---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nick Burch <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 11:19 PM Subject: Apache Knockree Retreat 2011 - May 13-16 To: [email protected] Hi All ConCom are pleased to announce our second Apache Retreat in Knockree (Ireland) will be on Friday 13th - Monday 16th May For those who haven't been to an Apache Retreat before, they're a weekend long event when Apache committers and community members get together to hack on code, attend un-conference sessions, put faces to names and generally have a fun time. As with previous retreats, we'll be running a BarCamp unconference in the day, and a few projects will also be hosting hackathons. The event is open to everyone from all projects, so do come along if you can! For more information on the event, including what's likely to happen, what the venue is like, and how to sign up, please see the event site: https://sites.google.com/site/apacheretreatknockree/ (It's also all linked from the ApacheCon wiki) If financial concerns are putting anyone off attending, then the good news is that the Travel Assistance Committee are supporting the event. Please visit http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html for more information, and to apply - the deadline is Saturday 12th March so don't delay! Otherwise, we're looking forward to seeing you in Ireland in May! Your Apache Retreat planning team PS If Knockree is too far away for you to make, and you'd like an event near you, there's some good and bad news. The bad news is that concom can neither wave a wand and give you a pony, nor magic an event into happening in your town... However, if you can get a few volunteers together, then the good news is that concom has mentors available and advice to help you run a similar event! Drop an email to [email protected] if you're interested in helping run an Apache event near you, and we'll do our best to help you to make it happen -- Thanks - Mohammad Nour Author of (WebSphere Application Server Community Edition 2.0 User Guide) http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247585.html - LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mnour - Blog: http://tadabborat.blogspot.com ---- "Life is like riding a bicycle.
