Activity |
Description |
|---|---|
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. |
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. |
