Unconference


Day 2 of ScalaMatsuri (7th Sep) will be Japan's first ever Scala unconference.

If you're new to Scala and you have any questions, this is the perfect opportunity to get them answered.

On the other hand, if you're an experienced Scala user with something to share, why not prepare some slides and give a talk?

Time
Sunday 7th September 2014, 10am-5pm (venue opens at 9am)
Meals
We will provide both breakfast and lunch

What's an unconference?

An unconference, unlike a traditional conference in which the talks are decided beforehand, is a more spontaneous and interactive format.

At an unconference, all the attendees get together for a stand-up meeting in the morning, swap ideas for talks and decide the schedule for the day. After that, people split into small groups for talks and roundtable discussions.

For example, we might end up with sessions like:

  • Introductory workshop about Play Framework
  • Scalaz for hardcore hackers!
  • Roundtable about issues encountered using Scala for projects at work

NE Scala 2014 had an unconference on day 2 which was well received, and they are also becoming more popular in Japan recently, so we decided to try it ourselves.

By the way Martin Odersky, the creator of Scala, will be at the unconference. So if you want to chew the fat with the great man himself, here's your chance!

We need your cooperation to make this unconference a success. Let's "Enjoy.scala" together!
