We'll be hosting an Apache track at GotoCon on Friday 14th, and then a Hackathon + BarCamp on Saturday 15th. Whether you want to talk, hack or learn, there's hopefully something there for everyone! If you might be interested in presenting, we're holding a CFP for the track. Be quick though, it's only going to be open for one week, so get your submissions in by this coming Sunday! GotoCon is aimed at developers, but not necessarily current Apache users, so it's a slightly different (more outreach) audience to our own ApacheCons. As we've only got the one track (plus hopefully a bit of the search track too...), we're ideally looking for talks that'll cover several projects. That could be how to combine several Apache projects to solve a problem, giving an overview of several projects in the same space, or just explaining how we work to an interested audience. Sucessful speakers will get a pass to the two days of the conference, hotel and a contribution towards travel, so get thinking about your talk! Submissions should be made at https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE9UbjZldDREWVAyRk1saEMtbWM1d0E6MQ Whether you're someone who likes presenting or not, we'd love for as many people as possible to join us on the Saturday. Hippo have kindly agreed to give us some space, so we're going to be hosting a hackathon and BarCamp. Depending on numbers, and especially on the number of people willing to help, we may open the BarCamp up to everyone, or just keep it for committers and potential future committers. Either way, it'll be a great chance to meet with other Apache folks, learn about new projects, find out more about how Apache works, hack on some code or share your ideas! If you'd like to come, please sign up on the wiki, and indicate your interests and if you might be able to help with organising if we open things up for a public BarCampApacheAmsterdam!
