Hi Everyone,
In the upcoming ApacheCon US 2008, the ASF will be offering a
program where
in different ASF projects will be featured (each slot will have a 4hr
duration). I would like to submit some materials for Archiva for this
program. Below is a draft I made of what we could present for Archiva.
Comments, suggestions and violent reactions are welcome :-)
Sounds good :)
The first part would be a brief background on Archiva -- when and
how it all
started, what it does and how it can be used in the enterprise.
The second part of the presentation would be a short demonstration
of how
Archiva works so as to give the audience a glimpse of what it
looks like and what it does.
I wonder if we just blend that into one introduction, depending on who
is present? If they've all seen it, maybe the demo isn't needed.
The third part of the presentation would tackle
the current status of the community and the current development
of the project. This would include an introduction of the current
contributors/committers of the project, some statistics on mailing
list
traffic,
schedule and status of the next release and what to look forward to
in the
release.
I think this will be particularly helpful - and maybe how to get
involved, where help is needed most, etc.?
The fourth part would be a discussion on what the future
plans are for Archiva. This will cover the roadmap, design discussions
happening on the lists and the irc, and ideas being bounced around.
The last part would be a presentation by one or two contributors/
committers
of the project on what they are currently working on. The last
two parts can be an interactive discussion with the audience where
questions, comments and suggestions are entertained.
This could probably take up a good half of the time if we have a few
people in there - I think this is the best bit :)
- Brett
