Barcelona JUG: Drools & jBPM workshop

Salaboy is back again with some great news! They are planning a meeting in Barcelona to show the new tooling provided by Drools & jBPM 6. The event will be hosted by BarcelonaJUG as they did last year but this year we are aiming to do a more workshop oriented event, where you can attend with your laptop and play with the tooling. The main goal of the workshops is for you to have the tooling installed and working in your own environment. We will also be giving some guidelines about how to contribute with the community projects, so if you are interested in being part of these amazing communities this is a very good opportunity to get you started.

The event

The location of the event will be in "La Fontana" (The fountain):
Carrer Gran de Gràcia, 19008012 Barcelona
On the 10th of December we will be starting at 6:30 pm, but feel free to be there before that time because I'm sure that we will be setting up the place at least an hour earlier.
It will be good if you show up with your laptop, because we will be trying to showing in your own environment how the tools work. A couple of days before the meet up I will be sharing some links that you will be able to download and pre install if you want to, to save some time on the event for more important and advanced questions. Another important thing that you can bring to the event is your 3G dongle if you have one. We are not 100% sure about the internet connectivity of the venue, but for some of the demos internet connection will be required, so be prepared to share some bandwidth.
That's all for now, stay tuned!
Don't hesitate to drop a comment if there is something in particular that you want to see on the event.
PS: the event will be in Spanish, but if you are from abroad and want to attend we will do our best to share as much as we can with you.

El Evento (Spanish)

Nos estaremos reunion en "La Fontana" ( en el centro de Barcelona. La dirección del evento sera:
Carrer Gran de Gràcia, 19008012 Barcelona
El 10 de Diciembre 2013 estaremos comenzando a las 6:30 pm, pero siéntanse libres de llegar un poco antes ya que estaremos preparando el lugar como mínimo una hora antes de empezar.
La idea principal del evento es poder compartir con ustedes las novedades de los proyectos comunitarios Drools y jBPM y al mismo tiempo que ustedes se lleven instaladas las herramientas provistas por estos proyectos en sus laptops. En los días previos al evento voy a estar compartiendo algunos links con las herramientas para descargar e instalar. Con esto ahorraremos algo de tiempo para entrar mas en detalle durante la charla y no perder el tiempo instalando la herramienta o copiando archivos, así que visiten el blog o ponganse en contacto si no reciben los mismos.
Aparte de sus laptops seria importante si pueden conseguir Dongles 3G para tener conectividad a internet durante el evento, ya que algunas demos requieren conectarse a servidores remotos para bajar ejemplos. En el caso de tener un Dongle 3G por favor llevenlos al evento y estén dispuestos a compartir conectividad con el resto de los participantes.
Eso es todo por ahora! No duden en dejar un comentario sobre sus intereses personales sobre el evento. Siempre es bueno saber cuales son las expectativas de la audiencia.
PD: el evento sera en español.
