A while ago I promised campd that I would sign Hula up for the upcoming LinuxWorld Expo in London; I actually did the deed today at www.linuxexpo.org.uk (which doesn't have a great deal on it other than the registration).
Submissions are still taken til the 1st August. I don't know whether or not Hula will actually get a stand, but I think we stand a fair chance, given Hula is like hip and happening.
In terms of the display, I have very few ideas right now :o). How do you display a working e-mail server? Clearly, people will be most interested in seeing the front ends, seeing the web client and MUAs working with it. But, I also want to show people how you'd set it up with LDAP and Samba (as an example), since a lot of people are admins and interested in "the other side".
I'm not going to spend any time planning before we find out whether or not we get to go, but if people are in the UK and could come to Expo, do let me know via mail/irc/blog. Date for this thing is October 5/6, a good way away yet. Hardware wise, I can bring a couple of laptops and a fairly funky SFF server along, so that shouldn't be an issue - but as many people to man the stand and talk Hula as possible would be great.
Primarily to Ireland, but around our fair isles all over the place. Not that I now have much time for doing more Hula stuff; the UK Open Source Academy is taking off and means work, and the Ashes have just started - we need to beat the Aussies this year.
Apparently, there will be some kind of Hula roadmap out in the next week. The new calendar code is also expected.
It's a bit of a shame that this stuff is going on behind closed doors; the initial momentum in the project is a little in danger of being lost, because people can't participate in stuff they can't see.
... but really, again, not much new. I added some bugfixes posted to hula-dev, since they seem fairly obviously right (although, the IMAP one wouldn't apply - I wonder if the patch was edited manually ;).
There have been some upgrade problems apparently, so I've bumped the version of the library required.
