The XUL Developer Sessions are informal sessions for developers using the new XULRunner and extension technologies.
- Audience
- serious authors of XUL applications and extensions, both corporate and individual
- Target session size
- 30 people
- Sessions
- US East Coast, US West Coast, Europe?
- Fee (very tentative)
- $125
Goals
- Demonstrate and explain XULRunner in depth to application/extension authors.
- gather functional requirements for the XULRunner and Developer Kit to aid in development
- Facilitate peer demonstrations of working applications and work-in-progress
Outline
The following is a very-draft outline of pieces of a session:
Presentations
- XULRunner Demonstration and overview (Benjamin/Darin/Pike)
- XUL Developer Kit overview (Benjamin/...?)
- Mozilla Documentation Project overview (Deb, hopefully)
Showcase
Participants present finished or under-development projects.
Open Forum
Open discussion of the future of XUL technologies. Ad-hoc breakout sessions to discuss issues of importance to attendees.
Administrativa
Catered breakfast/lunch for a fast-paced meeting. Participants arrange to go to dinner out in large or small groups? Evening reception to finish off the event.
Perhaps the sessions can be piggy-backed on a day before or after a conference. Possibilities: X-tech, OSCON, LWE...?
Conference pack with t-shirts, hats, etc?
Looking for a marketing/event coordinator to handle logistics.
Prerequisites
We need a fairly stable preview release of XULRunner, with a major app or two. This is probably the 1.8 final release with chatzilla. So mid-June is the earliest this makes sense.
Scholarships
Scholarships will be available to assist with airfare/hotel for qualified participants. Participants with scholarships will present applications as part of the showcase during the day.
