[rules-users] [rules-dev] Drools&jBPM Boot Camps 2011 USA and EMEA (Rules, Workflow, Event Processing and Ontologies)

[Leonardo Gomes]

Hi Mark,

I would like to get involved as well. However, until the end of this year I
don't think I will be much available. I should have more free time from
mid-January on.

Anyway, JudCon Berlin is happening on October 2010, so I think that in
Europe it should be happening more at the end of 2011.

Keep us posted.

Cheers,
Leo.
