Monday Evening Poster Session
It's not too late to submit a presentation! We still have space available for additional poster session presentations on Monday night. These spaces are available on a first come, first served basis. For more information as well as a list of posters scheduled so far, see the poster session page. Poster presentations are a great way to share your ideas with interested colleagues in a more intimate and interactive setting. Submit your idea today by simply signing up on the wiki!
Fun Activities
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.
Tuesday Evening Dine Around
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!
Wednesday Afternoon BarCamp
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.
Thursday/Friday Developer Days
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.
Help out by facilitating a session
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.
Give a Lightning Talk
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.
