Edson,
Would you please clarify what kind of exercise you guys are planing to do for the Drools Bootcamp?
which level of Drools knowledge is required to attend the bootcamp?
Is it worth it for people who have been using Drools for some time now?
The morning will be talks, for those that know Drools well, it will mostly be what they know. The afternoon will be an open workshop, this means people work through examples with us onhand to help. There are also more experience people there who are already working on their own projects and just want a bit of mentoring/advice/insite, and often bring their code along with them. Those people will probably just code away in the morning, with one eye on the talks if anything interests them they haven't seen before. The other type of person are those wanting to actually hack on Drools internals adding news features.

You get the most out of the Day if you know what it is you specifically want and know how to ask it. What the day isn't is 8 hours of spoon fed step by step workshop tutorials that you would get on a training course.

In the past we used virtual machine images on a USB stick, but setting that up always caused a lot of problems. So this year I think we are going to provide bootable usb sticks with Fedora and Drools ready to go, so people can work through examples and just hack code.

Mark

Thanks,
Abde

   Hey people,

   I am glad to see that people are registering for the bootcamp (and the conference)! Hope to meet you all there! If you've never been to Rules Fest before (this is the 3rd year it is happening), it is the only technical, no-fluff, conference in Rules Engines and related technologies that I know of.  I had a great time last 2 years and I know it will not be different this year.

   And for those that did not registered yet, just a reminder, the early bird discount ends today as per the e-mail bellow.

   Edson

Bootcamps

Rules Fest 2010 offers a number of hands-on tutorial and coding sessions known as "bootcamps." These events give all developers — from novice to advanced — a chance to learn new technologies and/or techniques while being coached by those who know them well. All bootcamps are a full day, and they run concurrently on Thursday, October 14th, the day after the main conference ends.
