The meeting is on the 6th and 7th of August, 2007.
Venue
BEA headquarters in San Jose (near SJC)
2315 North First Street

We have wireless internet available, so it should be easy to stay in touch in the break periods. Hopefully, all the sessions will be sufficiently riveting that nobody will be playing around on the internets during the sessions.
There will be a dial-in number as well.

Day Two Kick-Off / New Agenda Item Review |
Discuss what we'd like to talk about today, what we'd like to focus on that came up yesterday, and other topics that have occurred to people since yesterday |

|
10:00 - 11:00 |
Bootstrapping / ProductDerivation |
Discuss the goals and architecture of the ProductDerivation framework. |

API Design and Forwards-Compatibility |
OpenJPA has a number of APIs that we expect to be visible to developers. These should be stable over time, and should be well-designed to meet the needs of our developers. This is currently not always the case (OpenJPAEntityManagerFactory extends a billion interfaces, for example, our event frameworks sometimes require code changes for people who implement the event interfaces, and we use a combination of enums and symbolic constants even in our org.apache.openjpa.persistence interfaces). I'd like to discuss this to raise awareness about the issue, and also discuss how to improve things in the short term. I'd also like to bring up the idea of an API jar that should contain enough for the average development team to link against. |

Reserved |
Blocked out for topics that come up over the two days. For example, I imagine that we might want to go into more detail on remote commit events, or JDBC mapping techniques. |
