It’s hard to believe that this year’s Code Generation conference is happening next week. We’ve been working on the event for over a year now and it’s taken lots of people to bring the event together but we’re almost there.

Peter Bell and Andrew Watson have been busy recruiting an excellent set of panellists for the respective  panel sessions:  The State of the Art in Domain Specific Modeling & Migrating to Model-Driven Development. If you have any questions you want to be asked then you can either save them for the panels or let us know in advance and we’ll pass them on.

Andrew’s panel will run on the first day and we’ll hear from Kathleen Dollard (AppVenture),  Richard Hensman (SciSys UK), Steven Kelly (MetaCase) & Chris Raistrick (Kennedy Carter).

Peter’s panel will close the conference and panellists will be Steve Cook (Microsoft),  Juha-Pekka Tolvanen (MetaCase),  Jos Warmer (Ordina) & Markus Völter (Independent / itemis).

We’re aiming to audio-record both panels for later upload to the Model-Driven Software Network.

We’re also starting to get a few BoF and Lightning talk proposals. Hopefully the BoF organisers will collect some material and write it up for later publication. My plan is to run the best lightning talks again, if the speakers are willing, at an online meet-up of the Model-Driven Software Network.

More on the conference soon…
