; Where : Hannover, Germany |
|||
== Collecting of Ideas == |
|||
To celebrate the '''10th birthday of Arianne and 5th birthday of Stendhal''' we held a conference in Hannover, Germany. |
|||
* have some talks during the day (suggested by kymara) |
|||
Guests attended from across 3 continents; it was truly an international event. |
|||
* and party at night |
|||
* Planning type meetings? (e.g. on Administration, proposed features, how to promote the project, etc?) |
|||
The attendees were : |
|||
== Ideas and suggestions for Talks == |
|||
''Hendrik, Markus, Miguel, Kimmo, Katie, Silvio, Marco, Vanessa, Anka, Astrid, Marcus, Daniel, Nadine, Karin, Isabella, Jenny, Simon and Yoriy''. |
|||
The Arianne team would like to especially thank Professor Loewe, Ms Rottmann and all at the [http://www.fhdw-hannover.de/ FHDW Hannover] for all their help in making this conference a success. Warm thanks go to Karin for bringing us such gorgeous food (and some gorgeous people too, with special guest Baby!) Hendrik and Markus worked really hard with the planning and practical side, so thanks to them. Oh, and don't forget Katie who played the mother and guided the groups safely through Hanover by both picking a hotel and keeping the group day ticket for public transport. And she took lots of notes during the various discussions. |
|||
In this section suggestions and ideas about talks are collected. Those are just first ideas that may be adjusted. This includes the speaker, so if you are interested in giving a talk on a subject, just add your name. And if you want to listen to a talk on a subject just suggest it. |
|||
Finally we'd like to thank everyone who attended for making this a really special project birthday celebration. |
|||
The target group is split into Developers, Contributors and Players/Users. This may change based on feedback of who is going to join us. |
|||
==Events== |
|||
=== Concepts of Marauroa and how to use it === |
|||
===Friday=== |
|||
On Friday afternoon and evening the first arrivals met for a sight seeing tour of Hannover, then later dinner, discussion and drinks. |
|||
We started the development discussions early with inspiring ideas flowing fast. |
|||
===Saturday=== |
|||
; Speaker : Hendrik Brummermann (Germany) |
|||
Saturday was a really great day. We were very lucky to have a wonderful room at the Conference facilities of the FHDW, thanks to Professor Loewe and Ms Rottmann. |
|||
; Language : English |
|||
It had everything we needed including internet access, a projector for the talks, whiteboards, and a lot of coffee! |
|||
; Target group : Developers |
|||
More arrivals were greeted. It was so special to meet people that we have become friends with online, in real life. |
|||
; Abstract : In this talk I will present the basic ideas of the Marauroa engine (Actions, Perceptions, Messages, Events, Objects and Classes) and explain how to use them for your own games and programs. I will start with a very short introduction to UML class diagrams as they are a handy tool to describe object oriented structures. |
|||
At midday we started the first session of [[Arianne Project Meeting 2010/Talks|talks]]. Miguel, Hendrik and Katie were Saturday's speakers. For more details on the talks please see here, which has reviews, slides, and videos. |
|||
The foreign visitors were especially lucky: we were able to sample some real German homebaked food, brought especially by Karin. |
|||
With a lot of talking and thinking and discussion, the lovely food was really welcome to keep our energy levels high and give us a real |
|||
taste of German cooking. |
|||
On Saturday evening we ate at a friendly local restaurant, [http://www.petros-restaurant.de/ Petros]. We continued more discussions, had some fun playing cards, |
|||
and then went into Hannover centre. We played some funny Stendhal based drawing games at the next bar! |
|||
=== |
===Sunday=== |
||
On Sunday again we were able to use the well equipped room at the FHDW. Kimmo gave a very interesting demonstration on how to use Gimp to create Stendhal graphics. Markus taught us how to write automatic test to ensure the high quality of Stendhal releases before Yoriy gave a talk on his Pied Piper Quest. We ended the official part of the day with a vision of Marauroa's future given by Markus and Hendrik. |

|||
; Speaker : Hendrik Brummermann (Germany) |
|||
; Language : English |
|||
; Target group : Developers |
|||
; Abstract : There is a number of very interesting and complicated things on the feature wish list for Marauroa. As you are probably aware of, KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) is one of the main principal of Marauroa. This of course does not mean that we cannot do complicated things. But it means that complicated things have to be well thought of and be broken into small parts. In this talk I will present ideas on how to archive the following "feature" and ask for you feedback and suggestion on the issues: |
|||
:* No more lag caused by MySQL: A totally asynchronous approach to database access |
|||
:* How to tunnel the Marauroa protocol over https and why it is more difficult than it seems to be on first glance (e. g. multiplexing with normal web traffic, not wanting to have 127.0.0.1 as client address in the logs) |
|||
:* How to map a dynamic object model into a database table structure instead of a blob, so that we can use SQL for queries and updates (Yes, i know that Marauroa 1.0 failed and I will present a meta model approach that avoids those pitfalls) |
|||
:* Integration of production and test system |
|||
:* Steps toward cluster-support |
|||
Afterwards we went for another really nice meal at Petros. Hendrik challenged us with some Java puzzles over dinner. |

Arianne Project Meeting 2010
To celebrate the 10th birthday of Arianne and 5th birthday of Stendhal we held a conference in Hannover, Germany. Guests attended from across 3 continents; it was truly an international event.
The attendees were : Hendrik, Markus, Miguel, Kimmo, Katie, Silvio, Marco, Vanessa, Anka, Astrid, Marcus, Daniel, Nadine, Karin, Isabella, Jenny, Simon and Yoriy.
The Arianne team would like to especially thank Professor Loewe, Ms Rottmann and all at the FHDW Hannover for all their help in making this conference a success. Warm thanks go to Karin for bringing us such gorgeous food (and some gorgeous people too, with special guest Baby!) Hendrik and Markus worked really hard with the planning and practical side, so thanks to them. Oh, and don't forget Katie who played the mother and guided the groups safely through Hanover by both picking a hotel and keeping the group day ticket for public transport. And she took lots of notes during the various discussions.
Finally we'd like to thank everyone who attended for making this a really special project birthday celebration.
