So I had a great meeting with Asheesh last Friday, and I've been totally
swamped with Coming Out Week (Babson/Olin decided 1 day wasn't enough, and
gave me 2 weeks notice of this decision AWESOME and crushing)
Just jam it all into a pastebin and give 'em a link with no context, then!
And that is what I intend to do:
http://www.pastie.org/1190343
The gist is we need to think hard about how
Few changes
* 30:30 for Kevin's training
* Have a training session on Saturday (get people into the door for working
on projects)
* Rehersal
* Make use of
*
http://asheesh.org/scratch/Penn_open_source_hackathon
*
http://openetherpad.org/session-2
* Have leads on projects / efforts, advertise to others on joining projects
(instead of "find something in the bug tracker that looks interesting"
* Lookup Pomodoro Technique
Even Asheeh will be surprised by a few of these.
More to come. Pre-Fad will determine a lot.
Cheers,
Colin

The good part of this is that I *have* run high-traffic sites based on
Java middleware, and have some experience in troubleshooting that from
an admin side of the container/etc. Why are you using Jetty as opposed
to something real (say Tomcat)? Deploying there shouldn't be *too*
difficult, and we might get something more valuable out of the
container. I assume that you've limited the Java heap size with
-Xms/-Xmx as well....anyhow, we can talk and hack on that part of
it....
