Subject: Sunday before C1/J1 activities

The current plan for CommunityOne (Monday May 5th) calls for a
community-centered conference, a bit in the style of JavaOne, but with
more non-Sun, more non-Java participation.
GlassFish has a good presence at C1'08, but this version of C1 is
intended to encourage cross-fertilization among many communities, not
intra-community growth.
Without getting into alternate versions of C1, I think we need to
complement the C1 activities with others focused on the needs of the GF
community.
One idea is to use the Sunday before C1/J1 (May 4) to do some extra
activities. We have access to the Moscone center, so we can do things
there. Another option is to use the evenings during JavaOne - although
there are so many activities those days that it is hard to compete with
them and not everybody wants to/can do a 12+ hour day.
So, here is a proposal based on workshops Sunday (May 4th) afternoon and
ending with a small social get together. Some of the workshops can be
sequential, some could be in parallel with each other.
* How GF Helps you make $$s
- Support, Service, Training
- Branding, Marketing
* Building GlassFIsh in your Geography
- Portals
- Localization
- Speciality ISVs
* What you want in GF
- What's missing
- development? Deployment?
* Hands-on on GFv3
- Build from scratch
- Port your service
- Talk with the architects
* Porting Workshop
- Share your experienes porting from JBoss/WLS/WAS/OC4J
Thoughts? Ideas?
