Apologies for the broadcast message...

In thinking about ApacheCon 2010, I began to wonder if there is interest =
in creating an "Enterprise Java" track for the conference. I think there =
is the potential for a lot of interesting content. Many of our projects =
are busy implementing JSR specs for Java EE6. Also, the OSGi Alliance =
EEG has created several EE-focuse specifications with more on the way. =
I'm sure each of our projects have a number of internal developments =
which we're also interested in sharing.

I'm guessing that some of our projects have already initiated their own =
track programs. Which I think is fine. I don't think it's a conflict to =
have technology specific tracks. However, if you're interested in =
joining forces, let me know. I think it would help foster greater =
interactions between our projects and also result in a very interesting =
conference track. =20

To help to start aggregating potential presentations, I've created a =
Wiki page -- =
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxPMGT/ApacheCon+NA+2010+--+E=
nterprise+Java+Track

At this point, we do not need to identify specific presentations. But we =
do need to insure that there is sufficient interest.

If I've left out any projects who you think might be interested in =
participating, please feel free to pass this along...
