The ApacheCon Europe Planning team today announced the program, speaker
lineup, and sponsors for ApacheCon, the official conference of The
Apache Software Foundation.
ApacheCon returns to Europe 5-8
November 2012 at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena in Sinsheim, Germany, attracting
Open Source users, developers, gurus, students, novices, and
enthusiasts to the newly-introduced "Community Edition" of ApacheCon --a
smaller, less formal event aimed at a more technically-oriented
audience, and featuring an array of sessions focused on Apache projects
and initiatives, plus MeetUps, FastFeather and Community Tracks,
Hackathon, and BarCamp. This is an ideal opportunity for technologists
currently developing Apache-based solutions, as well as those interested
in committing code to an Apache project, contributing to the Apache
Incubator, or enhancing their Open Source products and community
practices.
ApacheCon Europe Community Edition is organized and
run by the Apache community; all content for ApacheCon has been selected
by Apache Project Management Committees. 13 tracks explore key Open
Source applications and issues, from Big Data and Smart Search to Cloud
and Infrastructure, and include:

frameworks, and components used on a daily basis, such as Apache
Logging, Apache Maven, Apache Ant, Apache Buildr, Apache Commons, and
more.
