Texas October Rules Fest and Drools Team Meeting

The Texas Rules User Group is organising a 3 day conference for Expert Systems starting October the 22nd – the October Rules Fest (ORF) . It’s a non-profit event costing only $150 for the three days. This is a “No Fluff, Just Stuff” conference and the idea is to keep it technical so people can actually learn. The sessions are listed here, the speakers bios here and the agenda here. The sessions and speakers are still fluid at the moment, but I’ve been sent a more up to date version, which I’ve pasted at the end of this blog. There is also a promotion PDF here. I know the organisers are still searching for sponsors, to help justify the low cost for the event, so if you can help please do.

The Drools team will arrive a week earlier on the 15th of October and will be doing a 7 day team meeting at the Best Western Hotel. This meeting is open to the public, so if you want some hard core hands on coding do try and come down and join in with the coding fest 🙂 This is a great opportunity to learn Drools at an indepth level and contribute back to the project, we can also assist helping you to solve any Drools extensions you are doing for your job – a great opportunity for you to get your managers time and budget approval 🙂 The Best Western is currently only $89 per night, so very affordable.
