Betreff: Announcing Wocoa Q1 2004 in Hamburg (Germany) on Feb. 14th
Announcing the 8th Wocoa Pow Wow
The drummers of the Wocoas, a european tribe of WebObjects and Cocoa
developers, are beating their drums again. Apple is getting serious
about servers and big bad clusters and the Macintosh is about to
celebrate its 20th anniversary ... guess what ... its time to dance!
As usual this event will try to be as unorganized as ever. Please do
_NOT_ expect a regular and boring trade show or conference but bring
your drums and PowerBooks instead. This is a coming together and a
sharing of knowledge and wisdom.
+++ Location
This time our host will be PowerMedia and so we are gathering in the
eastern part of Europe:
Hamburg (Germany)
Sat, Feb 14th, 2004
Full details about the location will be mailed to all those who
registered.
+++ Planned Dances
So far we have the following topics on our list
Ulrich Koester
- Developing WO-Applications with Eclipse and WOLips. (Demo)
Tomi Engel, ObjectFarm
- Debugging WebObjects 5 with Eclipse and Jad. (Demo)
Anjo Krank, LogicUnited
- DAVObjects ... turn your WO-App into a WebDAV server. (Demo)
David Teran, cluster9
- An "invisible" D2W application generating pure XML, which can be
layouted via XSL (Demo)
Wocoa drummers
- Tipps about what you might want to do during this weekend.
Perhaps we can add some Xgrid and Xserve sound too. Those who register
will receive infos about all planned dances.
+++ Registration
If you intend to join us, please send a message with your name and
preferred email-address to
smokesignal@wocoa.org
as soon as you can. Both are necessary for your name badge.
- If you want the name of your tribe our company to appear on your
name badge ... please tell us what it should be.
- If you have a cool application that you would like to demo to other
people, or have an interesting topic that you would like to share with
other dancers ... just let us know. We will publish these topics on
our webpages and the peoples mailinglist, so that others will know who
to talk to.
After registration you will receive a confirmation mail and a second
mail with the exact location details, shortly prior to the event. You
will also be added to the people@wocoa.org mailing list ... unless you
explicitly state that you do not wish to be part of it.
We do not charge any fee for attending this Pow Wow but you will have
to cover your own expenses.
You must register because we need to know how many Wocoa dancers will
stomp our tipi. Otherwise we cannot guarantee to find a place big
enough for all of us.
+++ Warning
PLEASE NOTE ... while we should have a beamer and internet connection
in place, please be aware that "sharing an interesting topic" should
not be read as "giving a full blown hyper complicated sales
presentation of your product and having the right to be depressed if
nobody cares to listen". Our Pow Wows are organized chaos ... you have
been warned!
This time we will limit the presentation time to 15 - 20 minutes each,
so that there will be enough time for getting into private
conversation without missing any "demo dances".
+++ Further Information
Like during previous events we are again looking forward to welcome 50
- 100 highly motivated and creative Wocoa dancers.
The general information on our tribe is on the Wocoa website. And
there you will soon find more information about cheap places to find
some rest (hotels, sleeping bag places etc.)

+++ Sponsors
This event will be organized and sponsored as a joined effort by
cluster9, Sen:te and the ObjectFarm people.
If you want to contribute to the event or have any questions ... feel
free to contact us at:
drummers@wocoa.org
+++ Beat the drums
We hope that you send the necessary smoke signals to your friends and
that you tell them about the Wocoa Pow Wow. The more dancers come ...
the better and louder our Pow Wow will be.
Share and Enjoy.
