Today we’re excited to announce the program <http://mesoscon14.sched.org/>
for #MesosCon <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon> 2014, the
first ever conference dedicated to the Mesos ecosystem. It will take place
in Chicago August 21-22, 2014, and be co-located with LinuxCon
<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-america> 2014.

MesosCon welcomes attendees who are advanced users, along with those that
are new to the project. There will be time to socialize, share and learn
from adopters to core committers. The first day will begin with an
introductory Mesos 101 workshop and keynote presentations from Mesos PMC
lead Benjamin Hindman (Twitter) and John Wilkes (Google). Day one will
include single track talks featuring:

   -

   Mesos frameworks
   <http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/mesos-frameworks/>:
   including Apache Aurora <http://aurora.incubator.apache.org/>, Marathon
   <https://github.com/mesosphere/marathon>, Spark
   <https://github.com/apache/spark>, and a stream processing framework
   developed by Netflix.
   -

   An operations perspective on Mesos: including talks on the challenges of
   running an elastic cluster, and using Docker <http://www.docker.io/>
   with Mesos.
   -

   Presentations from companies who use Mesos in production: including
   eBay, HubSpot, Airbnb and Shopify. These presenters will also participate
   in a panel discussion.

The final day will include a Mesos hackathon, generously sponsored by
Atlassian. In advance of the hackathon, the community will seed ideas for
specific features and projects to work on the community mailing list
<http://www.mail-archive.com/user@mesos.apache.org/>.
