Infrastructure
Tables, chairs, a beamer and Wifi will be provided, as well as coffee and tea, but no lunch or food. If there's interest, we can go for a lunch together after the meetup ends.
There's a bar/restaurant on the ground floor where people can grab some food.
Program
The program of the gathering will consist of short (up to 30m) presentations, demos, discussions, etc. that anyone is welcome to propose. Just add your ideas to the table below. One key purpose of the gathering is to get to know what each of us is up to, so it would be really cool if you'd like to present or demo what you're doing with JCR!
Any JCR-related topic is OK, and no slides or demos are needed (but there's a beamer if you need it). Also, a presentation of just 5 minutes is perfectly OK, in fact a short and to the point style is preferred.
It may be that we won't have time to cover every subject, so please put your initials in the Interested columns for each proposal you're interested in so we can better prioritize what to include in the program of the gathering.
The schedule below is a rough estimate whose idea is to give a general idea of what to expect and when. We can and will modify the schedule as needed. We'll also have a few short breaks during the meetup for people to stand up and relax.
