14. Feb. 2004, Tomi Engel ObjectFarm
Wocoa Camp Location

The drummers of the Wocoas, an European tribe of WebObjects and Cocoa developers, are beating their drums again. Apple is getting serious about servers and big bad clusters and the Macintosh is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary ... guess what ... its time to dance!

Wocoa Camp DreamcatcherAs usual this event will try to be as unorganized as ever. Please do not expect a regular and boring trade show or conference but bring your drums and PowerBooks instead. This is a coming together and a sharing of knowledge and wisdom.

The Location

This time it will happen in the month of the hunger and our host will be cluster9 ... so we are gathering in the northern part of "Old Europe".

cluster9 GmbH
Mendelssohnstrasse 15 E
22761 Hamburg
Germany

Sat, February 14, 2004 - 12:00 until open end!

A detailed map of the place can be found here

Registration

If you intend to join us, please send a message with your name and preferred email-address to:

smokesignal@wocoa.org

as soon as you can. Both are necessary for your name badge. And ...

  • if you want the name of your tribe or company to appear on your name badge, please tell us what it should be.

  • if you have a cool application that you would like to demo to other people, or have an interesting topic that you would like to share with other dancers - just let us know. We will publish these topics on this webpage and the peoples mailinglist, so that others will know who to talk to.

After registration you will receive a confirmation mail and a second mail with the exact location details, shortly prior to the event. You will also be added to the people@wocoa.org mailing list unless you explicitly state that you do not wish to be part of it.

We do not charge any fee for attending this Pow Wow but you will have to cover your own expenses.

You must register because we need to know how many Wocoa dancers will stomp our tipi. Otherwise we cannot guarantee to find a place big enough for all of us.

Warning

Please note ... while we should have a beamer and internet connection in place, please be aware that "sharing an interesting topic" should not be read as "giving a full blown hyper complicated sales presentation of your product and having the right to be depressed if nobody cares to listen". Our Pow Wows are organized chaos ... you have been warned!

This time we will limit the presentation time to 15 - 20 minutes each, so that enough time will remain for getting into privat conversation without missing any "demo dances".

Scheduled Dances

Like during previous events we are again looking forward to welcome approximatly 50 motivated and creative Wocoa dancers.

For the first time in our Wocoa history we will broadcast the dances via QuickTime streaming, so that you can join us even from other place on this globe. If you want to tune in point your QuickTime player or webbrowser to one of the following streams (starting 14:00 CET):
