JakartaOne : Plan
Enough people have expressed interest in Jakarta One that I believe we should go forward, at least as a social gathering so we can see what we all look like. Due to the short amount of time available for preparation, as the de-facto chair of the de-facto committee (James, Jon, although he doesn't know it, and myself...) I would like to propose that we table the idea of a separate technical session and keep it social. However, if we have enough interest, we can do them in conjunction with the social program. That might make in less formal, and people will be less inhibited. For example, I know I can get a well-known Java programmer to come and talk about why he likes .NET so much. If we can convince Sam Ruby to show up, as chair of the .NET CLR ECMA committee (did I get that right, Sam?), we can turn it into a discussion rather than a presentation. JakartaOne 2002 === When Tuesday, March 26, 2002 time TBA : suggest evening, with technical talks first, then music afterwards - refreshments served throughout Where - StudioZ.tv (http://www.studioz.tv/) (Jon Scott Steven's club/event space) What Gathering of the Open Source community - meet the faces with possible informal technical talks. Refreshments certainly available. RSVP While not required for entrance, the courtesy of an RSVP to help us gauge attendance will be appreciated. To do so, send a message to geirm at optonline dot net with the subject line [RSVP] JakartaOne And that will be fine. Call for Papers --- Anyone wishing to give a short talk (10-15 mins) on something they think is interesting and relevant is invited to submit a short proposal to geirm at optonline dot net, which will be reviewed by the ad-hoc committee (Geir and James).If there are enough willing participants, we will get facilities set up (white screen and projector...) One idea is to invite the Jboss people over - they are having 'JBossOne' at the same time, but during the day, so maybe we could get a few to come and talk at JakartaOne as well. What We Need I am on the east coast of the US, and will be in the UK the week before JakartaOne, so need some local help. Since we are minimizing the scope, and StudioZ.tv will be managing the refreshments, it seems that the biggest need will be wrt publicity. I have no clue how to do this, but here are things that spring to mind. I assume that Jon with his event organization experience will correct and add to the list. o Can we get volunteers to distribute flyers at the Tuesday morning keynote, or in the lunch areas during the day? We could do that both Monday and Tuesday to get some awareness o We will need some financial support to pay for the paper and copying cost. Maybe 1/4 size 8.5x11 handbills can be cheap to produce at kinko's? If someone could figure out how much it would cost, I will be happy to pay for some, and we can take a collection or approach the ASF. o Once we iron out the specifics (like what times are appropos) I'll be happy to post the finaly announcement anywhere and everywhere. If we can get it on Slashdot... :) Anything else? -- Geir Magnusson Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] System and Software Consulting You're going to end up getting pissed at your software anyway, so you might as well not pay for it.

Re: JakartaOne : Plan
Before anyone says anything, yes, I feel like a moron for spelling out geirm at optonline dot net given that the From: is that and it's in my sig. I have no idea what I was thinking.

Re: JakartaOne : Plan
Additional idea just sent to me : Anyone who is with a vendor that will be on the show floor, would you be willing to keep flyers at your booth Monday and Tuesday? Let me know so we can get a count if we are going to produce, or if you are willing, we can have the copy ready early so you can make your own pile with your own equipment and resources :) geir -- Geir Magnusson Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] System and Software Consulting The question is : What is a Mahnamahna? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
