[LRUG] Fwd: BOF sessions wih LRUG at No Fluff Just Stuff eXchange, London

[Murray Steele]

Skills Matter are hosting No Fluff, Just Stuff (a big Java conference) in
London later this year.  They've asked if we'd like to run a Birds of a
Feather session on one of the evenings.  It's not entirely random as a lot
of the sessions at NFJS will be about agile practices and a few will be
about JRuby and scripting.

That said, I'm not entirely sure what a LRUG Java-focused BoF session might
entail beyond being smug about XML configuration files and the depth of
exception traces in J2EE, and that doesn't sound particularly helpful or
friendly.

So, does anyone else have a good idea for a java / ruby / agile focused BoF
session and (most importantly) want to run it?

Hi Murray,

I hope all is well!

Skills Matter is co-organising the first No Fluff Just Stuff in London
called the No Fluff Just Stuff (NFJS) eXchange.  I'm not sure whether
you are familiar with NFJS in the States (more info here:
http://www.nofluffjuststuff.com).  It's basically a series of
conferences that travel throughout the US where delegates can learn and
talk with industry experts and other delegates, as well as see real
world case studies and delve into hands-on code about the latest
developments in Java and Agile practices.  It's very popular in the
States and the first one in the UK will be held on August 29th-31st.
More on the NFJS eXchange can be found here: (http://www.nfjs-exchange.com).

The reason I'm asking whether LRUG would be interested in hosting a BOF
Session at the eXchange is because we are going to have a talk on JRuby,
amongst other sessions.

On top of that we will be offering local user groups a discount on the
tickets for the eXchange!  I'll send over more details of that in the
next coming weeks.

Do you think either of these things would be of interest to the
LRUGers?  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Jo
