Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon Europe 2009

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its official
conference, ApacheCon Europe 2009. To be held 23rd to 27th March, 2009 at
the M=F6venpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, ApacheCon serves as a forum fo=
r
showcasing the ASF's latest developments, including its projects,
membership, and community. ApacheCon offers unparalleled educational
opportunities, with dedicated presentations, hands-on trainings, and
sessions that address core technology, development, business/marketing, and
licensing issues in Open Source.

ApacheCon's wide range of activities are designed to promote the exchange o=
f

interested in the future of Open Source technology. The conference program
includes competitively selected presentations, trainings/workshops, and a

Conference Themes and Topics

APACHECON 2009 - LEADING THE WAVE OF OPEN SOURCE

Building on the success of the last two years, we are excited to return to
Amsterdam in 2009. We'll be continuing to offer our very popular two-day
trainings, including certifications of completion for those who fulfill all
the requirements of these trainings.

The ASF comprises some of the most active and recognized developers in the
Open Source community. By bringing together the pioneers, developers, and
users of flagship Open Source technologies, ApacheCon provides an
influential platform for dialogue, between the speaker and the audience,
between project contributors and the community at large, traversing a wide
range of ideas, expertise, and personalities.

ApacheCon welcomes submissions from like-minded delegates across many
fields, geographic locations, and areas of development. The breadth and
loosely-structured nature of the Apache community lends itself to conferenc=
e
content that is also somewhat loosely-structured. Common themes of interest
address groundbreaking technologies and emerging trends, successful
practices (from development to deployment), and lessons learned (tips,
tools, and tricks). In addition to technical content, ApacheCon invites
Business Track submissions that address Open Source business, marketing, an=
d
legal/licensing issues.

Topics appropriate for submission to this conference are manifold, and may
include but are not restricted to:

- Apache HTTP server topics such as installation, configuration, and
migration
- ASF-wide projects such as Lucene, SpamAssassin, Jackrabbit, and Maven
- Scripting languages and dynamic content such as Java, Perl, Python, Ruby,
XSL, and PHP
- Security and e-commerce
- Performance tuning, load balancing and high availability
- New technologies and broader initiatives such as Web Services and Web 2.0
- ASF-Incubated projects such as Sling, UIMA, and Shindig
