Yes, TR and I are interested in this also. Nov. 12th would work best
for us.
Thanks,
Rene

I have posed this once before as an offshoot of a regular JUG meeting
and it looks like we have enough interest in doing a little code-a-
thon here shortly.
What is a code sprint?

Essentially it is a group of developers getting together to implement
a set of functions into a system. In our case it would be to design
some much needed pieces for the Tucson JUG.
What will we be coding?
After posing this at Tuesday's meeting I came up with a short list:
- An events calendar (using some code donated by Andy as the base)
- A membership sign-up form
- A membership directory
- Presentation archival tool
Plus some sysadmin type things:
- Integrate a blog
- Setup the Wiki
- Setup the bug-tracking system
When will we do this?
First I need to find out who is interested in participating,
currently I have the following from the meeting:
Andy Barton
Warner Onstine
TR
Rene Stone (I believe)
Duff (I believe)
(and a few others whom I didn't write down their names, chime in so I
don't forget)
Depending on who else wants to get involved we will be meeting on a
Sat, probably around 10 or 10:30 and running until 5 or so at one of
two locations (still in the works), the most likeliest candidates for
this are:
Oct. 29th
Nov. 5th
Nov. 12th
This will be our first code sprint and I don't expect to get all of
the functionality we want completed, due to some ramp up time with
the tools, but this is going to be a good starting point definitely.
What will be coding in?
Definitely Java, but you're probably interested in the tools. For now
we are going to be basing what we do off of:
Tapestry 4(http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry), Spring 1.2 (http://
springframework.org), Hibernate (2 or 3)?, some HiveMind (http://
jakarta.apache.org/hivemind)
and other libraries as it seems fit
What will I need to bring?
We will need some people skilled in the above technologies (Tapestry,
Spring, and Hibernate) so that they can act as mentors to their
programming pair. We also need people to bring laptops/desktops that
can be used by the programming pairs.
It would also be good to have your dev environment setup with the
following:
Eclipse with the Subclipse plugin (going to try and use Subversion as
our version control, but have CVS available as well)
Maven and Ant installed and setup
Depending on how many people we get together I will try and
coordinate and get lunch brought in for us.
Will this be Open Sourced?
Yes! The plan is to go ahead and use a BSD/Apache style license for
everything we do and make it available to the public.
Questions?
