We took in some information regarding portlets and how they are deployed (using the deploy-portlet-app target).
It was suggested that we need a Maven seminar at the next conference.
The General Session presentation by Kaye Howe was entitled "Ubiquity, Interdependence, and the Age of Collaboration". It wasn't a technology speech, but the content was very interesting. The topics included Odysseus, Prometheus (and fire), Faust, the correspondence between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Rush, the Declaration of Independence, Descartes, and Oedipus Rex. How's that?
I spent the afternoon in an excellent soup to nuts session on uPortal, given by JA-SIG uPortal expert, Andrew Petro. I couldn't really get much to work in the seminar (no fault of Andrew) but did manage to have some success in the airport and on the plane. The session was well worth it for me and will help me immensely in my efforts to understand this project.
