Don't forget there's also the Hackathon on the 10th and 11th -
committers are welcome to invite anyone they want to it. And it isn't
just about writing code.
Cheers,
Ben.

I'll be at ApacheCon, and I very much look forward to meeting you all.
The PRC will be hosting a BoF around Open Source Marketing & How the PMCs
can leverage us. (It needs a better title!)

Lots of socializing in a less crowded atmosphere than the conference
proper. Lots of idea trampolining. Lots of exposure to what other
projects are doing and cross-fertilization. Lots of recruiting to
come help on those interesting projects =)
Hackathons have been the most fun part, imho, of the ApacheCons I
have been to.
