[opencms-dev] Announcement: First OpenCms Development Sprint in Cologne, Germany

[Pomegranate Software- Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi Alex,
hello together,

good news and many thanks for providing the possibility for everyone to 
come together again at the developer sprint in September.
Here is a short first idea (I have a Dream ;-)) about OpenCms Social 
Computing and Community Software Project Initiative for today's WEB 2.0 
Society Support:

TemplateTwo, Alkacon's OAMP Modules like Calendar, Survey, User 
registration .., and other Community modules or upcoming embedded 
standalone bundles show the increasing demand for such community 
supporting modules for building social computing software for public and 
business sectors and I appreciate your ongoing great work supporting 
this Web 2.0 concepts (not to say Web 3.0 or 3D ;-))
You mentioned during your keynote about the following key technological 
improvements which will / could be part of the upcoming OpenCms 7.x / 
8.0 versions:

Workflow Support
Java Content Repository (JSR 170) support (Apache Jackrabbit for better 
ECM support?)
JPA Support
Native Support for JavaScript (and other languages like JRuby near 
Sebastian's Groovy and PHP support?)

I think, it would be also worth thinking about it again how to support 
the integration of Pluto 2.0 Portlet Container (JSR 268) and showcase 
the Web Services Support for OpenCms (JAX-WS 2.0 RESTful, SOA or 
something like this ;-)) and discuss it during the developer sprint 
about the added value through this integration with OpenCms from several 
technological, marketing and business point of view!

So I'm curios about what do you think and would like to know how the 
community thinks about these ideas!

Best,
Arash
