PauseOnError is a gathering of software developers and consultants who use FileMaker. This is a self-organizing effort; there are no sponsors, no commercial marketing.
Cost: USD $0.00
yep, zero, zip, nada
Just BYOR (book your own room). Your room doubles as a meeting place if you choose to share something or hold a meeting.
Check out the sessions page to post a session to comment on one you'd like to attend. (note, this is completely self-directed, check back frequently for updates)
There is a limited block of rooms reserved for Pause attendees. Please book as soon as you can. Hotel rooms are limited. Tell the hotel you are attending "Pause On Error"
When
January 21-22, 2010
Why
We are, in part, inspired by the various community-driven events such as the Chelsea Hotel Art Fair and DrupalCon. But, above all, we just think it'd be really cool to get together, share our work, get feedback and learn from each other.
How
It is simple...
Confirm that you are coming by registering here: pauseonerror.eventbrite.com We're expecting 100 people and are now a bit over booked. Unfortunately we have to cap it here: the hotel rooms are only so big and we're going to be tight as it is. What to do if you couldn't get in.
If you want to hold a meeting, head over to the scheduleand follow the instructions there (please check back frequently)
If you see a session you'd want to attend, drop a comment on that session page
Who's Coming?
This event is for FileMaker developers & consultant. In-house, no-house, indy or corporate; come with your team, or bring a buddy, or just come alone to hang out.
Just wanted to say that the staff at the hotel are super friendly. I needed help getting my iPod to play on the stereo system in the room and the engineering guy was here in about 60 seconds with a cable and a smile. Good pick on the hotel!
during the testing session, questions came up about methodology and pros and cons, so I just added a session Friday from 1:30 to 2:30 to talk about Methodologies. no agenda, but we can all chit-chat about scrum and SDLC. :-)
I am at Tekserve (23rd Street and Sixth Avenue. Only six blocks from the hotel. ) for another 40 minutes today. I can pick up anything you need if you get back to me in time.
Hi Jesper, very nice of you to write. We'll do our best to make any resources available. This experiment (and I do love your word for it) was precisely that; it has turned out to be more than any of us expected from a somewhat spontaneous effort. But, we are glad you found us. Stay tuned, NYC is just the first chapter of this book.
Greetings from Copenhagen everybody. We're breathlessly watching this exciting experiment. Didn't realize what was going on until yesterday. Tried to find affordable transatlantic tickets, but alas, we have to peep through the holes in the fence. ;-) Wish you all kinds of success on this great initiative. Wish I was there. Enjoy!
Plan to be in full listen mode to all this fascinating information. If anyone does have any security or FileMaker Server questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them.
Hey Anne Verrinder ---One of my all time favorite devcon sessions was a session you did years ago about setting client expectations. You did role play (two hats) where you talked through the dev/client interaction. I'd love to hear you talk more about managing expectations and setting up that client/developer relationship to best manage issues like change orders.
Hey Steven Dolenski--I'd love to hear you talk about fmforums. It's such a great service and I'm wondering what changes you've seen in the people who are using it, traffic, what people are looking for etc. I'm also interested in how more dev/vertical market solutions can use your service to promote/support their products.
Vincenzo, have you looked at the sessions page recently? It's got a good breakdown of the slots now, using a Track A/B/C format to show what's happening simultaneously, and what slots are free.
I know Ernest and everyone else has been working hard on the agenda or calendar ... but would it be possible to get it some kind of calendar view to see the exact slots? visually speaking... thanks
Colin, I took the liberty to put you into the 11:15-12:15 slot on Thursday lest I forget about it later. It sounds like a wonderful topic and I am sure lots of people would be interested. Please feel free to adjust as you see fit. Thanks!
Hi All,
I still need rooms to present in for the "Small Things" presentation on Thursday, and the two brief (15 minute's each) presentations on Friday. Any body have a room I might be able to use? Thanks,
Don
I've added a session idea for Thursday: https://pauseonerror.pbworks.com/Software-Testing . If it's something you'd like to see, leave a comment; otherwise I'm happy just to hear all of you guys talk :)
Glad to help spread the virus.
Ironically, we had a few folks who were looking into hosting a similar day-long session this summer, hosted at a NYC school. Rest assured that your timing's ripe!
Thanks Chuck, looking forward to seeing you there. To be honest, this started out as something fun to do among friends, but I do appreciate your help in getting the word out to folks in the area. It'll be a party!
Nice job! Wished I'd have seen this earlier, we could've announced it at last night's (NYFMP) developers' meeting the SoHo Apple Store. Will post a link on our site. Greg just announced it through our Google Groups list.
Side note: I'm going to take an hour or two on Thursday for a side trip to Chelsea, either around lunch or around 4 PM, if anyone is looking to take a walk (Chelsea's 2 blocks away from the hotel). There are a couple of galleries I want to stop by while I'm in town.
News update: 47 people have registered, that's pretty cool, thanks for spreading the word. We've stayed intentionally word-of-mouth and informal, and its great to see the response nonetheless.
Hey everyone, I have freed up a spot for others to also present on Friday morning from 11 am - 12 pm. At first there were so few sessions that I thought having a 2 hour slot wasn't a big deal now that I see so many people wanting to present, I figured we are all smart people and I think you'll all get it in an hour instead of two :).
I have a loft reserved, if anyone wants to use it whenever, just let me know. I have a couple discussions scheduled, but any other times it's available. I'll have plenty of glassware and drinks. ;)

If anyone is near an Apple store and could grab the following I can re-imburse once here. The only adaptor I do not have for the projector!
