I just wanted to let you know about a ConCom approved event in London,
UK this month. There will be an Apache Way talk and a few ASF projects
will be there. Maybe your projects should be too?
As you may already have seen the London Java Community (LJC) are
running their June Unconference is association with the ASF. The LJC
represent about 1000 Java developers from the London (UK) area, LJC
members have various levels of understanding of open source and recent
LJC events suggest that they are keen to learn more.
Apache is such a major player in the open source world but (incredible
though it may seem) some people in the Java world still equate Apache
with the http server project and have no understanding of the breadth,
scope and culture of the ASF. In suggesting the unconference
partnership the organisers goal is provide Apache committers with a
platform and a different audience to the ones that already attend
things like ApacheCon and to provide LJC members with an opportunity
to gain a much broader understanding of the ASF.
The unconference organisers would be delighted to welcome anyone who
can talk about any aspect of the ASF on June the 26th The sign up
details are here:
