Dear All,

The recent thread about 3 rules for design principles got me thinking 
(again) about the possibility of seeing these things as *patterns* 
within a *context* rather than principles.

It seemed a good opportunity then for a shameless plug :). Below is a 
call for participation on the review of the text for "Patterns In XML". 
  Please considering participating.

To offset the bad karma of the plug, let me inform you that the 
resulting manuscript will be available in electronic form before it goes 
to the presses to any interested xml-deviants.

All the best,
	F.

Call For Participation

Patterns in XML
ChiliPLoP 2005 Hot Topic

This group will deal with the discussion, practical application, and 
refinement of 6 of the 24 patterns contained in the upcoming Addisson 
Wesley book "Patterns in XML".

This effort continues the work started in Illinois during PLoP 2004, and 
will be (hopefully :)) the final public review of the manuscript.

Goals

Put a significant number of patterns through the scrutiny of the 
ChiliPlop conference, making sure they are as tightly-written and useful 
as possible.

Put the patterns to work against real life examples brought by the 
participants and see how well they perform.

Requirements

Prior to the workshop participants must have:

* Read the Chapters, which will be publicly available a month before the 
conference.
* Have a significant experience with XML and/or Patterns. Seasoned 
Pattern writers who can attest the quality of the chapters are 
especially welcome.
* [Optional/Recommended] participants should bring one or more 
modeling/processing/transforming problems so the patterns can be applied 
against them.


Application

Send an email to fabio@p... by Tuesday, February 10, 2005.

Activities

* We will jointly review the patterns in the traditional writer's 
workshop style of ChiliPLoP (There will be at least one chapter/pattern 
for each section of the  book (Structuring, Processing, Transforming, 
Generating).

*We will jointly analyze, apply, and yes, code a solution to 4 xml 
processing problems using the patterns as guidance.


Important Dates

February 1-10, 2005: Submit your request to participate (a note 
indicating your interest should be enough). We will notify you if you 
have been selected to participate within a couple of days of your 
submission.

February 15, 2005: Early registration deadline.

March 22-25, 2005: Work on it.


What's in it for me?

Apart from the invaluable learning experience :) participants will  get 
free copies of the book when it comes out, and  providers of major 
feedback will get Acknowledgment credit in the book.
