New for this year will be Speed Geeking This is a format for doing short demo's of projects
We will have sign-ups for this in the morning and until it happens just after lunch. If you have something you want to Demonstrate prepare a 5 min talk/demo and be prepared to give it 10 times in a row. You will just be doing it off your laptop.
This is an Unconference - we create the agenda live the day of the event. We do invite you to think about what you want to present about, questions you hope to get answered and issues you hope to discuss with peers. You can read this PDF about how to prepare for attending.
Our Facilitator will again be Kaliya Hamlin who did a great job at the San Francisco Scala Lift Off - you can read more about her work here she has facilitated over 75 unconferences for technical community.
We will be doing documentation - collecting notes from all the sessions. Please be prepared to participate in this process.
It’s a friendly community event for the whole range of Scala enthusiasts from those just “checking it out” to recognised experts who have been developing it for years. This diversity means you can learn everything you need to know about any aspect of the Scala language or the Lift Web Framework.
Please join us. We would enjoy learning from your experience.
