Hi everyone, I'm about to submit some talk proposals related to XWiki for Devoxx Belgium (http://www.devoxx.com/display/DV12/Home).
I was thinking it might be good to ask you what you think should be best that I present related to XWiki. What would you like to hear yourself at a general conference like Devoxx? The tracks they have this year: * Java Standard Edition (JDK 8++) * Java Enterprise Edition (focus on Java EE 7 and beyond) * Web (includes HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3 and RIA technologies) * Mobile (includes Android, Hybrid and mobile web) * Methodology * Other languages on the JVM * Architecture, Cloud and Security * Future<Devoxx> is a brand new Devoxx track. Here we'll embracing the world where software meets hardware and schedule talks on walking objects (think NAO's, lots of NAO's), interactive objects like Arduino, but also intelligent flying and real-time rolling devices! Basically anything that feels happy in the Future<Devoxx> :o) The formats they have available: * Conference (60 mn) * University (University talks are in depth presentations of 2 x 60 minutes with a 15 minute break in between. ) * Tools in Action (Tools in Action are 30 minute presentations demonstrating a programming tool.) * BOF (BOF sessions are 60 minutes long, scheduled in the evening and are informal.) * Quickie (Short 15 minute presentations during Lunch breaks) * Hands-on Labs (3 hour hands-on sessions. ) Some ideas I have (from talks I've done in the past or new ideas): * XWiki: A web development runtime platform (example: http://www.slideshare.net/xwiki/xwiki-a-web-development-runtime-platform-9277065) Track: java, javaEE, web * XWiki: The Long tail of applications Explain how XWiki addresses the long tail of application (see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SecondGenerationWiki) Show lots of nice implementations of XWiki done for various use cases + present architecture and main concepts Track: java, javaEE, web * Hands on: Create a Conference web site live (1 hour or up to 3 hours if we do it as a Hands on lab) See http://massol.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Breizhcamp2012XWiki Track: java, javaEE, web * Quickie: Application Within Minutes Create a real useful web application in 15 minutes Need to find a use case: bike shop, holiday request app, expense report, etc Track: java, javaEE, web * Creating your own project's quality dashboard (1 to 3 hours) Uses XWiki to create a website for your development project with the following features: * Documentation for your project * Display JIRA issues * Display Sonar metrics * Display Jenkins statuses * Display Git statistics of your project * Application to perform releases (checklist, release notes) * Send alerts (mail, IRC, etc) when thresholds are reached Example: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2#HCommunityHome Track: Methodology, java, javaEE, web * Bridging Open source and Business A model for professional open source based on the example of the XWiki open source project Provides a solution for having a real community-based open source while having one or several companies funding the project Track: Methodology * A quick history of wikis (Quickie: 15 mn) Shows evolution of wikis since their creation and where wikis are heading in the future Let me know if you have new ideas, if you like some of those, how you would modify them to better fit Devoxx, etc. Thanks a lot -Vincent http://about.me/vmassol More about my previous talks: http://massol.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/VincentMassol PS: Let me know if you plan to be in Devoxx this year! :) _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
