Announcing BarCampApache Sydney, Australia

The Apache Software Foundation is happy to announce BarCampApache Sydney, Australia, the first ASF-backed event in the Southern Hemisphere!

Taking place 11th December 2010 at the University of Sydney's Darlington Centre, the BarCampApache "unconference" will be attendee-driven, facilitated by members of the Apache community and will focus on the "Apache Way" of developing software. The event is open to the public free of charge.

Those interested in using Apache products, how projects are developed within the ASF, open development techniques and best practices, Web 2.0-style data mashups, engaging with The Apache Software Foundation, and the general BarCamp experience are welcome to participate.

As the Apache community comprises thousands of committed individuals from around the world, there are always opportunities for attendees to help. And with all BarCamps, BarCampApache Sydney seeks active participation at all levels, including assisting with the physical set up to pre-event promotion to proposing discussion topics and blogging/tweeting during the event.

BarCampApache Sydney sponsors include the University of Sydney, Alfresco, IBM, and MaestroDev. Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, contact Brett Porter at brett AT apache DOT org, or Nick Burch at nick AT apache DOT org.
