Good news: we can have a room at the FHT for the
evenings, thanks to Prof. Hauber.
Hey this is great news. Thanks to Johannes and Peter for solving this
problem for us.
We'll need to decide when we'll meet.
OK, I suggest to have
- the general Forrest Meetup on Wednesday evening
(the day of our Forrest presentation) so that people can come and
ask more questions ...
- the views-workshop on Thursday so that people won't have to hang
around for all three days of the conference.
With Johannes' mail saying "evenings" (plural) I'd gratefully take the
offered room for both evenings to not exclude people. If that is not
stretching Peter's hospitality too far?
Would 19:00 hrs be good time to start?
I'm off-line till Wednesday. Since some people need to arrange for
their travel we should decide soon. So how about taking the time to
comment until Wednesday so we can finalize the arrangements this week?
I like your proposal, if it needs to change to accommodate other people
that is fine by me. I will be in Germany for about a week in total. Most
of it I will not be in Stuttgart however, I will ensure I am present
when there is anything "Forrest" going on.
(Below I'll include the agenda for both meetings from previous mail.)

We General Exchange on Forrest
an opportunity for Forrest users and developers to meet and have an
open exchange about Forrest. If we have enough people committed to
participating, we could/should we announce this meeting in our
Forrest session for interested people to join us.
It is possible that we will not have many non-Forrest people taking this
up. If this is the case I would like to use this time to do some forward
planning and bug fixing. Will there be net access in this room?
I see this as being compatible with an "open exchange" with potential
users and devs as we can ask what peoples use cases are and discuss
whether Forrest should/would be considered for that use case. In cases
where Forrest seems appropriate we can look at what changes need to be made.
Th Workshop Forrest Views
with Thorsten explaining the concept and practical details of his
Forrest-Views and plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
My hope is that I will have a chance to understand Views after that
which means that we will address people with a limited
understanding of Forrest and Plug-ins.
Duration: ~ 2 hrs?
I propose no changes at all to this part of the agenda. Views is key to
the next release of Forrest and will, I think, finally see us moving to
a subset of XHTML2 as the internal. This should be a purely design
focused meeting.
I agree with all of those aims. However i propose a different
schedule so that we fit in better with the ApacheCon events,
especially the Welcoming Reception and the official Birds of a
Feather (BoF) sessions.
http://apachecon.com/2005/EU/html/sessions.html
------------------------------------------------
Event: Apache Committers Hackathon
Date: Tuesday
Location: ApacheCon
Topics: Meet other committers. Open discussion. Bug fixing.
Audience: Committers only.
------------------------------------------------
Event: Apache Forrest project workshop
Date: Tuesday 19:00 until whenever.
Location: The HfT room.
Topics: Views, XHTML internal format, project planning.
Audience: Anyone is welcome, but discussions will be technical
and will assume knowledge of Forrest. We will certainly answer
questions to ensure that people understand background. However
the main aim is an intensive project design session.
I will have a presentation about Forrest in German that
day (Tue, 19th July), also at the HfT, also starting at
19h. Ferdinand wanted to go there, too. This will last
for about 1-1.5 hours. I'll check back about the room
(I asked for the conference days 20-22, which was OK by
Peter).
