~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)

Who is interested

uPortal framework code clinic

 

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.

~awp9

Spring / Portlet clinic

John Lewis, Cris Holdorph, Eric Dalquist sorts of developers have a desk in a corner and everyone is welcome to bring over their Spring-using and/or JSR-168-implementing code and look at it with an "expert" who will comment as to what it is doing well and how it might work better

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.

~awp9

Fluid-driven UCamp

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

~awp9

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

~awp9

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

 

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.
