[rules-users] Drools Boot Camp (Oct 16-21) and Texas Rules Fest goes bigger and better (Oct 22-24)

http://blog.athico.com/2008/09/drools-boot-camp-and-texas-rules-fest.html ------------- Due to large number of registrations the Texas Rules Fest has had to move location from the Addison to the Sheraton Dallas: http://www.rulesfest.org/OctoberRulesFest/Location.html As a reminder entire Drools team will be at the *Dallas Rules Fest*, <http://rulesfest.org/>this October 22nd to 24th. This is a *must attend* non-profit event, with $150 registration fee, for hands on rule training on a variety of products and disciplines with some top industry speakers <http://rulesfestregistration.dallasrulesgroup.org/Speakers> and a fantastic agenda <http://rulesfestregistration.dallasrulesgroup.org/Agenda> - *just stuff, not fluff* ;) Gary Riley will be there, author of the rules "bible" Expert Systems <http://www.allbookstores.com/book/9780534937447/Gary_Riley/Expert_Systems...;, talking about his rule engine the venerable Clips <http://clipsrules.sourceforge.net/>;. Charles Forgy, the inventor of Rete and "father" of rule engines, will be there talking about his break through research in parallel executing rule engines. Daniel Selman from Ilog will be there giving tutorials on the ilog engine and tooling. The organisers have asked me to remind everyone thinking of going to register <http://www.rulesfest.org/OctoberRulesFest/Register.html> sooner, rather than later, as they may actually sell out if the rate of registrations continues. Come Join the Week Long Drools Boot Camp The Drools team will actually be arriving the week before, on the 15th, for our team meeting which is open to all and starts official on the the 16th in the Best Western hotel <http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/productInfo.do?propertyCode=44540... conference room. So if you want to chat rules in general or specifically on your problems, or just get involved in some hard core programming, please do come along. We will be staying at the Best Western hotel <http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/productInfo.do?propertyCode=44540... which has rooms from just $69USD per night :) So far we have Franklin America <https://www.franklinamerican.com/> and German Aerospace <http://www.dlr.de/en/> joining us for the team meeting and hard core Drools coding, still room for more :)
