Join the OpenROAD Team as it Sprints Down Under!

Join the OpenROAD Development team as it heads "down under" for the
Ingres OpenROAD "Wizards of Oz Tour 2008"! The tour will include
whistle stops in Melbourne (December 3-5, 2008) and Sydney (December
10, 2008). Participating in this event from Ingres Corp. are:

- Joseph Kronk, Director of Engineering
- Durwin Wright, Senior Architect
- Bodo Bergmann, Senior Engineer
- David Tondreau, Architect

Each stop will include an OpenROAD User Day event with a variety of
presentations on OpenROAD by the development team. In addition, the
Melbourne stop will begin with a two day "code sprint" similar to the
event held at the UK Ingres User Association Spring '08 user event and
the Ingres Open Engineering Summit '08.

The code sprint is open to all customers and community members and
givesyou the opportunity to "get your hands dirty," understand more
about the code that makes up the OpenROAD product, and even contribute
a bug fix
or implement an enhancement. Read Kim Ginnerup's user page
http://community.ingres.com/wiki/User:Kgi%40%2A%2A%2A on the Ingres
Community wiki to find out how fun and educational this event can be.

More information on the schedule of activities for the "OpenROAD Days"
events will be published soon but seating at the events will be
limited so be sure to make your reservation soon! Contact Contact Joe
Kronk
(joseph.kronk@ingres.com) for more information.

In addition, we're looking for your input! Got an idea for a bug or
enhancement you'd like to tackle at the code sprint? Or, perhaps
you'd like to "sprint backwards" and have us help you integrate an new
OpenROAD 2006 feature like portlets, mouse events, the eClient or
mClient or HTTP access to the OpenROAD Server in /your/ application!
If so, let us know! Contact Joe Kronk (joseph.kronk@ingres.com) with
your suggestion or request.
