The great 2011 Eiffel Design Feast

[Emmanuel Stapf [ES]]

Design the next-generation Eiffel Web solution!
(Zurich, 25-26 June 2011.)

The software of the future will, for a large part, run on the cloud. A
superb Web application design framework is the hallmark of a great
software environment. While Web solutions for Eiffel exist (ever since
the first EiffelWeb library in 1994) the design of the ideal Eiffel Web
solution remains in the future.

The future is June 25 and 26. We are holding an Eiffel Design Feast in
Zurich on this date. The participants will, together, devise the next
Web development framework, taking full advantage of Eiffel's strengths.

The Eiffel Design Feast will take place at ETH Zurich over two full
days, just prior to the TOOLS conference week (http://tools.ethz.ch);
the results will be presented at the Eiffel workshop on the next day
(https://wiki.se.inf.ethz.ch/nec/bin/view/Main/ToolsWorkshop).
Participation is free but participants are responsible for their own
expenses (see the TOOLS pages for information about accommodation).

The Eiffel Design Feast is open to anyone with design experience, Web
experience, Eiffel experience and a genuine desire to help build an
outstanding open-source solution. A document describing an analysis of
available choices and possible directions will be circulated to
participants ahead of time to help start an effective discussion. We
hope the event will result in clear design decisions, a solid
architecture, and a blueprint for the rest of the development.

If you wish to showcase your design skills and help shape the future,
please write to desig...@eiffel.com including a short description of
your background including experience (Eiffel, Web framework design etc.)
relevant to the Design Feast.
