Organizing the Open Education Session for Day 1 of the OASIS SCA F2FMeeting in September,

Folks,

As part of the OASIS SCA F2F meeting
planned for Palo Alto in the week beginning 17th September, 

Day 1 is planned to be an SCA education
session, open to all.

I've agreed to help coordinate the education
session and this note aims to start the process of building

an agenda for the education session
and it is also a request for help from those folks who are experts

in one or more parts of SCA.  We
need to share out both the preparation of material and the presentation

of material on the day.

Here are my initial thoughts - comments
and suggestions welcome, of course

1) Schedule for the day

I suggest 09:00 - 12:00 and 13:00 -
16:00 as the times for the education session.

This allows time for lunch and time
at the end for discussions between attendees and presenters.

2) Topic areas

- SCA Overview (a general overview touching
on everything that follows....)

- SCA Assembly model

- SCA Java (to include Spring and JEE)

- SCA BPEL

- SCA Policy Framework (to include Security,
Reliable Messaging and Transactions)

- SCA Bindings (to include Web services,
JMS, JCA)

- SCA C++ 

- SCA Work in Progress (?) to include
COBOL, C, Pub/Sub, 

I think that something like this ordering
would be a good idea.

I'm looking for volunteers!

a) to prepare the materials

b) to give the presentations - I suggest
no more than 2 people per topic

3) Format

I suggest that the core of the material
will be slide presentations.

If we can fit them in, it would be nice
to have some live demos of material closely related to the slides,

but that will also depend on whether
we can fit them into the schedule.

The presentations will be posted onto
the OASIS OpenCSA website after the session.

09:00 - 09:40 SCA Overview
