The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its official users' conference, ApacheCon US 2008, held 3 November through 7 November, 2008 at the Sheraton New Orleans. ApacheCon serves as a forum for showcasing the ASF's latest developments, including its projects, membership, and communities. 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. The conference program includes competitively selected presentations, trainings/workshops, and a small number of invited speakers. All sessions undergo a peer review process by the ApacheCon Conference Planning team. With the great success of ApacheCon US 2007, we are excited to move to New Orleans in 2008. We're proud to announce that we are going to intensify and deepen the pre-conference trainings by offering 2-day trainings alongside full- and half-day trainings, and each training session will have certifications of completion for those who fulfill all the requirements of the training. 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. Please note you do not need to be committer or project contributor at the ASF to submit a proposal! The unique nature of the Apache community lends itself to creating a conference content that is not only the best of Open Source but cutting edge as well.
