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.
