Hi, See below for the proposal that I sent to the conference planners.
BR, Jukka Zitting The Jackrabbit and Sling projects would like to organize a "Content Technology" track at the ApacheCon US 2009. The track would be focused on content repositories and content management based on the JCR and CMIS standards. We estimate that we could do something like a half-day track followed by a more informal meetup in the evening. This would be a natural extension to the meetups and normal sessions we've had in previous ApacheCons. We could also enlarge the scope of the track to cover a wider range of projects like Cocoon, Lenya, Portals, POI, etc. in which case the track could cover even something like 1-2 days. However, such plans are mostly speculative at the moment. The target audience of this track would mostly consist of web developers and CMS (both web and enterprise) developers and integrators. We might also do a more business-oriented session on the current status of standardization in the content management industry.
