Jena user conference and / or advanced training with ability to discuss applications

[Niels Andersen <ni...@thinkiq.com>]

Hi Jena user group,

Are there any Jena user conferences scheduled? We are also interested in attending advanced training session where we could discuss specific application needs, architectures and best practices.

I have looked at https://blogs.apache.org/conferences/ , but cannot find anything specific about Jena that is recent.

We would be also be interested if we can meet people in Orange County / Southern California to share experiences and discuss.

Thanks in advance,
Niels

Generally speaking the community is not large enough to support a dedicated event. In the past ourselves and other semantics related project at Apache have worked together to produce a semantics track at an Apache conference.  However this has typically only happened at European based conferences due to the bulk of such projects committer bases being based in Europe.

The project does have some committers based within the US but most of those people are on the east coast I believe. Several people do/have worked for companies that offer training in semantic technologies though not necessarily specifically upon Jena itself.  TopQuadrant and Epimorphics are two such  example companies.
