2001 ApacheCon Europe Cancelled

Posted by timothy on Tuesday July 17, 2001 @07:42AM from the to-fight-again-another-day dept.

ApacheCon Chair Ken Coar sent out the following notice today: "Due to financial considerations beyond our control and unrelated to past ApacheCon conferences, our conference producer has decided that they are unable to produce the upcoming ApacheCon Europe 2001 in Dublin. With only three months left before the conference was scheduled to begin, The Apache Software Foundation has decided that it is in the best interests of attendees to cancel the show now rather than attempt to find another conference organizer for the Dublin event."

"Our current plan is to begin evaluating proposals by conference organizers for upcoming ApacheCon conferences, both in Europe and the U.S. News of future events will be posted to the ApacheCon announcements list and on ApacheCon.com when they become available."

"Camelot did not pay my fee or expenses for ApacheCon Santa Clara, way back in April, and called today Friday, July 13, at 4:00 am, to say they are closing the company. Camelot appears to have traded while insolvent, a situation that is illegal in some countries."
