Hi, As mentioned, I was invited to talk about DeviceMap at codemotion Rome, one of the largest developer conferences in the EMEA region (~30k+ attendees across 3-4 events each year, so that's up to 10k for some of them)
Based on that W3C DDR Compatibility test in the repository we point to in our W3C related notice, I work on filling it with test data and arguments based on DeviceMap to see the results. The same test bed may be used on future W3C DDR implementations based on new data structures. The test isn't a simple JUnit like test, it requires tons of arguments that have to match, but I hope to have it running ideally no later than Rome. Once it can be executed at least manually (or if it's possible to automate it via Maven after every project build) there's no reason preventing an official release of the W3C artifacts, too. The test is pretty much a "TCK" provided by W3C similar to any Java JSR, so I want to run it before releasing the W3C implementation. There hasn't been much going on with the .NET clients lately, but I need to use a Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition now for other projects, thus I hope to get a closer look at it with this free tool (which should make it easier for people to use DeviceMap .NET without paying a huge subscription fee;-) ApacheCon Europe may start a CFP soon, the date has been confirmed and it'll be in Budapest again. As soon as we see it on the Apache mailing list, we could think about proposing something. I'd be in for that as I should be in Europe then, too. Regards, Werner
