Just stumbled across ALUG and are quite interested in joining. My two colleagues Dewi Roberts and Craig Fordham and I would like to attend the next Ipswich social meeting on 3rd Monday of May. Just missed this months event yesterday. We work for a Linux centric software development company in Ipswich ( www.ipfour.co.uk). All of our server infrastructure and running Debian and Ubuntu, as well as all of our desktops and laptops. We are regular contributors to UbuntuGuide.org We have development skills involving PHP, Perl, Bash, Java, XML, XSLT, FOP, Apache Cocoon, Hibernate, Spring, Symfony etc Anyone else with similar interests and skills? -- LOUIS KING Research & Development Manager tel:// (0870) 9970304 fax:// (0870) 1306328 eml:// l.king@in-time.co.uk ================================= InTIME Timesheet Technology Fisons House 159 Princes Street Ipswich Suffolk IP1 1QH =================================

Ooo, I've found the other person who has used Cocoon! :)
I like Cocoon as well. Mainly because I'm an unreconstructed XML geek but also because I like clean URL design. I even started my own little re-implementation of Cocoon in Python once (because Java is pants): http://code.google.com/p/pycoon/ (That project is now mainly developed by another person.) I would say something like "I look forward to lots of interesting Cocoon discussion" but there's very little to discuss about Cocoon (and also other list readers probably wouldn't appreciate it). Its simple and elegant and it just works. The only interesting topic related to it is XSLT which is teh fun.

Look back in the archives a bit, Andrew Savory used Cocoon rather a lot, and I'm assuming Mr Ray did a fair bit with it too back when he was working for Luminas - through those two I've played with Cocoon too, but not for quite some time. Cheers, -- Brett Parker

I think I was mostly low-level rather than Cocoon hacking. Supporting deployments, markup and doing Cocoon-like things in python with 4xslt. Java still annoys the hell out of me, so I probably wasn't doing much core coding. To be honest, if asked what I did for Luminas Limited, I'm no longer sure. Either I was a waste of space or I've blotted out bad memories... any road up, it's probably better for everyone that I'm doing webmastering, MVC web applications, sysadmin and consulting for a different company now. I still think Cocoon's still a good framework if you've a suitable application. Amusingly, I'm now relating some of the stuff I learnt about OAI to other library software and Luminas Limited taught me lots about how to run a business (and how I don't want one to run). I guess no learning is ever wasted. Anyway, if you want Norwich-based Cocoonery, look at Luminas and friends. Which is I guess what's already said.

Similar interests, but much smaller scale. I'm running a Debian server at home which mainly provides an sFTP storage area for a game development team I work with* I'm playing around with different distros on my laptop, I'm gonna give xubuntu 7.04 a go over the weekend. And I dabble in PHP from time to time too :-) Matt * <Plug> www.adellion.com <http://www.adellion.com/> </Plug> _____ From: main-bounces@lists.alug.org.uk [mailto:main-bounces@lists.alug.org.uk] On Behalf Of Louis King Sent: 17 April 2007 17:21 To: main@lists.alug.org.uk Subject: [ALUG] Hello Just stumbled across ALUG and are quite interested in joining.
