From the 2nd to 4th October two members of our team attended the Cocoon Gettogether 2006 in Amsterdam. Since Mindquarry is using Cocoon for its web presentation layer, it was quite important for us to get some insight into Cocoon and mostly get in touch with the Cocoon community. It was very interesting to see that Cocoon is being used as a professional tool, either as part of their product or service, or by providing consulting for others using Cocoon.

For the first two days we had a Hackathon, meaning everyone sat together, fixed bugs and hacked new features. On the third day the actual conference took place. Apart from Andrew's entertaining maven-scream presentation about Cocoon and it's community, the most interesting talks for us were about REST and Cocoon, the blocks protocol and the connection of Subversion and Solr. Another outcome was that a 2.2 final release is not too far away.

That is how it looked like at the Hackathon (yeah, don't let any sunlight distract our displays). Note the list of bugs to be fixed before leaving the room on the right!:

The venue was located at the Felix Meritis:
