Hi folks,
anyone interested out there? I'm pretty sure that JSPWiki and its future
development are of general interest and having an ApacheCon presentation on
the resume might be of your personal interest ... :-)
Cheers,
Siegfried Goeschl

ApacheCon North America 2010
1-5 November 2010 -- Westin Peachtree in Atlanta
Technical Tracks: Call For Participation
All submissions must be received by Friday, 28 May 2010 at midnight
Pacific Time.
The official conference, trainings, and expo of The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF) returns to Atlanta this November, with dozens of technical,
business, and community-focused sessions at the beginner, intermediate, and
advanced levels.
Over the past decade, the ASF has gone from strength to strength,
developing and shepherding nearly 150 Top-Level Projects and new initiatives
in the Apache Incubator and Labs. This year's ApacheCon celebrates how
Apache technologies have sparked creativity, challenged processes,
streamlined development, improved collaboration, launched businesses,
bolstered economies, and improved lives.
We are proud of our achievements and recognize that the global Apache
community --both developers and users-- are responsible for the success and
popularity of our products.
The ApacheCon Planning Team are soliciting 50-minute technical
presentations for the next conference, which will focus on the theme
“Servers, the Cloud, and Innovation”.
We are particularly interested in highly-relevant, professionally-directed
presentations that demonstrate specific probrlems and real-world solutions.
Part of the technical program has already been planned; we welcome proposals
based on the following Apache Projects and related technical areas:
- Cassandra/NoSQL
- Content Technologies
- (Java) Enterprise Development
- Felix/OSGi
- Geronimo
- Hadoop + friends/Cloud Computing
- Lucene, Mahout + friends/Search
- Tomcat
- Tuscany
Submissions are open to anyone with relevant expertise: ASF affiliation is
not required to present at, attend, or otherwise participate in ApacheCon.
Please keep in mind that whilst we encourage submissions that the
highlight the use of specific Apache solutions, we are unable to accept
marketing/commercially-oriented presentations.
Other proposals, such as panels, or those longer than 50 minutes in
duration have been considered in the past. You are welcome to submit an
alternate presentation, however, such sessions are accepted under
exceptional circumstances. Please be as descriptive as possible, including
names/bios of proposed panelists and any related details.
All accepted speakers (not co-presenters) qualify for general conference
admission and a minimum of two nights lodging at the conference hotel.
Additional hotel nights and travel assistance are possible, depending on the
number of presentations given and type of assistance needed.

apachecon DOT com containing the following information in plaintext (no
attachments, please):
1. Your full name, title, and organization

5. The classification for each presentation (Servers, Cloud, or
Innovation) – some presentations may have more than one theme (e.g., a
next-generation server can be classified both as "Servers" and "Innovation"
6. The intended audience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
7. A 75-200 word overview of your presentation
