01 - Torsten Schlabach:
"All about URIs or: Find your sources
(protocols from file:// to jcr:// and beyond)"
+1 Torsten's talk was one of the best last year. Though also more
technically oriented, it was and will be very interesting. So I expect
it this time too :)
02 - Carsten Ziegeler
"Past, Present and Future of the Cocoon Portal"
+0 I already heard it at ApacheCon EU.
03 - Torsten Curdt
"Rapid application development with cocoon - javaflow and the
compiling class loader"
+1 Two important topics: with Cocoon Javaflow an alternative to
Flowscript and short development cycles.
04 - Andrew Savory
"Simplifying Cocoon"
+1 Also interesting for improving Cocoon in details.
05 - Daniel Fagerström
"Cocoon Blocks"
+1 Very important of course for the near future of Cocoon.
06 - Sylvain Wallez
"Something about AJAX"
+1 Interesting, and we need at least one hype topic :)
07 - Bertrand Delacretaz
"Cocoon Bricks: best practices by example"
+1 Important as we do not want to have only technical or advanced topics.
08 - Alfred Nathaniel
"XSP Tips and Traps"
+0.5 Similar to 07. With the minor difference of being "no longer
considered a core technology".
09 - Andrew Savory / Massimo Sonego
"What we get up to with Cocoon"
+0 Being more a lightning talk could this talk not be moved to the
hackathon day?
10 - Michael Wechner
"What Daisy, Hippo and Lenya can learn from each other!"
+0 Same here.
11 - Max Pfingsthorn
"CForms libraries: How Cocoon forms libraries make your life easier"
+1 Important new stuff hopefully improving CForms very much by avoiding
code duplication.
12 - Lars Huttar
"Sitemap Browser: Using Cocoon to Explore Cocoon Sitemaps"
+0.1 I can not imagine talking a full session about it. Maybe something
that is better moved into Cocoon's documentation.
13 - Jack Ivers / Joh Berry / Scott Roth / Vadim Gritsenko
"Performance / XSLT processors running with Cocoon"
+1 XSLT can be the bottleneck of Cocoon.
14 - Nico Verwer
"Performance / A case with very big XML documents (100's of megs)"
+0.1 no details? Don't know if it's that much difference to 13. I might
be ignorant, but the worst problem with big documents is the XSLT
transformation, isn't it?
I was thinking of combining Sylvain's Ajax talk (30 mins) with Max'
CForms libraries talk (15 mins). This would then be a kind of a
"what's new in CForms" presentation (that's what Sylvain and I
discussed).
I like this very much.
Also, I was hoping to combine talk 13 (XSLT performance) and 14 (big
documents) combined with possibly a third performance talk from Pier
into a "Performance track: hints, tips and guidelines!"
See my comment on 14.
In conclusion my ranking:
Must haves:
1. 06 + 11
2. 05
3. 13
4. 03
Nice to haves:
5. 07
6. 04
7. 01
8. 08
With removing my +0.1s and +0s from the list there are exactly 8 talks
left :) So I don't think we need a second track, if we hold the talks
(in narrower terms) on the hackathon days.
