Oddly enough, it was a tutorial rather than a presentation. Here are the details: http://us.apachecon.com/c/acus2009/speakers/282 Before such a thing occurs there should be a release of some sort of our project's code. I was wondering what people (esp. mentors) thought about that. The code itself would be like an alpha release. This would hopefully encourage discussion and early adoption, and possible participation. The steps I think would should take towards a release would include: o Writing documentation o Improving the website - it's difficult to ascertain what we are offering. The binaries would be linkable from here. o Establishing on this mailing list our current state. There is a release process drafted here: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html , but I'm not sure how achievable all of that is at this stage of the project. I'll be very interested in what everyone's thoughts are. Thanks, Stuart -- Stuart Monteith http://blog.stoo.me.uk/
