http://www.apachecon.com/ - 14 August 2000 - The Apache Software Foundation

Apache-related and open-source software. The event, sponsored by Covalent
Technologies, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Oracle and ID-PRO will be held at the
Olympia conference centre, London between 23-25 October, 2000.
ApacheCon Europe 2000 will provide a European focus for the Apache
developer community, bringing together the key technology vendors, senior
Apache figures and open-source followers and observers from around the
globe, in response to the growing European interest in open-source software.
Among ApacheCon Europe 2000's line-up of presenters are:
- Ryan Bloom, Senior Software Engineer for Covalent Technologies, will
provide insights into the lastest version of the server - Apache 2.0;

negotiation module;
- Tobias Ratschiller, a new media consultant in Italy, will discuss PHP

- Bill Stoddard, Senior Software Engineer with IBM and regarded for driving
IBM's decision to drop its proprietary HTTP server in favor of Apache 2.0,
will discuss improvements in Apache 2.0 for Windows;
- Kirill Bolshakov, working toward his PhD at Saint Petersburg State
Technical University in Russia, will outline concepts to enable application
service providers (ASP) to host untrusted Java/XML/XSP-based applications;
- Stas Bekman , author of the mod_perl Guide and PerlMonth columnist, will
offer a tutorial, "Getting Started with mod_perl"; and
- Theo Schlossnagle, who is pursuing his PhD at John Hopkins University,
will discuss his work on the mod_backhand load-balancing module for Apache.
"ApacheCon Europe 2000 is the only event in Europe, where the Apache
developer and user community can meet to shape the future of Apache and
open-source software movements," said Rasmus Lerdorf, ASF Board Member and
presenter of the Introduction to PHP session. "Our conference is designed
to provide the European open-source community, with all necessary resources
for Apache-related initiatives and to serve as a forum for the continued
evolution of the open-source movement in Europe".
Apache-related and various other freeware exhibits, speaker sessions,
keynote addresses and informal Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are all on
offer, making ApacheCon Europe 2000 the only European opportunity this year
