[Beyond the obvious of people doing some kind of coding in a big session]. Does it have a focus, or completely open play etc? Another question to the community, will ApacheCon contain more in the way of Java project talks in the future? I'd always ignored ApacheCon information as in years passed Apache meant httpd to me. Looking at the upcoming one, there seem to be only two talks which would appeal to Jakarta as a community and both are quite vague and Tomcat focused. There are some xml ones which might be of interest to the community. Is this normal for ApacheCon? Or just an oddity. If it is normal, why is it normal? I think the answer to that might be enlightening. > I've been thinking about putting a list of all the top-level projects in > there and detailing who is on the PMC for each, along with the chair.

Knowing the scope/size of the community is a good way to understand the community and become a part of the community. Hen
