Bill,
Here is the routine:
1. check out the site sources from here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cayenne/site/
2. Update the contents in xdocs/xml/index.xml
3. Build with ant (just type "ant")
4. Check that "target/index.html" looks the way you like it.
5. Follow the instructions printed by Ant, namely:
[echo] ==== To update the site, commit the changes and then do
this:
[echo] # ssh people.apache.org
[echo] # cd /www/incubator.apache.org/cayenne/ && svn up
[echo]

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you all know about last week @ the software
summit (www.softwaresummit.com).
I presented;
http://bill.dudney.net/roller/resources/bill/Cayenne.pdf
at the conference.
There were about 600 people there and about 60 or 70 made it to
one of the talks I did on Cayenne. Generally everyone liked the
idea of Cayenne, there was a broad range of experience with R/O
mapping, some had done hibernate but many were doing straight
JDBC or iBatis. The JDBC'ers were very impressed with Cayenne,
and the hibernater's were pumped about the modeler :-)
Over all Cayenne was well received and I hope to see at least a
little of an uptick in the user list and maybe a new developer or
two.
A couple of specific observations;
1) JPA support was high on many folks list of stuff that they
wanted to see.
2) One of the guys at the show backed up cayenne modeler to his
500+ table oracle db and the modeler pulled in all the metadata
flawlessly. He was quite impressed!
3) A lot of people still don't get the R/O thing. I was surprised
at the # of folks using iBatis to manage complex object graphs
and essentially re-implementing the relationship handling code on
top of iBatis.
If you have any notes or comments on the preso please feel free
to send them to me. I'll be updating the preso and giving it
again I'm sure. On that note it is licensed under creative
commons so feel free to use it at your local JUG or whatever to
spread the word about Cayenne.
TTFN,
