This conference takes place at the Hilton Hotel and Towers in San Francisco, October 14th through the 16th, 1998. http://www.apache.org/Conference1998/ We are very excited about this conference. This will be the first time that the developer and user community will meet face to face on a large scale, sharing information on topics ranging from configuration, security, dynamic content engines, and more. We have a full track of case studies, showing how Apache is being used on a wide range of web sites. We also have invited various vendors of Apache-related software to present their wares and hold birds-of-a-feather sessions for their users, in addition to being on-hand in our exhibition hall to answer your questions throughout the conference. Why should you participate in ApacheCon? We will have keynote presentations from John Gilmore of the EFF and Cygnus, author Bruce Sterling, John Patrick from IBM, and David Filo from Yahoo. We'll have technical sessions led by several members of the Apache Group, as well as special presentations by other industry experts. The full conference agenda can be found on the ApacheCon site at <http://www.apache.org/Conference1998/>. We also have an *excellent* party planned at the Exploratorium the night of the 15th. All profits from the conference are going into a separate, independent fund to be administered by the Apache Group core members for the protection and evolution of the Apache family of server software. We will need YOUR participation in the conference to help make this fund a reality. Register soon! ApacheCon registration is $995 until September 15th, at which point it goes to $1295. There are also special deals on hotel accomodations and airfare, which will no doubt run out quickly! I hope to see you there.
