This is a one day meetup for people who are interested in creating Widgets, sharing ideas about Widgets, and turning applications into Widget containers.

Scott Wilson (CETIS) will be there to talk about the Apache Wookie (Incubating) widget engine and progress on the W3C's Widgets specifications, and to help anyone looking at integrating Wookie with other applications. Wilbert Kraan (CETIS) will also be demonstrating integration of Wookie with Google Wave.

The event will be fairly informal with lots of opportunities to share code and experiences; there will also be the opportunity to demo work in progress. If you have any suggestions for a short presentation please [mailto:s.macneill@strath.ac.uk email Sheila MacNeill].

The event is being sponsored by the JISC and is free to attended. The meetup follows the JISC Repositories programme Show and Tell Event. The meetup has been developed in association with The Apache Software Foundation.
