Hi folks,
quite frankly I would love to give a presentation at ApacheCon but it
should be something that
+) is of general interest
+) and I have good knowledge about
+) and I also should actively contribute to the topic
which rules out pretty much everything ... :-)
Having said that I would like to pick up Rahoul's idea of doing a joint
presentation of Apache Commons (Rahoul organized a small scale one for
ApacheCon Europe 2007)
"Would it be a good idea to organize a Apache Commons track covering 2-3
regular speaking slots where we can present various Apache Commons
components?"
The point is that a Commons component presentation is probably be
smaller than a regular speaking slot but we have interesting stuff.
Feedback appreciated,
Siegfried Goeschl

ApacheCon North America 2010
1-5 November 2010 -- Westin Peachtree in Atlanta
Technical Tracks: Call For Participation
All submissions must be received by Friday, 28 May 2010 at midnight Pacific
Time.
The official conference, trainings, and expo of The Apache Software Foundation
(ASF) returns to Atlanta this November, with dozens of technical, business, and
community-focused sessions at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
Over the past decade, the ASF has gone from strength to strength, developing
and shepherding nearly 150 Top-Level Projects and new initiatives in the Apache
Incubator and Labs. This year's ApacheCon celebrates how Apache technologies
have sparked creativity, challenged processes, streamlined development,
improved collaboration, launched businesses, bolstered economies, and improved
lives.
We are proud of our achievements and recognize that the global Apache community
--both developers and users-- are responsible for the success and popularity of
our products.
The ApacheCon Planning Team are soliciting 50-minute technical presentations
for the next conference, which will focus on the theme “Servers, the Cloud, and
Innovation”.
We are particularly interested in highly-relevant, professionally-directed
presentations that demonstrate specific probrlems and real-world solutions.
Part of the technical program has already been planned; we welcome proposals
based on the following Apache Projects and related technical areas:
- Cassandra/NoSQL
- Content Technologies
- (Java) Enterprise Development
- Felix/OSGi
- Geronimo
- Hadoop + friends/Cloud Computing
- Lucene, Mahout + friends/Search
- Tomcat
- Tuscany
Submissions are open to anyone with relevant expertise: ASF affiliation is not
required to present at, attend, or otherwise participate in ApacheCon.
Please keep in mind that whilst we encourage submissions that the highlight the
use of specific Apache solutions, we are unable to accept
marketing/commercially-oriented presentations.
Other proposals, such as panels, or those longer than 50 minutes in duration
have been considered in the past. You are welcome to submit an alternate
presentation, however, such sessions are accepted under exceptional
circumstances. Please be as descriptive as possible, including names/bios of
proposed panelists and any related details.
All accepted speakers (not co-presenters) qualify for general conference
admission and a minimum of two nights lodging at the conference hotel.
Additional hotel nights and travel assistance are possible, depending on the
number of presentations given and type of assistance needed.
To submit a presentation proposal, please send an email to submissions AT
apachecon DOT com containing the following information in plaintext (no
attachments, please):
1. Your full name, title, and organization

4. The technical category of the intended presentation (Cassandra/NoSQL;
Content Technologies; (Java) Enterprise Development; Felix/OSGi; Geronimo;
Hadoop + friends/Cloud Computing; Lucene, Mahout + friends/Search; Tomcat; or
Tuscany)
5. The classification for each presentation (Servers, Cloud, or Innovation) – some presentations
may have more than one theme (e.g., a next-generation server can be classified both as
"Servers" and "Innovation"
6. The intended audience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
7. A 75-200 word overview of your presentation
