Hi, I just wanted to thanks everyone that showed up for the little European Turbine Conference:
Martin van den Bemt St�phane MOR Diederik de Groot Bernhard Spanyar George Clernon Colm McCartan Uwe Schmidt Christiaan ten Klooster Slava Zimine Bart Selders Thomas Mahler Jason van Zyl It was fairly modest but I think it was a good first conference. It was great for me to get some feedback from users directly and see what users are actually doing with Turbine. One thing I definitely learned from the users at the conference is that the list isn't as friendly as a it could be toward new contributions: people aren't exactly sure where to make contributions and the list can sometimes be a little hostile toward new contributions. So I'll definitely try to improve that. Possibly adding a contrib/ and scratchpad/ directory to the general maven structure and just try to be more watchful for contributions. There was some great stuff at the conference: Bart has an LDAP security implementation and Christiaan has restructured Jetspeed to use Turbine 3 which is probably of definite interested to the Jetspeed group. So I definitely encourage users post pieces of code. We'll setup a contrib/ directory in each of the turbine projects (I don't think any developer will disagree with this) so that code any contribution will be visible in CVS and allow people to collaborate more instead duplicating what someone probably has already done. I know the log4j project does contrib/<username> which has worked for them so we'll do the same to try and make user contributions more visible. -- jvz.
