Drupacity

drupa 2004 has also been tagged as the "JDF drupa." The CIP4 Organization, responsible for JDF development, has constructed a JDF program for drupa 2004, with the help of Messe Düsseldorf.

As attendees arrive at the JDF Parc, they will receive a "job ticket"—a card with its own unique identification number. They then proceed to any initiation post to begin their "job." The ID number will be used to follow the job from one station to the next, where the job will receive a punch. The cards are designed to hold 10-12 punches. Once the attendees have completed their "job," they are entered into a raffle for prizes, which will be drawn at the conclusion of drupa. Twenty-three companies, including innovators of JDF-enabled products, have already applied for one of the 18 pods available at the JDF Parc. This new JDF program is sure to be a favorite among drupa attendees.
