EclipseLink/Development/Summit

EclipseLink Summit 2010

May 25-27, 2010 - Oracle Offices Ottawa Canada

This Summit will offer interested committers an opportunity to dive deeper into the implementation. Long time and new committers, contributors, and consumers will get together and exchange information about the project with the goal of increasing the shared knowledge and capturing it in updated architecture and design documents.

Program Committee: Doug Clarke, Shaun Smith, Peter Krogh
