As was suggested by Eric Evans and discussed briefly by the attendees at the close of the January meeting, this next meeting will be a group working session where attendees will collaborate to improve the content on the existing Domain-Driven Design Wikipedia entry. It should also be an excellent opportunity for us to refresh what we know about DDD.

After working together to decide on an overall outline for the content for the entry, we will break into smaller topic-focused working groups to assemble and organize relevant content from various existing sources and use that to draft updated text and diagrams for the Wikipedia entry.

Since this will be an interactive working session, it would help if as many attendees as possible try to bring one or more of the following items to this meeting:

a laptop computer with word processor software installed (since we will be drafting plain ASCII text to eventually post to Wikipedia, the specific word processor software you have shouldn't really matter)
a downloaded copy of the Domain Driven Design Quickly booklet for reference
a downloaded copy of the DDD Patterns Summary (Creative Commons content) Word Document to use as source material for the Wikipedia entry
a copy of the Domain Driven Design book by Eric Evans (if you already own a copy and have it handy) for reference

Its assumed that not all attendees will be able to bring all of the above items, but since we will breaking into multiple smaller working groups during the meeting, its expected that there will be enough of the above items for each smaller group to have at least one of each of the above-listed items. Attendees are encouraged to bring as many of the above items as you can so there are enough to go around during the session.

We look forward to seeing you all there; this should be a really interesting exercise with an opportunity to provide some valuable benefit to the DDD community at-large!

PS: Don't forget to bring a photo ID to get access to our meeting location, at LiquidNet's office.
