Re: [Discuss] ApacheCon '09 Geronimo Track: Content
This sounds like a good mix to me. And, even though the agenda for #1 doesn't 'officially' include all of the new features in 2.2 - that doesn't mean that questions couldn't be taken and answered later. If we ran through a list of the new features at the beginning of the session, then that could pique peoples interest to follow up later.

Geronimo makes it easy to assemble a custom server around your applications, including only those features needed to run your apps.

Re: [Discuss] ApacheCon '09 Geronimo Track: Content
I definitely agree that we need some theme for the afternoon and talking about the future (especially for Geronimo where things will be changing a fair amount) is always a good choice. I'm not sure if there was an implied order below ... but I would recommend the following: 1) Custom Server Assemblies (with a strong emphasis on current Geronimo architecture and the move to OSGi IMHO this sets the stage well for Blueprint). 2) Blueprint Container Specification and Geronimo 3) JPA 2.0 Specification (I agree it would be best to include general EE6 outlook). Great suggestions everybody ... wish I could attend ApacheCon! Joe Kevan Miller wrote: Looking at these proposals, my thoughts are pulled towards where is Geronimo going?
