Hi everyone, since 2009 there was no ApacheCon in Europe and as far as I could investigate there is no current plan for a new ApacheCon Europe.
Due to the there was no public event for "users" and "developers" of Apache Sling, Felix and JCR (and therefore CQ5 developers as well) in Europe to get in touch and discuss their problems, needs and plans for the future. Since I had the pleasure to meet some people of the Day/Adobe Staff being Sling/Felix/JCR contributors at some events (like Day Ignite or at a customer) I got the feeling there would be the need of some more face-to-face interaction of the mentioned groups (devs + users): Since I (and most of my collegues) am located in Berlin, I'm willing to organise a meetup which could be a plattform for such discussions. I'm currently a bit uncertain about who would be interested in such a Meetup, so this is the first mail to get some feedback about the timeframe (had one up to three days in mind), the amount of people and the style (free barcamp, planned talks, "hackaton" or what else comes in your mind). As first idea for a date I'd propose september, which would give us enough time to organise things (location, accommodations etc.), have a good chance to get a "free" timeframe for all the interested and collect ideas and problems to discuss. I'd be glad to get some generall feedback on this topic. Best regards, Dominik
