The Netherlands

Location: Amsterdam, Felix Meritis building (www.felixmeritis.nl)
Next meetup: Friday November 30

Agenda

Date: Friday, November 30
Preliminary agenda:

12:00 Room opens, Wifi connection, power outlets and coffee available.
Walk-in hackaton for whoever likes to join.

15:00 Start of the official Meetup. Opening talk.
15:00-18:00 Wicket Gettings started sessions (beginner to intermediate level)
18:00-19:00 Break for drinks and snacks
19:00-21:00 Technical sessions (intermediate to expert level)
21:00 Wrap-up

The subjects of talks are still under discussion on the mailinglist, but
we've had some excellent submissions for both introductionary talks and deeper
technical discussions. These range from "How to get started with Wicket" up to
"Running Wicket in high availability environments". The afternoon sessions will
be less technical than the evening sessions. The agenda is very much subject to
change. See the Wicket Wiki for the latest version.
This is an Apache community effort, so if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to let us know! Please sign up to the Wicket user mailinglist and share your thoughts.

We've been trying to make this meeting as low-barrier as possible, to give everyone an opportunity to get to know Wicket. If you want to know whether Wicket is your next framework or not, this is the place to be!

See you all in Amsterdam on November 30th !

Ideas for the programme

The Amsterdam meetup is meant for everyone interested in Wicket, on all different expertise levels. If you want to get started with Wicket, or you need some more background information, are an expert committer, or even when you've never even touched a single line of code, you're more than welcome!

Ask-a-committer (bring your code and get some advice from the committers)
Maurice Marrink:
Help on Wicket security projects. If anyone has any questions / problems about / with wasp or swarm they can not / will not ask on the mailing list, they are free to ask me on the conference and I'll do my best assist them. If they bring there projects with them it will be even easier to do so.
Martin Funk:
I could throw in a 10 minute presentation about wicket-contrib-gmap2.
Ate Douma:
I can answer "Everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask" about Wicket Portlet support, as well as provide a presentation/demo if there is enough interest for it
Based on Ruby meetup successes, we could split the sessions in two: an Experienced track and a Beginners track, for those people that are interested in Wicket but need the right arguments to sell it to their bosses. Possibly rename this to "Is Wicket suitable for my CMS/Webapp/?".
Wouter: I'd like a 'best practices' discussion on some of the topics that have passed on the list recently.
codestr0m (C. Bergström):
Put together a plan for a simple two node terracotta demo. If a real tc guru can come maybe some q/a
Martijn Dashorst: Vocus: A case study for Wicket/Introduction to Wicket/A Brief History of Wicket/
Niels van Kampenhout: why and how does Hippo use Wicket for its new CMS
Johan Compagner: Wicket just like Swing? Just look how Servoy uses it.
Johan Compagner: SessionStore, PageMaps, Pages.. What does wicket store? (and where)
