I played dual roles for Gathering Our Voices 2014. One role was with the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, and the other was with Science Venture. The purpose of these conferences is to unite youth from throughout the country in learning, healing and sharing and to provide tangible experiences of tools, resources and knowledge that the youth can bring back to their communities. The conference had 1800 delegates and over 2000 participants.

One of my projects is a MongoDB API Adapter in Node.js and I was pleased by a novel way of handling control flow. async.auto() is a function offered by the libary which allows you to declare a set of tasks and their dependencies, then the library determines the best way to compose the initialization.

Immutant is suite of Clojure libraries that is part of the JBossAS/Wildfly ecosystem. Great, fantastic! Clojure is a lisp that runs on the JVM, the CLR, and compiles to Javascript. Lets get started! Some links we'll need: - Immutant - The framework. - Clojure - The language. - Leiningen - The package manager.

## Problem You need a base image of Arch Linux that you're sure is a-okay.

Currently, the tutorial on deploying to Wildfly with Immutant 2 is not written. Furthermore,the JBoss documentation isn't particularly tailored towards Clojure applications. So, let's take a look at how to do this using the convenient dockerfiles provided by the JBoss project. We'll use Docker to simplify deployment and setup of Wildfly, but instructions for a non-docker application should be similar. ### Create a basic Immutant application. Starting from a lein new app learning command, set up your project like so:
