uPortal framework code clinic

~awp9, Eric Dalquist, Peter K. sorts of developers have a desk in a corner and everyone is welcome to bring over their uPortal-touching code (channels, mods, plugins, anything) and look at it with an "expert" who will comment as to what it is doing well and how it might work better, and guide as to where to go next with the code (how to effectively open source it if appropriate)

Fluid-sponsored user experience design code clinic

Fluid designers and developers available at a desk in a corner and everyone is welcome to bring over their user interfaces and look at them with an "expert" who will comment as to what is done well, what can be improved, and guide as to how this relates to Fluid work if appropriate.

Open-sourcing clinic

~awp9, Eric Dalquist, Jason Shao, Matt Young sorts of people at a desk in a corner and everyone is welcome to bring over their code and look at it with people who have open sourced software before, and talk through options for taking the code forward as open source software, building a project, getting activity on it, how it fits into the JA-SIG ecosystem.

Lightning talks Lightning Talks

Many presenters giving very short talks. Maybe 10m talk + 5m Q&A and speaker switching - that would fit 6 talks in 90 minutes. Plenary works well so that everyone connects with some shared topics for discussion, shouldn't be too painful for people uninterested in a particular talk because they are short.

Fluid-driven UCamp

Fluid-run session on user experience design along the lines of the UCamp activities they've done @ Sakai e.g.

Meeting of the uPortal Steering Committee

Possibly closed and private, much more likely open so that others can help the committee figure out how to steer. Possibly this is just a bad use of time at this conference - the steering committee can "meet" and collaborate asynchronously and remotely, whereas the unconference is a particular opportunity for in-person activities
I think this would be an excellent use of time and would expect the unconference to be the perfect place to kick-off the committee. I believe this was one of the initial reasons for the unconference. ~agodert

Meeting of the JA-SIG Board of Directors

Possibly closed and private, possibly open so that others can help the board decide how to direct. Possibly this is just a bad use of time at this conference - the board can "meet" and collaborate asynchronously and remotely, whereas the unconference is a particular opportunity for in-person activities
Current plans are for the board to meet Sunday in private; however, it may make sense for the board to set aside sometime that week or even on Sunday to meet with the rest of the attendees. ~agodert

Meeting of the Infrastructure and Services Team

All infrastructure and services team members are urged to attend. There is certainly no reason this can't be open. Probably 2 - 3 hours would suffice to look at a couple of issues:
1.) The future of the Clearinghouse and whether a more project based process/solution is best
2.) Status of the server migration
Note that ~agodert would prefer this be held on Monday November 12th some time either in the morning or early afternoon since he won't be in attendance any other days that week.

Screenshot and Screencast collection Code Reviews

Collaborative Development

Programmers get together to implement the need for a particular portlet and/or uPortal feature. Create content or features to make uP out-of-the-box a more compelling product

Q&A

Screencast Recording

Help JA-SIG and uPortal gather better marketing materials! Developers with interesting open source software, compelling usages of the software, head over to a kiosk where someone versed in effective screenshot and screencast capture helps the participant to navigate to their cool software on the web and take some screenshots and screencasts that can then be input to an ever more compelling JA-SIG web presence.
