Dear Apache Sling developers and users, after last year's edition (http://adaptto.mixxt.de/) which got very good feedback from attendees, Provision and Adobe would like to organize and invite you to an event focused on our technologies, in Berlin, Germany, on September 26th-28th, called .adaptTo(Berlin) 2012.
A brief description of the event follows below; please note that this is kept in a draft fashion to let the communities (Sling, Jackrabbit) shape its final content and organization. So please let us know if you are interested, what suggestions and what questions you would like to post, and, most of all: what you want to present or you would like to see presented at .adaptTo(Berlin) This is a brief description which we also put up on the web site: .adaptTo(Berlin) is a technical meetup focused on the technical stack of Apache Sling including Apache Jackrabbit and Apache Felix and is adressed to all developers using this stack or parts of it. Specific content will be focused on Adobe CQ5, the commercial WCM system whose infrastructure is based on the Sling stack and the commercial JCR Implementation Adobe CRX. This event is sponsored by Adobe Systems and pro!vision GmbH which also acts as host. The goal of this meetup is the consolidation of the experience and knowledge of the existing Apache Sling, Apache Jackrabbit and Apache Felix community and to introduce the complete Sling stack to newcomers. To achive this goal we'll try to bring developers and users (which means developers who work on top of this framework) together, talking about the framework and presenting solutions or best practices. Attendees that have not much experience with one or more parts of this stack will get the chance to get a kickstart introduction to Apache Jackrabbit, Apache Felix and Apache Sling on the first day. Day 1 of this meetup will therefore give unexperienced attendees the possiblity to learn the basic principles of this technological stack, while experienced users can set up free meetups in the style of a barcamp. Day 2 & 3 will include session on the open source Apache projects, Apache Sling, Apache Felix and Apache Jackrabbit, as well as some breakout sessions focused on Adobe CQ5 and CRX. The idea is to have a good mix of presentations, hands-on sessions, free discussions and maybe even workshops or a hackaton. Note: This is only a draft how we think this event could work, but since this is a community driven event, further planning and discussion of the contents of the meeting will be continued in the public mailinglists. where/when: Berlin, September 26-28 2012 Target audience: Developers working with Sling, Jackrabbit, CQ and other related projects. Regards Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler PMC Chair Apache Sling cziege...@apache.org
