ApacheCon Europe 2009 - Leading the Wave of Open Source
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
23rd to 27th March, 2009
Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon Europe 2009
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its official conference, ApacheCon Europe 2009. To be held 23rd to 27th March, 2009 at the Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, ApacheCon serves as a forum for showcasing the ASF's latest developments, including its projects, membership, and community. ApacheCon offers unparalleled educational opportunities, with dedicated presentations, hands-on trainings, and sessions that address core technology, development, business/marketing, and licensing issues in Open Source.
ApacheCon's wide range of activities are designed to promote the exchange of ideas amongst ASF Members, innovators, developers, vendors, and users interested in the future of Open Source technology. The conference program includes competitively selected presentations, trainings/workshops, and a small number of invited speakers. All sessions undergo a peer review process by the ApacheCon Conference Planning team. The following information provides presentation category descriptions, and information about how to submit your
proposal.
Conference Themes and Topics
APACHECON 2009 - LEADING THE WAVE OF OPEN SOURCE
Building on the success of the last two years, we are excited to return to Amsterdam in 2009. We'll be continuing to offer our very popular two-day trainings, including certifications of completion for those who fulfill all the requirements of these trainings.
The ASF comprises some of the most active and recognized developers in the Open Source community. By bringing together the pioneers, developers, and users of flagship Open Source technologies, ApacheCon provides an influential platform for dialogue, between the speaker and the audience, between project contributors and the community at large, traversing a wide range of ideas, expertise, and personalities.
ApacheCon welcomes submissions from like-minded delegates across many fields, geographic locations, and areas of development. The breadth and loosely-structured nature of the Apache community lends itself to conference content that is also somewhat loosely-structured. Common themes of interest address groundbreaking technologies and emerging trends, successful practices (from development to deployment), and lessons learned (tips, tools, and tricks). In addition to technical content, ApacheCon invites Business Track submissions that address Open Source business, marketing, and legal/licensing issues.
Topics appropriate for submission to this conference are manifold, and may include but are not restricted to:
- Apache HTTP server topics such as installation, configuration, and migration
- ASF-wide projects such as Lucene, SpamAssassin, Jackrabbit, and Maven
- Scripting languages and dynamic content such as Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, XSL, and PHP
- Security and e-commerce
- Performance tuning, load balancing and high availability
- New technologies and broader initiatives such as Web Services and Web 2.0
- ASF-Incubated projects such as Sling, UIMA, and Shindig

Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon Europe 2009
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its
official conference, ApacheCon Europe 2009. To be held 23rd to 27th
March, 2009 at the Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, ApacheCon
serves as a forum for showcasing the ASF's latest developments,
including its projects, membership, and community. ApacheCon offers
unparalleled educational opportunities, with dedicated presentations,
hands-on trainings, and sessions that address core technology,
development, business/marketing, and licensing issues in Open Source.
ApacheCon's wide range of activities are designed to promote the
exchange of ideas amongst ASF Members, innovators, developers,
vendors, and users interested in the future of Open Source technology.
The conference program includes competitively selected presentations,
trainings/workshops, and a small number of invited speakers. All
sessions undergo a peer review process by the ApacheCon Conference
Planning team. The following information provides presentation
category descriptions, and information about how to submit your
proposal.
Conference Themes and Topics
APACHECON 2009 - LEADING THE WAVE OF OPEN SOURCE
Building on the success of the last two years, we are excited to
return to Amsterdam in 2009. We'll be continuing to offer our very
popular two-day trainings, including certifications of completion for
those who fulfill all the requirements of these trainings.
The ASF comprises some of the most active and recognized developers
in the Open Source community. By bringing together the pioneers,
developers, and users of flagship Open Source technologies, ApacheCon
provides an influential platform for dialogue, between the speaker and
the audience, between project contributors and the community at large,
traversing a wide range of ideas, expertise, and personalities.
ApacheCon welcomes submissions from like-minded delegates across many
fields, geographic locations, and areas of development. The breadth
and loosely-structured nature of the Apache community lends itself to
conference content that is also somewhat loosely-structured. Common
themes of interest address groundbreaking technologies and emerging
trends, successful practices (from development to deployment), and
lessons learned (tips, tools, and tricks). In addition to technical
content, ApacheCon invites Business Track submissions that address
Open Source business, marketing, and legal/licensing issues.
Topics appropriate for submission to this conference are manifold,
and may include but are not restricted to:
- Apache HTTP server topics such as installation, configuration, and migration
- ASF-wide projects such as Lucene, SpamAssassin, Jackrabbit, and Maven
- Scripting languages and dynamic content such as Java, Perl, Python,
Ruby, XSL, and PHP
- Security and e-commerce
- Performance tuning, load balancing and high availability
- New technologies and broader initiatives such as Web Services and Web 2.0
- ASF-Incubated projects such as Sling, UIMA, and Shindig

delegates.
Case Study/Industry Profile

ApacheCon Europe 2009 - Leading the Wave of Open Source
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
23rd to 27th March, 2009
Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon Europe 2009
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its official
conference, ApacheCon Europe 2009. To be held 23rd to 27th March, 2009 at
the Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, ApacheCon serves as a forum for
showcasing the ASF's latest developments, including its projects,
membership, and community. ApacheCon offers unparalleled educational
opportunities, with dedicated presentations, hands-on trainings, and
sessions that address core technology, development, business/marketing, and
licensing issues in Open Source.
ApacheCon's wide range of activities are designed to promote the exchange of
ideas amongst ASF Members, innovators, developers, vendors, and users
interested in the future of Open Source technology. The conference program
includes competitively selected presentations, trainings/workshops, and a
small number of invited speakers. All sessions undergo a peer review process
by the ApacheCon Conference Planning team. The following information

Conference Themes and Topics
APACHECON 2009 - LEADING THE WAVE OF OPEN SOURCE
Building on the success of the last two years, we are excited to return to
Amsterdam in 2009. We'll be continuing to offer our very popular two-day
trainings, including certifications of completion for those who fulfill all
the requirements of these trainings.
The ASF comprises some of the most active and recognized developers in the
Open Source community. By bringing together the pioneers, developers, and
users of flagship Open Source technologies, ApacheCon provides an
influential platform for dialogue, between the speaker and the audience,
between project contributors and the community at large, traversing a wide
range of ideas, expertise, and personalities.
ApacheCon welcomes submissions from like-minded delegates across many
fields, geographic locations, and areas of development. The breadth and
loosely-structured nature of the Apache community lends itself to conference
content that is also somewhat loosely-structured. Common themes of interest
address groundbreaking technologies and emerging trends, successful
practices (from development to deployment), and lessons learned (tips,
tools, and tricks). In addition to technical content, ApacheCon invites
Business Track submissions that address Open Source business, marketing, and
legal/licensing issues.
Topics appropriate for submission to this conference are manifold, and may
include but are not restricted to:
- Apache HTTP server topics such as installation, configuration, and
migration
- ASF-wide projects such as Lucene, SpamAssassin, Jackrabbit, and Maven
- Scripting languages and dynamic content such as Java, Perl, Python, Ruby,
XSL, and PHP
- Security and e-commerce
- Performance tuning, load balancing and high availability
- New technologies and broader initiatives such as Web Services and Web 2.0
- ASF-Incubated projects such as Sling, UIMA, and Shindig
Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include
- Title
- Speaker name, with affiliation and email address
- Speaker bio (100 words or less)
- Short description (50 words or less)
- Full description including abstract and objectives (200 words or
less)

implementing particular ASF technologies led to improved products/solutions,
service offerings, changes in work practices, among other successes.
Proposals that highlight overcoming interesting challenges in application
design and developing innovative frameworks using multiple ASF projects are
particularly encouraged. NOTE: Marketing-oriented submissions aimed at
promoting specific organizations or products will not be accepted.
