We need your ideas! What would YOU like to see at this year's Cocoon 
GetTogether???

This year's Cocoon conference will be held again in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 
from Monday, October 2nd, until Wednesday, October 4th. Faster and funkier than 
ever!

The GetTogether event runs as a series of presentations on different aspects of 
Apache Cocoon. Several short tracks will give you insight on all aspects of 
Cocoon, from generator to serializer and from CForms to AJAX, packed with with 
real success stories and best practices. There's plenty of time for interaction 
and probing questions. Whether you're a Cocoon developer or user, either 
expert, beginner, or only curious, this event is for you. Want to know more 
about the technology and the people behind it? Come join us at this year's 
Cocoon GetTogether in Amsterdam!

But first, we'd like to hear everyone's ideas on WHAT you would really, 
*really* like to see:

 * Which parts of Cocoon would you like to see demonstrated?
 * Which bits of code would you like to see projected on a huge screen in big, 
*big* letters, with the author right next to it, explaining you exactly how and 
*why* he wrote it like that?
 * Which parts of Cocoon do you find utterly complicated and would you like to 
get some help with?
 * What would you like your boss to get demonstrated? (convince him to use 
Cocoon :-) )
 * ...maybe you've got some Cocoon wizardry yourself to share at the Lightning 
Lottery Talks?

Everyone is free to send in a list of subjects for which he or she would travel 
all the way to Amsterdam.
There's no program yet. This year's program is up to YOU - so send in those 
ideas!

We're all using Cocoon in wildly different ways, which is one of its major 
strengths - let's show this at this year's GetTogether!
Please add your thoughts:

 * Success stories (why someone chose Cocoon, for what, what was great and what 
not?)
 * Comparison of Cocoon with other web frameworks
 * Why should I upgrade to 2.2?
 * Some howto's / best practices for
  * Configuration
  * Using Spring
  * Building Cocoon
 * 10 Reasons to use Cocoon
 * A "What's new in 2.2 and how to use it track" with different topics, 5 to 
10min per topic.
 * What's up for Cocoon 3.0?
 * The Funky Cocoon AJAX tour (with lots of samples!)
 * A short (!!) introduction to OSGi (what's all that fuzz about?!)
 * Practical case studies, where people show how they are using Cocoon, the 
high-level architecture of their apps, what they're integrating Cocoon with, 
what makes their app unique, etc. We could to 20+10 (20 minutes prez, 10 
minutes questions) slots for this, and have at least 4 or 6 of them during the 
day.
