Attending ApacheCon North America 2014

[Rob Vesse <rv...@dotnetrdf.org>]

Hi All

For those who aren't already aware ApacheCon North America 2014 is being
held in Denver, Colorado next month from April 7th ­ 9th.  You can find
details of the conference at
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america and a
detailed talk schedule at http://apacheconnorthamerica2014.sched.org

Registration rates go up another $300 from $1099 to $1399 after March 14th
(this Friday) so if you were thinking of attending you should plan on
registering sooner rather than later.  Also the conference rate for the
hotel is only guaranteed until this Friday so you may have to stay elsewhere
or pay a lot more if you haven't registered by the end of the week.  Note
that students are eligible for a discounted registration of $399 and any
Apache committer is eligible for a discounted registration of just $275
right up until the start of the conference.

There are a number of linked data related talks that may be interesting to
people in the Jena and Marmotta communities this year:
* Introducing JDBC for SPARQL -

students)
As well as some other more general talks that have relevance to people in
these communities:
* Get more out of GSoC opportunities: a win-win for both Projects and
Students -

* Your Graph is Showing: The Trend toward Graph Databases -

* Supporting Apache Brands While Making a Profit -
http://apacheconnorthamerica2014.sched.org/event/21f10a498f25455766b23e80970

There are also talks on lots of other Apache projects, in particular if
you're interested in the Hadoop ecosystem then this would be a great
conference to attend.

I will be attending the conference myself (I'm giving the JDBC for SPARQL
talk and the SPARQL Optimization 101 tutorial) and I hope to see some of you
at ApacheCon next month.  If anyone from the Jena community is planning on
being there and would like to meet for lunch/dinner/drinks/etc then please
let me know

Regards,

Rob Vesse
