Hello Midgardians,
I've read Midgard members concerns on the lists. Here is the
proposed "offical" agenda. Of course, these are just guidelines to try
to cover all topics and I guess many discussions will continue beyond
the proposed schedule.
Here is Aurora's proposal to organize Midgard Developers' meeting
Paris, June 2000 Saturday 24th / Sunday 25th
Address:
AURORA S.A.
69-71 Avenue Pierre Grenier
92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
FRANCE
Access / Map : See David Guerizec's messages
Meeting points:
- Hotel Olympic at 9:45 am with David Guerizec for people who stay
there,
- Aurora offices at 10 am for all (2nd tip: a sky surfer picture on the
door).
Schedule:
Saturday 24th June
------------------
10H00 - 10H30 : Welcome
10H30 - 13H00 : Midgard 1.4
- New features in Midgard 1.4
Midgard developers will introduce / explain version 1.4 main new
features
(Repligard, sitegroups, snippets, calendar, templates, ...).
- What must be done / improved in Midgard 1.4 for documentation, VMUC,
admin site, installation.
- Midgard for newbies: If there is a need for it, a Midgard informal
presentation / demo for newbies could be done by David Guerizec.
Also, a decision of "freezing" 1.4 development of new features should
also be undertaken in order to quickly put more ressources on version 2.
13H00 - 14H30 : Lunch
14H30 - 16H30 : Midgard Ry official meeting
Sunday 25th June
----------------
10H00 - 13H00 : Midgard V2 (design discussions)
Technical discussions about the major features and improvements to
schedule for Midgard version 2.0.
Some (but not all) of the topics:
- Modularity, Midgard micro kernel, what should be and should not be in
this kernel?
- Code writing rules, code reusing
- PHP 4 integration / Zend, integration with other languages (Perl,
Python, ...)
- Database abstraction layer: RDBMs, BLOBs, OODBs, ...
- Localization of both content and applications
- Managing versions of articles, link articles to several topics
- Scalability, deployment and performance issues
- Documentation (Midgard's manuals and other related docs, style,
content, localization)
- Formatting engines
13H00 - 14H30 : Lunch
14H30 - 16H30 :
- The future of Midgard : Beyond technical issues
- Aurora approach:
Road map proposal for Midgard / Aurora (Jean-Philippe BRUNON, Aurora).
Licensing issues for sources as well as documentation
