After weeks of organising sponsorship, location and other details of this event, I'm glad to finally announce the .adaptTo(Berlin) meetup for the 15th and 16th of september 2011. The event will be located at Betahaus Berlin (Kreuzberg) and will be open for a maximum of 100 participants.
.adaptTo(Berlin) is a technical meetup focused on the technical stack of Apache Sling and is adressed to all developers using this stack. This event is sponsored by Adobe Systems and pro!vision GmbH which also acts as host. Due to this sponsorship there is just an obligatory price of 15€ for this meetup. Beside the location and the basic presentation equipment, we will provide you with some additional features which we will announce in detail soon. The goal of this meetup is the consolidation of the experience and knowledge of the existing Apache Sling community. To achive this goal we'll try to bring develeopers and users (which means developers who work on top of this framework) together, talking about the framework and presenting solutions or best practices. To have some real benifit from this event you should have at least basic knowledge about this technological Stack (JCR, OSGi, Sling, REST). Day 1 of this meetup will focus on the pure Open Source Apache Sling Stack (including Apache Felix and Apache Jackrabbit), discussing ideas and common problems as well as presenting best practices and technical details of the framework (like the latest changes). Day 2 will be open for talks and discussions on any solution based on this stack. Since Adobe Communiqué 5 ist the biggest commercial solution based on this stack, CQ 5 will be the main focus of this day, but any other product/solution based on this stack is more then welcome to be presented and discussed. The agenda will be announced as soon as we have enough confirmed talks for a first draft and be published on http://adaptto.mixxt.de where all information will be made available. Registration will be open until 19th of august 2011. One last word... .adaptTo(Berlin) is planned as interactive meetup with talks comming from the community, so it is your turn to fill one of our 45 or 90 minute slots to present your solutions and experiences. Developers of Adobe Systems and pro!vision GmbH will give some talks, but we would be pleased to have various speakers and encourage you to present your solutions. Speakers should enter their proposals as soon as possible, since we want to publish an agenda draft till mid of august. Please enter the topic in the wiki till 5th of august and send me the slides or at least a description of what your talk will cover till 12th of august. (dsu...@pro-vision.de) That way we can make sure to get a manifold agenda and set up a proper timetable.
