Pre-Summit Drinkup/Meetup and JUDCON

[Sarah White]

Hi Summit planners,

I've updated the information regarding two pre-summit events.

An informal JBoss contributors and users Meetup/Drinkup will happen on
Sunday night (06-24 ), from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at The Bell in Hand
Tavern. Check out the wikipage for directions, url, etc.  The meetup
is open to everyone, even if you are not attending the Summit.

JUDCon

Just an FYI, JUDCon doesn't really share anything in common with the
structure of a FUDCon (at least the US JUDCon, the European and Indian
JUDCons might be different). The talks at JUDCon are chosen by a
committee within JBoss prior to the conference, and the talks aren't
the interactive 'let's brainstorm and find a solution to this
bug/develop this feature' style. I'd describe JUDCon as simply an
extension of the JBoss tracks at the Summit (but remember this is my
opinion!).

On Monday night there are some fun events (but remember, you have to
have registered and paid to attend them) including Community
recognition awards, a live JBoss Asylum broadcast, and a Hackerfest.
In the past the hackerfest has been 10-15 people, mainly the JBoss
engineers from 1 or 2 projects planning out features and fixes for the
upcoming year, however the schedule says that this year there will be
lightening talks during the same time period, so maybe it will get a
shot of life this year!

Cheers,

Sarah

Do we have to register or anything for the meetup?

I don't think so, but I'll double check with Andrew just in case.
