Is Geronimo performance tuning a good topic to cover? I guess we don't
have some nice materials on this topic currently?

Sure. All good potential topics. We don't have to list all potential  
topics.


Thanks for the feedback, all.

I was, just giving people a reminder...



I really am fine with it just as it is worded.   However, here are  
some other thoughts.
- Do we need to clearly state that Geronimo delivers (out of the  
box) a fully compliant Java EE Server in addition to stating that  
the plugins can be used to assemble one?


No. Was kind of thinking ahead to the track description, not just the  
call for papers. Don't think it hurts. So, will leave it...


- In listing the subprojects should we mention JavaMail, Component  
and Transaction support?


Sure. 'etc' was easier than typing. ;-) They are certainly more  
interesting than 'Specs'...


- Do we want to mention anything about choice in core server  
components when building server configurations - for example support  
for both Tomcat and Jetty or CXF and Axis2?


One other potential topic - custom server assemblies


Agreed.

Updated version...

Apache Geronimo is a lightweight, flexible, component-based server for  
building dynamic application server environments. Geronimo plugins can  
be assembled into a fully compliant Java EE Server. However, it can be  
easily assembled into a server providing a subset of functionality or  
a minimal subset required to meet the requirements of a set of  
applications. In addition to the Apache Geronimo Server, the Geronimo  
project is also comprised of a number of subprojects: Development  
Tools, XBean, Yoko, GShell, JavaMail, Connector/Transaction, etc.


Potential topics for the Geronimo Track include, but are in no way  
limited to:

  * Geronimo architecture,
  * Systems management,
  * Custom server assemblies,
  * Application development and user experiences,
  * OSGi Blueprint,
  * Kernel restructuring,
  * Java EE 6,
  * etc.

All,
There will be a Geronimo Track at ApacheCon US '09. We will be sharing a
full day with the Directory Project. This means that we'll have 2 to 3
50 minute time slots. We have some flexibility on how we format these
time slots. So, IIUC, we can sub-divide these time slots, if we desire.

I've put together the following proposed Track Description. Comments
much appreciated. I'd like to settle on the track description quickly,
if possible. And hope we can start discussing talk proposals and track
formats, real soon.

Please let me know your thoughts on the above. Also, please start  
thinking about potential talks. However, please don't start making  
specific talk proposals, yet.


Finally, we will need to discuss our selection process for talk  
proposals. I would prefer that we reach our talk decisions on our  
public mailing list, rather than our private@ mailing list. This  
could be a bit sensitive, however. So, I would appreciate your  
thoughts. If we're concerned about potential harm this might cause,  
it's possible that some sort of anonymous vote could be held.
