ApacheCon 2005 Comes to Europe
dirkx writes "For the first time in 3 years - the Apache gathering will be once again in Europe." The next ApacheCon Europe will take place July 18-22 in Stuttgart, Germany. It will start off with tutorials about anything from Apache to Tomcat to XML, then continue with presentations on more in-depth topics: scaling, security, and more.

That other people don't have to fly half way around the world for it, you insensitive clod?
I'll be sure to go. I'm very interested in hearing more about James, their new news and mail server written in Java! http://james.apache.org/

Conferences can be a good source of information for both the end user and the developer. A lot of the times you can directly interact with developers who make the decisions on where the software is going. If you use Apache a lot then this is of interest to you. A lot of people extend the functionality of Apache and being able to discuss this with others provides a benefit.
As for traveling a lot of the time the people traveling are traveling on behalf of a company so long distance travel is not a problem. (And if you consider that sometimes flying from the US to Europe is actually cheaper than flying from the West Coast to the East Coast then this doesn't make a difference). And lastly, as the other person posted the other half of the world isn't flying long distance to attend the conference; they are just taking a Eurorail pass to get there.

If you live halfway around the world, you must spend a lot of time swimming, idiot.
ironic to have a conference in Stuttgart in July when every german will be sunbathing in Greece or Crotia. Just trying to stay away from (the) Sun?...
