Subject: Re: [Wtr-development] 2012 Watir Day

Jarmo,

So far no one has volunteered to help host a conference in London, so I'm not 
sure that votes matter. Last year, the Selenium team offered to help us host a 
Watir Day in conjunction with their conference. That was great and we 
appreciated it and took advantage of the offer. They have not made a similar 
offer this year, so we need to decide what we are going to do.


Alister and I spoke over the weekend and are currently pursuing an Austin-based 
event that will focus less on Watir per se and more on how to build effective 
frameworks to support BDD and Specification by Example.

Let me chime in too :)
When it comes to location, i would prefer London when not taking the weather 
into consideration. But maybe we should find out how many interested people do 
we even have and make some poll having a statement like "if there would be a 
Watir conference then where would you like to see it happening: a) London, b) 
Austin, c) SF, d) other" or something like that?



What would be the targeted audience? Testers? Developers? Both? My point is 
that it doesn't make sense to have a workshop about developing Watir when most 
of the attendees are writing daily tests.



I'm not going to promise anything, but depending of the time/location/other 
things i might be good to give a talk/presentation on WatirSplash using 
Watir/Watir-WebDriver or something similar.

I don't think it is an AWTA. There are a number of things we have done at AWTA 
that we aren't planning to do this time.

1. AWTA is by invitation only. Applicants must apply. They are not added to the 
mailing list until they have been accepted.




2. AWTA makes no distinction between presenters and attendees. Same application 
and fees for all.
3. AWTA has been limited to 25 people.
4. AWTA has never had sponsors.

I'm happy to discuss relaxing these rules, but that conversation needs to 
happen on the AWTA list (by those of you have been to AWTA before).





I agree, it does need a name.

Do we need another group? We could use [email protected]:
