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.
*************************************************************
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, Specs, etc.
Potential topics for the Geronimo Track include, but are in no way
limited to:
* Geronimo architecture,
* Systems management,
* Application development and user experiences,
* OSGi Blueprint,
* Kernel restructuring,
* Java EE 6,
* etc.

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.
