Hi all, Now that trademarks@ has approved the class of events to be known as 'Apache NetBeans Day' and now that via lazy consensus we have defined the requirements for an event to be a member of that class... let's have the first implementation of Apache NetBeans Day!
All that info is documented here: https://netbeans.apache.org/community/events.html We have agreed via lazy consensus that a requirements for an event to be a member of the Apache NetBeans Day class, it 'Must be discussed/notified via the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list'. So, here we go -- I propose an Apache NetBeans Day to be held at the University of Greenwich in London on April 27, 2018, to be named 'Apache NetBeans Day UK'. Every year over the past years, a NetBeans Day has been held there, in co-operation between staff and students at the university and members of the NetBeans community, so all the infrastructure and logistics are well established. Proposed agenda: 09:00 – 9:30: Registration 09:30 – 10:00: Opening Keynote - Geertjan Wielenga 10:00 – 10:45: Using VisualVM to fix your code and find your bugs - Kirk Pepperdine 10:45 – 11:30: Understanding the compilation process with Graal and IGV - Duncan Macgregor 11:30 – 12:15: Writing code with NetBeans - Ovidijus Okinskas and Mark Stephens 12.15 – 13:00: Update on Jakarta EE - Andrew Pielage and Steve Millidge 13:00 – 14:00: Lunch & Networking 14:00 – 15:30: Choice of:- -- Build plugins and applications on the NetBeans platform - Ovidijus Okinskas and Mark Stephens -- Writing web application in JavaScript the easy way with OracleJET - Geertjan Wielenga 15:00 – 15:30: Tea & Networking 15:30 – 16:30: Choice of:- -- NetBeans VisualVM Workshop - Kirk Pepperdine -- MicroProfile on PayaraMicro - Andrew Pielage and Steve Millidge 16:30: Wrap Up and prize draw. As agreed via lazy consensus, all demos will be done in NetBeans and the opening keynote is, as can be seen above, focused on the current state and roadmap of NetBeans. Following Apache lazy consensus (https://www.apache.org/founda tion/voting.html#LazyConsensu <https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#LazyConsensus>), i.e., no voting or responses of any kind are needed, except if you object. If no one objects within 24 hours, we'll assume lazy consensus and implement the above proposal. Thanks, Gj
