Date and Time
March 21 and 22 (Monday and Tuesday), 2005
9 AM to 4 PM each day
Developers are encouraged to stay for the remainder of the week (March 23-25) for a coding session. A wireless internet connection will be available, but developers will need to bring their own laptops. The purpose of this coding session is to give developers a chance to work together in person on the coding of uPortal 2.x and uPortal 3. What we do depends on how far along uPortal 3 code is at the time, release integration and QA work necessary for the 2.5 release, any decisions made at the developers meeting, and the interests of those participating in the coding session.
