More Information
Overview
The Fluid Summit is an opportunity for members of the community to get together in a face-to-face environment to discuss and make progress on core issues related to technical architecture and user experience. This summit is intended to be a working meeting, combining relevant presentations with focussed discussions and collaborative work. By the end of the summit, we plan to have built consensus and defined concrete directions in several key areas:
Cooperating technologies with the Fluid framework (client and server)
Future component design and development
UX Walk-through protocols
User testing
Security policies
This meeting will also afford the rare opportunity for design and architecture to discuss and work on issues together in the same room. A portion of the summit will likely be dedicated to discussion of component design/development plans with the whole group.
Summit Expectations
This meeting is the last opportunity we'll likely have to all get together in a face-to-face setting for at least a year. As such, we want to make best use of our time by focusing on topics that will result in plans of action and delegation of tasks within the group. We're suggesting that all attendees bring with them a plan or proposal related to an area of personal expertise. This might just be a "straw man" draft, and will inevitably be a work in progress. Tell us about your ideas, and this will set the stage for focussed discussion, planning, and delegation.
Social Opportunities
The expectation is that the summit will be, above all, informal and social. Expect plenty of opportunities for dinner, drinks, and fun.
Daily dinner and drinks to be informally announced at the end of each day. Please add events here if you know of anything.
Dinner on Monday night at 6:30 at Bar Mercurio 270 Bloor St.
