I've tried to organise these before, last time I had one person turn
up :)<br>
<br>
I live in London and Michael Anstis is near by. Mauricio Salatino
will be moving near by in March too. If there are people who are
genuinely interested in learning to hack/improve
Drools&jBPM&Guvnor, and not just after free consultancy, we
can arrange days and evenings in London. The Red Hat office is on
Baker Street and has a room suitable for about 8 people.<br>
<br>
I live in Chiswick and will gladly meet up with anyone at any time
there, night or day. I regularly work from nero's of starbucks :)<br>
<br>
Also remember the entire Drools&jBPM&Guvnor team is always
available on irc.<br>

<div>Hi folks,</div>

</div>
<div>As with Mark's response on OSGI this morning, there have been
a number of answers to questions on this list that mention that
components are either not currently being worked on, or which
request that users contribute new features or patches.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It tends not to be that easy to get to grips with a large
open source project, so recently the London Java Community
organised an OpenJDK hack session (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.meetup.com/Londonjavacommunity/events/49243872/">http://www.meetup.com/Londonjavacommunity/events/49243872/</a>)
where they were helping people to build the projects and working
on some 'low-hanging-fruit' issues. And apparently the session
produced around 20 patches, which seems pretty impressive to me
given that it was just a 3-hour evening session.</div>
<div><br>

<div>There seems to be a reasonable number of Drools developers
and users in or near London, although I'm not sure about other
locations. So I was wondering how feasible it might be to
organise something similar around Drools. Obviously it would
need a combination of some core developers prepared to spend
some of their time helping folks such as myself get to grips
with building and testing things, and enough developers
interested in spending their spare time learning their way
around the internals of the various Drools components. The
London JBoss User Group set up a JBoss AS7 hackathon last year,
so perhaps there might be someone there who would be prepared to
help out?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any thoughts?</div>
