Community Over Code Conference, October 2026, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Hey, everyone!

I'm posting this super early because, honestly, it's been 12 days since 
anyone posted anything on users@ and I keep checking lists.a.o to see if 
it's a ME-problem or if everyone is just taking the second half of April 
off. I guess everyone is just asleep.

The Community Over Code Conference will be held in Glasgow in October, 
and I would encourage everyone to come, especially if you've never been 
to an ApacheC.. er, Community Over Code in the past, or if you live 
nearby, or, I guess, if the conference tracks sound interesting, I guess. :)

The conference schedule isn't posted yet -- we are putting the last 
touches on the tracks and talks -- but it's never too early to ask your 
employer to sponsor your travel.

The site has the details of when and where. The "what" will be largely 
filled-in later, but you can see "past sessions" for a taste of what you 
can expect at one of these conferences.

I know that I'll be there along with a bunch of the committers who post 
regularly on the Tomcat mailing lists. We typically host a "BoF" (Birds 
of a Feather) session one evening where we get together to talk to the 
community about their wants, desires, and, usually, drink preferences.

Remember, if you live on the US West coast that even though the time 
change is a brutal 8 hours, at least the flight goes right over the 
north pole so it's not so bad. :)

I'll reply again as soon as the tracks and sessions have posted.

I hope to see you all there,
