ApacheCon Celebrates the ASF's 10th Anniversary in Oakland, California,
2-6 November 2009

Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon US 2009

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its official
user and developer conference, taking place 2-6 November 2009 at the =20
Oakland
Convention Center and Marriott Hotel. ApacheCon serves as a forum for
showcasing the ASF's latest projects, members, and community =20
initiatives.
Offering unparalleled educational opportunities, ApacheCon's =20
presentations,
hands-on trainings, and sessions address key technology, development,
business/community, and licensing issues in Open Source.

The wide range of activities offered at ApacheCon promotes the =20
exchange of
ideas amongst ASF Members, committers, innovators, developers, =20
vendors, and
users interested in the future of Open Source technology. The conference
program includes peer-reviewed sessions, trainings/workshops, and select
invited keynote presentations and speakers.

Conference Themes and Topics

Building on ten years of success, ApacheCon returns to the Bay Area =20
for the
10th anniversary of the Apache Software Foundation. Comprising some of =20=

the
most active and recognized developers in the Open Source community,
ApacheCon provides an influential platform for dialogue between Open =20
Source
developers and users, traversing a wide range of ideas, expertise, and
personalities.

ApacheCon welcomes submissions across many fields, geographic =20
locations, and
areas of development. The breadth of the Apache community lends itself =20=

to
conference content that is somewhat loosely-structured, with common =20
themes
of interest addressing groundbreaking technologies and emerging =20
trends, best
practices (from development to deployment), case studies and lessons =20
learned
(tips, tools, and tricks). In addition, ApacheCon will continue to =20
offer its
highly popular, two-day intensive trainings; certifications of =20
completion
will be distributed to those who fulfill all the training requirements.

Topics appropriate for submission are manifold, and may include but =20
are not
restricted to: Apache HTTP server (installation, configuration, =20
migration,
and more); ASF-wide projects (including Lucene, Hadoop, Jackrabbit, and
Maven); Scripting languages and dynamic content (such as Java, Perl, =20
Python,
Ruby, XSL, and PHP); Security and e-commerce (performance tuning, load
balancing and high availability); New technologies (including broader
initiatives such as Web Services and Web 2.0); ASF-Incubated projects =20=

(such
as Sling, UIMA, and Shindig); and Business/Community issues (Open Source
driven business models, open development, enterprise adoption, and =20
more).

hours),
or two-day (12 hours) training sessions. These proposed tutorials =20
should be
aimed at providing in-depth, hands-on development experience or related
continuing education. Training submissions are welcome at beginner,

General Sessions include presentations on practical development
applications, insight into high-interest projects, best practices and =20=

key
advances, overcoming implementation challenges, and industry =20

promoting specific organizations or products will not be accepted.

Invited Keynotes/Panels/Speakers

Each conference the ApacheCon Planning team invites select presenters
dealing with engaging, dialectical, and challenging subjects to =20
present in
keynote and/or panel formats. Topics include cutting-edge technology
development, industry leadership, hot or emerging trends, opinions on
controversial issues, insight on technology paradigms, and contrasting
viewpoints in complementary professional areas. Those interested in
suggesting a candidate for an invited speaker opportunity should =20
submit a
brief proposal with the speaker's name, affiliation, background/bio,
overview of topics of interest, and contact information.

Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions and Fast Feather Track talks are =20
