The sixth edition of the Cocoon GetTogether needs your help! We want
you to come on stage and talk about "all things Cocoon", the best
topics being end-user experience, and reallife, down-to-earth
demonstrations of best practices around Apache Cocoon or it's related
projects.
Please take a look at the below list of ideas and see if there's one
or more subjects that you would like to talk about. Talks on different
subjects are most definitely welcome! The list below is only there as
a guideline to help you in finding a good subject, not to limit your
originality.
ANYONE is invited to send in a proposal - even if you prefer doing a
really short talk, or perhaps a four hour tutorial, don't hesitate to
send it in! And no... You don't have to be a committer to do a talk.
If you want to present during the GetTogether you are kindly requested
to send in a presentation proposal. Presentation topics will be
screened for cluefulness, in the sense that we don't want any
commercial presentations. Please send in your presentation proposal to
info at cocoongt.org - see below for a template to help you in filling
out a proposal.
