Cocoon Real-Life Events

[Stefano Mazzocchi]

It's great to see so many cocoon people talking together in real life. Too bad the two events happen at the same time.

First of all, I'd like to thank Steven, Marc and Bruno for the effort they put into the Cocoon GetTogether 2002 in Ghent, Belgium. I hear only great comments and this makes me proud of this community even if I couldn't attend. A great happy birthday to Outerthought!

Second, I'd like to thank all the people that attended the Cocoon BOF at ApacheCON 2002. It was great to be able to express things with a much higher bandwidth.

Third, I would love to have Cocoon Hackatons where developers could fill a single room and talk about Cocoon design for a full day or so. I will look for ways to make this possible and economically feasible.

Forth, the ASF just established a fund-rasing commitee. I talked with the ASF conference committee and they say that it's entirely possible that Apache partecipates officially in the production of project-related real-life events. Whether this means *money* is yet to be estimated, also depending on the money raised by the fund-raising commitee. Anyway, FYI.

Fifth, Andrew Oliver made extensible comments on what he doesn't like on Cocoon, mostly lack of quality in some parts of the code, lack of unit tests and painfully slow patch-injecting process. As a result, I proposed him commit access and he said it would like to help. I'll follow up with a specific email for a vote on that.

Finally, I would like to thank (sarcasticly) Peter for taking those pictures of me at the BOF and placing them on the web. :-Prrr
