How do you design?
How do you express to a client you understand their issues and needs? How do you transfer this information to developers so what the client wants is what is built? Do you build user interfaces around the data or the tasks?
This will be a round table discussion about building specs from both the sales point of view and the development point of view.
Bring any sample diagrams/tools you use and learn from your peers.

Enhancements/Migrations/Updates Implementation Best Practices Pow-Wow
Creating a solution for a client is the easy part. Implementing and applying updates to a multi-file, multi-table solution (remotely, even) can get tricky. Since we can't automatically deploy code from dev to prod (or can we?), let's get together and share techniques.

Visualizing the FileMaker Server Stats Logs.
This will be a quick demonstration of a technique developed at Tekserve to make the FileMaker server logs more useful. We use Ruby and launchd to copy entries from the logs into a MySQL database - and jQuery to graph the data. The Ruby "Tail" script will be provided upon request.
Setting up FileMaker Sever on Amazon EC2.
This will be a quick demonstration of how to create, configure, and host instances of FileMaker server on Amazon EC2 - giving you the abilty to be your own hosting provider without the need to purchase or maintain hardware. The entire process only takes about 15 minutes.

Crowd-Sourcing a free, drag and drop calendar.
We've coded up some of the changes suggested in round 1 and loaded them to our testing server. So this session will feature some A/B testing to see how fast some of these suggestions. If they work, we remove one more relationship and possibly ALL required fields in the data tables.
(This is the second instance of this topic, so if someone needs this space just email me and you can have it.)

woops, hereby retracting the offer of a printable version, too labor-intensive, too much mud-wrestling with code (unless someone with better CSS chops wants to help)

I am actually dealing with some virtual server issues right now...if some one wants to host it, I'll definitely be interested.
Don Levan said

Session Idea: Best practices for running a FM Server on a virtual configuration. Many of us are facing situations where the IT departments managing our FileMaker servers are going "virtual". Are there best practices and and configuration recommendations to successfully running a FileMaker server in a VM Ware (or other vendor) virtual environment. I don't want to present this one, just pick the brain of others. Perhaps a discussion?

I am bringing an HDMI to DVI cable, it should work with the in-room TVs. I'll update how this works once i get to the hotel.

Done. Court, I will have a projector with me I can leave set up in your room. Anyone who needs is welcome to use it, just don't move it :-)

Sure thing, move 'em over if you want.

Hi Court, there are a bunch of people in the KOE room that could probably go over to yours if you don't mind since you do have more space.

All,
I notice no one sees to be slotted in my room yet but me. I do have a loft available if anyone needs it. If no one needs it for classes, anyone is welcome to hang out there. Free forms discussions can sometimes be the most productive...

Hey Ernest, I'm not booking a room (only in for 1 day). Gerald Chang offered his room for my session, so perhaps there? The time is fine.
Ernest Y. Koe said
at 11:11 pm on Jul 13, 2009
Alrighty, this is my first crack and shaping the schedule. Thanks again for all your contribution to PoE. Please review your slots, let us know if things seem funky. I've added some passing time in between periods and place holder room labels. If you are presenting and still need a room, please let me know. We'll find something that'll work. So...its your turn, I am turning on the Crowdsourcing program (you!) for refinement. Oh yes, there are PLENTY of slots open and we expect LOTS of people, so I encourage you to consider offering a session or making up an ad hoc one as the spirit moves you. If you come up with a session, go rigth ahead and add it to the schedule above.
Many thanks,
Ernest Koe
