[Announce] Xerces People Presenting at ApacheCon!

[Andy Clark <an...@apache.org>]

Everyone,

If you happen to be attending this year's ApacheCon
in Las Vegas next week, please be sure to attend the
presentations by some of our Xerces developers! It's
a great chance to learn more about the Xerces parser
and to meet some of the people that have been
instrumental in bringing this great technology to
the world. :)

Ted Leung was a full-time member of the Xerces team
until he decided to move to Seattle, never to see the
sun again. ;) When everyone else cringed at the thought
of implementing XML Schema -- myself included! -- Ted
stepped up and was responsible for keeping Xerces up
to date during the volatile recommendation process. He
was even team lead for awhile.

He's a great guy and really knows his stuff. Check
out his following two presentations:

* Everything you always wanted to know about XML parsing
* XML at the ASF: The XML, WS, and Cocoon projects

Elena Litani, as if you didn't already know, is the
lead for the IBM team in Toronto, Canada responsible
for most of the Xerces-J work happening today. She's
very smart and is extremely dedicated to the Xerces
project at Apache.

Don't pass up the opportunity to meet her when she
presents:

* Apache XML Parser: Xerces2 and Xerces C++

If you run into Ted or Elena at the show, please be
sure to say "Hi!" and let them know how much you
appreciate their effort.

                         * * *

In addition to the Xerces people presenting at
ApacheCon, I have a few more friends that are giving
talks so here's a plug for them as well! :)

Doug Tidwell, the author of O'Reilly's book on XSLT
*and* Programming Web Services with SOAP, is
presenting:

* Building a Web service from SOAP to Nuts
* Generating beautiful PDF files with FOP
* Mangling data with XSLT

Mark Womack is presenting:

* What is new in log4j version 1.3?

Check 'em out!
