The large number of attendees at ApacheCon Europe 2000, which took place from 23-25 October exceeds the numbers who attended the US ApacheCon 2000 in Orlando, Florida in March and illustrates not only the success of the first ever European conference for Apache-related and open-source software but also highlights the evolution of Apache worldwide. Sponsored by Covalent Technologies, IBM, Sun Microsystems and Oracle, ApacheCon Europe 2000 provided a key focus for the open-source developer community, enabling participants of Apache and key technology vendors from around the world to meet at Europe's first event dedicated entirely to open-source followers. Freeware and Apache-related speaker and informal birds of a feather sessions plus major keynotes from the likes of Dr. Kristof Kloeckner, Vice President of Technologies Advocacy and Community Development and Director, IBM's Hursley Park laboratory; George Paolini Vice President of Technologies Advocacy and Community Development, Sun Microsystems plus Douglas Adams, best-selling author of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy all contributed to the success of ApacheCon Europe 2000. With sold-out exhibits and education sessions plus these powerhouse keynotes and additional networking opportunities, ApacheCon Europe 2000 is now recognised as the European event where trends, innovations and new Apache initiatives are truly explored. Europe's only event for Apache and open-source followers will return to Europe in the fourth quarter of 2001, meanwhile the next ApacheCon is being held in the US from 04-06 April 2001 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California. Exhibitors and Sponsorship opportunities are now available.
