The OSSGTP and Les CastCodeurs have organized a 2 days Snow Camp in France at Les 2 Alpes 3 weeks ago (April 2011). I was there with 20 or so other geeks and we had a great time skiing and discussing of technology and of our open source projects.
Just to name a few:
- Emmanuel Bernard – JBoss by Red Hat
- Henry Gomez – eXo Platform
- Mathilde Lemée - Independant
- Ludovic Poitou ForgeRock
- Julien Viet – eXo Platform
- Christophe Laprun – JBoss by Red Hat
- Alain Defrance – eXo Platform
- Miguel Moquillon - Silverpeas
- Arnaud Heritier – eXo Platform
- Emmanuel Hugonet – Silverpeas
- Jean-Laurent Morlhon - Xebia
- Paul Sandoz – CloudBees
- Vincent Massol – XWiki
- Jean-Baptiste Lemée – Independant
- Emmanuel Lécharny – Iktek
I was lucky to have Emmanuel Bernard as a private Git coach 
He's a good teacher who makes you learn fast. Just try to make a mistake and you'll see what happens... XWiki was just moving to Git (and GitHub) and I was in need of a quick training session to get me started. I got help from the other geeks too and that's when I discovered that Git wasn't an exact science... everyone has his own way of using it and there are lots of ways of doing the same thing...
I had some fun coding a quick GitHub integration in XWiki too using Groovy.
On the second day we recorded a special LesCastCodeurs podcast; we arranged 15 geeks around a table and launched some tech topics at random to get a discussion started. The result is available here (in French).
Let's do this again next year!
