See also the website for this conference. This conference included several excellent poster sessions. Poster sessions will likely be a feature of the next Jasig conference as well – it's not too soon to start thinking of a poster session you might like to do for the next conference; see the poster session page for more information about this format. Know of something fun to do in or around San Diego? Add it to the fun activities page on this wiki! Examples include running, biking, surfing and other attractions. For the third year in a row, we are organizing a dine-around on Tuesday evening of the conference. For those that wish to participate, we will be posting a sign up 'sheet' for select restaurants where we have made reservations for 8 people at each. Groups will meet in the lobby of the hotel Tuesday evening and walk together to their chosen restaurant, guided by someone who has volunteered to be that restaurant's host. Please note that each person is responsible for his/her own bill at the restaurant. This is a fun way to join a group for dinner, and maybe make some new acquaintances! In addition to the half day seminars on Wednesday afternoon, we will offer our forth JA-SIG BarCamp (as in foo, not beer). These are informal, ad hoc mini-conferences filled with user-generated content (see the Wikipedia entry). This is your opportunity to work together with other attendees and share information on any topic at all. There will be a white board throughout the conference to gather ideas. There is no charge for this activity and the discussion topics will be determined at the camp. Learn more and see topic suggestions here. You don't have to be a developer to attend the Developer Days! Everyone is invited to gather for informal working sessions. This is a great opportunity to work on your own projects but co-located with your peers. Ask questions of one another, share tips, get help debugging your code, ... Developers often find this to be a great place to be productive without the interruptions you have back home. More information will soon be posted here. Facilitating a session is easy. You basically introduce the speaker and keep track of the time. It is a great opportunity to volunteer at the conference, make more connections and see you favorite sessions. You can sign up to facilitate a session here. If you are presenting at the conference, please upload your presentation here, the central location where they will be archived for access after the conference. Some sessions were recorded and are available at screencasescreencast.com. Working on something new and interesting, but not ready to give a formal presentation on it? Give a Lightning Talk instead! We've reserved a session Tuesday morning for short presentations on works in progress. You can learn more and sign up here.
