Wakefield, MA —4 March 2019— ApacheCon, the official conference series of The
Apache Software Foundation (ASF), announced today the Apache Roadshow/DC, held
in partnership with George Mason University (GMU).
WHO
The Apache Software Foundation is the world's largest Open Source foundation.
The all-volunteer ASF develops, stewards, and incubates more than 350
enterprise-grade projects that serve as the backbone for some of the most
visible and widely used applications in computing today. From artificial
intelligence and deep learning, Big Data, build management, Cloud computing,
content management, DevOps, IoT and Edge computing, mobile, servers, Web
frameworks, and many other categories, all Apache software products are
available to the public-at-large at 100% no cost, and benefit billions of users
around the world.
George Mason University, Virginia’s largest and most diverse public research
university, enrolls 37,000 students from 130 countries and all 50 states, who
attend on campuses in Fairfax, Arlington, Manassas, and Loudoun, Virginia, as
well as in Songdo, South Korea.
The Apache Roadshow is held in cooperation with the Center for Assurance
Research & Engineering (CARE) of the Volgenau School of Engineering at George
Mason University. The multidisciplinary school maintains a dual pre-eminence in
both information technology and engineering, and seeks to graduate students who
will take initiative, step up, and leave the planet better than they found it.
WHAT
Apache Roadshows are part of the official ASF conference series: they are
smaller events with a more focused program and regional community engagement.
The DC Roadshow program features two dozen presentations on Apache projects
across the following tracks: government, cybersecurity, CARE projects, and
career development, in tandem with one of the first Open Source Software job
fairs.
Topics include The Apache Way, analytics, Big Data, Cloud, cybersecurity,
governance, healthcare, machine learning and natural language processing (NLP),
and security, featuring Apache projects such as Airflow, Cassandra, cTAKES,
Daffodil (incubating), Drill, Fortress, Hadoop, Ignite, NiFi, Rya, Tomcat, and
more.
Speakers include representatives from The Apache Software Foundation, Apifocal,
Benefits Data Trust, BMC Software, Capital One, Cloudera, ConSensys, DataNexus,
Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, Fannie Mae, George Mason University, GridGain, IEEE,
MITRE, Symas, Thomson Reuters, Total Child Health, Tresys, US Naval Academy,
