JUDCon 2013 United States CFP sessions submitted

The call for papers (CFP) is open for JUDCon 2013 in the United States and I have submitted the following sessions. I am a big fan of JUDCon's and have spoken at quite a few around the world. The JUDCon events have taken off so fast the last two years that it is almost impossible to speak at each and every one (this year they have been in India and Brazil already), but I try to make the ones I can as it is a great venue to speak with all the various JBoss core developers / rock stars. You don't want to miss this!

Do you want to be a JBoss Rock Star? (Day 3, Track 2, 1230 hrs)

So you have seen the perfect JBoss project for your current development problem. Now what? 

You have seen amazing demos done by the core developers of these projects, but you want to create your own awesome demo to convince your friends, team and boss that this is exactly what they need. We can help you to become a local JBoss Rock Star with this session. We will provide you with the tools to setup repeatable demos and provide you with guidelines to allow you to consistently amaze and dazzle. This session will walk through three example integration demonstrations that span multiple JBoss components and are setup from scratch in minutes. 

You won't want to miss this session as it is the first step towards a future as a JBoss Rock Star!

jBPM Migration - generating your process future (Day 3, Track 3, 1330 hrs)

Since its birth in late 2010, the jBPM migration tool project has been marching forward to support the transformation of your jBPM3 processes to the latest versions of jBPM. It has been a journey that covers the support of a vast array of use cases, example enterprise process projects, supports various process designers and has finally been included into the Drools / jBPM project team as an official project.

This session will outline the status of the jBPM migration tooling project. We will take a look at the background of jBPM 3 process projects and detail what is supported right now to get your processes deployed onto the current version of jBPM. We will demo the existing tooling on several real life enterprise jBPM projects and outline our strategy for the various conceptual problems we encountered in moving your process constructs to BPMN2. These examples will provide you with real life scenarios to take home as an example for your own BPM projects. 

We will finish up with a demonstration of the jBPM migration tooling running in the Cloud. Each participant will depart this session fully enabled with their very own Cloud deployed jBPM Migration tooling. 

OpenShift Primer - get your JBoss into the Cloud (Day 2, Track 2, 1300 hrs)

Ever wondered about the new Cloud offerings out there? What is a PaaS? What is this thing called OpenShift? 

Whether your business is running on applications based on Java EE6, PHP or Ruby, the cloud is turning out to be the perfect environment for developing your business. There are plenty of clouds and platform-as-a-services to choose from, but where to start?  Join us for an action-packed hour of power where we'll show you how to deploy your existing application written in the language of your choice - Java, Ruby, PHP, Perl or Python, with the JBoss project of your choice - jBPM, Ceylon, Switchyard, Drools Planner, Aerogear, GateIn, Drools (Rules / BPM) and more deployed into the OpenShift PaaS in just minutes. All this and without having to rewrite your app to get it to work the way the cloud provider thinks your app should work. 

If you want to learn about OpenShift PaaS and see how investing 45 mins of your time can change everything you thought you knew about putting your business applications in the cloud, this session is for you!

(Speaker is author of e-book: OpenShift Primer, will be giving away copies in this session)

Hope to see you there! :)
