Developer Days @ Jasig Spring 2010 Conference

The Jasig Spring 2010 Conference is fast approaching. With its theme of 10 years of open source innovation, it seems key to focus on what happens after the conference (though really, you should register for the conference, cool stuff happens there!). On the Thursday and Friday after the conference end, developers stick around and do what it is that developers do: code, fix bugs, design and architect in a crazy free-for-all environment with no rules! (okay there are some rules, like don't break anything or hurt anyone).

What Exactly Are Developer Days?

Developer days are:

• An opportunity for those developer's who rarely meet face-to-face to be able to collaborate in person


• An opportunity for non-core developers to work with core developers on JIRA issues, new extension ideas they wish to contribute, etc. (Bug Hunt, etc.)


• An opportunity for interested collaborating parties to work with the development teams


• An opportunity for interested parties to collaborate on a project they may wish to propose as an incubating project.


• An opportunity for the Incubation Committee to meet with incubating project developers?


• An opportunity for Jasig cross-project collaboration (i.e. uPortal and CAS and Mobile UIs)


• An opportunity for non-Jasig cross-project collaboration

Developer days are not:

• a debugging session for someone's problems, unless the development team wishes to spend their time doing that.

Who should attend?

If you're interested in contributing back to a Jasig project, incubating a new project, just seeing what goes into a Jasig project, or integrating with a Jasig project, you could probably benefit from attending the developer days.

How do I let people know what I want to do?

First, you should sign up for the conference. Then you should add what you want to work on to our list of things that are going on during the developer days.

Why Developer Days?

We ask, why not? Jasig is not only about its open source projects, but about fostering collaboration of ideas, knowledge, and projects. Developer Days continue this tradition by encouraging different organizations to work together and learn from each other.
