Below is the semi-final agenda for the Sun PASIG October 7-9 in San Francisco. The structure is in place and the next version will have exact presentation titles. Speaker abstracts will be posted in the next week.
This may be the best content we have had to date for a PASIG. But there is good news and bad news. The good news is that I fit in all interested speakers! The bad news is I broke my promise to the Malta PASIG attendees and again created another packed agenda. Note that this full agenda will be posted on my blog at http://blogs.sun.com/pal/ and an abridged version will be on the PASIG www.sun-pasig.ning.com website.
Registration can be accessed via the www.sun-pasig.ning.com website. Remember that the Early Bird Special of $100 for customers and $400 for Sun employees and partners expires after September 7. A list of registered attendees will be posted on the registration site this week and will be continuously updated.
Partners are encouraged to bring literature. We can also provide tables if you would like one at the Wednesday reception.
Regarding the agenda structure, the first part of the Day 1 Bootcamp is designed to give a comprehensive overview on Repositories, Standards, and Sun technologies. The second part of the day offers updates on broadly popular projects. There is an optional Project Wonderland demo and discussion before the reception. This is of interest to any of you looking at Immersive Learning Technologies. Day 2 is more focused on new content and projects that have not been presented at the PASIG lately or at all. Day 3 is comprised of a Big Trends overview by Mike Keller, six working groups, and an optional 'Taking PASIG Forward' brainstorming session.
