[ANNOUNCE] Apache Xerces2 Workshop

[Andy Clark <andy@cyberneko.net>]

IBM will host a full-day workshop on the Apache Xerces2 XML
parser to be held on the Monday following JavaOne. The goal 
of the workshop is to educate open source developers on the 
design and implementation of Xerces2; resolve design issues; 
and have open discussions about the future direction of the
project.

The workshop is open to all open-source developers that are 
interested in contributing to the Xerces2 project in the 
areas of implementation, samples, build/test, documentation, 
and/or administration. However, space is limited to 30 people
so please be sure that 1) you are able to attend on the
specified day, and 2) that you are *really* serious about
helping with the project before signing up for workshop.

If you are interested in the workshop and want to attend, 
please RSVP to me directly. The specific details are below:
