Re: [jug-discussion] JUG code sprint
Yes, TR and I are interested in this also. Nov. 12th would work best for us.

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.

Re: [jug-discussion] JUG code sprint
Hi all, I have not received any emails in response to this (except for Tim), could you drop me a line and let me know if you are still interested in doing this? -warner On Oct 13, 2005, at 11:20 AM, Warner Onstine wrote: 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.

RE: [jug-discussion] JUG code sprint
Sounds like fun... What will we be coding? - An events calendar (using some code donated by Andy as the base) - A membership sign-up form - A membership directory - Presentation archival tool Some of this functionality might be easier to add as an extension of the Confluence wiki. Ex: calendar macro here that is open and could be extended: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Basic+Calendar+Macro There are always lots of ways to do anything, so I'm not saying this is the way, but it might be a great starting point to leverage. http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT Docs on developing plugins and macros: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Development+Hub Plus some sysadmin type things: - Integrate a blog Not sure what you mean by integrate -- but Confluence has blogging functionality built-in. The new 1.5 version will have a custom RSS feed creator that can grab content that is labelled to your liking. - Setup the Wiki - Setup the bug-tracking system Obviously, I'm interested in getting Jira/Confluence installed... but our schedules haven't meshed. So maybe this date will work out great. :-) Oct. 29th Nov. 5th Nov. 12th I'll be out of town on the Oct date, so the 5th or 12th would be better for me.

RE: [jug-discussion] JUG code sprint
Some of this functionality might be easier to add as an extension of the Confluence wiki. Another thought, some functions might be easy enough to just use the wiki directly -- no need for a tool. Tim - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [jug-discussion] JUG code sprint
I agree some of this could definitely be done inside of the Wiki, but some of it would also be nice standalone applications (ie - that I and others could use elsewhere without having to have confluence available). So, maybe we need a pre-meeting sprint, or a separate discussion group for those interested to do some up-front requirements/design work before we do the sprint. -warner On Oct 13, 2005, at 11:50 AM, Tim Colson ((tcolson)) wrote: Sounds like fun...
