Liferay Meetup 2008

Thanks to everyone who came to participate in last Friday's meetup in sunny Los Angeles! It was loads of fun. Check out www.flickr.com/photos/tags/liferaymeetup2008 for more pics.

Here are the guys from Italy who built pjoon, a popular Italian social network based on Liferay.

Bryan and I giving our talk.

Paul Bakaus giving a talk. He's the jQuery UI lead who is responsible for all the jQuery UI components now used in Liferay 5.1.

Ray Auge giving a demo of our improved CMS features. He's showing how you can stage the entire portal with workflow across remote clusters. Neat stuff.

But you know we didn't come for the talks.. it's for hanging out and eating together!

There's Rich, Manish, Raju, and Ray... oh, and Raju's head is hiding Wesley.

There's Michelle intensely looking at a brainstorming about new ways of leveraging Liferay.

Nate giving his talk on UI patterns used in Liferay. Crazy stuff.

That's me and my wife Caris hanging out at the happy hour after the meetup. Gotta keep her happy or I won't get to do any of this.

Just some guys who decided to show up. :)

Did I mention California has awesome Mexican food?

Brian Kim doing some brainstorming with Wesley on his iPhone.

Ready... set...

Jump!

It was fun. See guys in Los Angeles next year. Oh, and whoever is showing up at the European Meetup, see you in a few weeks.

Looks very good! Is there any news already about what will be on the list for the European meetup? I would like to come but it depends on the topics (and my boss )

[steffen schuler]

It would be great to see you jumping around in europe too : ) and it would be really gret to see the videos of your talks online... this would be a great timesaver. With Youtube Portlet this should work out of the box ; )

Yes, definitely looking forward to the European meeting. Nice pics. ;)
