Just wanted to flag that I will now be at the navigation as I've been roped into speaking at Gotocon - looking forward to seeing you all.

We'll be hosting an Apache track at GotoCon on Friday 14th, and then a Hackathon + BarCamp on Saturday 15th.

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!

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!
