ben laurie should answer this one, but i think he's semi-offline the hackathon is two days of committers and invited contributors getting face-time to network and hack on whatever they want, in a single room with network access. (in london there were forty of us and the network access was a single 56kbd dialup line, which was amazing.) > Another question to the community, will ApacheCon contain more in the way > of Java project talks in the future?
