Next stop, Beijing!
Well, not *my* next stop (bummer) but take a look at the first APACHE MEET UP in China (5 December 2008) http://us.apachecon.com/c/accn2008 and BARCAMP BEIJING (6 December 2008) http://barcamp.org/BarCampBeijing
Then, of course, there's APACHECON EUROPE in Amsterdam (23-27 March 2009) http://eu.apachecon.com/c/aceu2009/
Captcha
Hi Monju... Check out the Wikipedia definition of "Captcha" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha
Also, you can take a look at the numerous Apache Projects here: http://apache.org/
Have you been to ApacheCon? If you're able to make it to Beijing, China you may want to consider attending the Apache Meet Up and/or BarCamp Beijing (5-6 December 2008) http://us.apachecon.com/c/accn2008 and http://barcamp.org/BarCampBeijing
Voluntourism Day
Not sure why but I can only see my photos in the Apachecon group at Flickr if I am signed in. Here is a direct link to the set:

Java Monitoring and Trouble Shooting Tools In Action
This session was really help full and good in content and presentation.
Post your Photographs to the Flickr Group
Reminder: we ask folks to also tag their photos immaterial of what website they host them on. Use either/both of:
- apachecon
- ApacheConUS2008
Feel free to make comments on our http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/Apac... " wiki page as well.
Java Monitoring and Trouble Shooting Tools In Action
My perl script was written specifically for thread dumps taken from a resin3 appserver. It classifies the threads into different categories by name. The names will be different for other appservers. It should be a simple hack to change the thread names that the script is looking for to make it work for thread dumps from other appservers. Or one can ignore the name and simply classify the threads by the state that they are in:
idle - in Object.wait()
blocked - waiting for monitor entry
running - runnable
Free feel to contact me at billa at apache dot org if you have any questions on the script or any part of the talk.
I had to skip one demo since I went out of time. I am thinking about splitting the talk into two, heap dump analysis and thread dump analysis. What do you think?
Voluntourism Day
I just added the photos I took to the Apachecon group at Flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/apachecon/
A great time indeed.
Voluntourism Day
It was a great time and felt good giving back.
Looking for photos of day if there are any.
Voluntourism Day
What a great day! We shoveled mud and built a fence. A great turn-out.
Do You Believe in the Users?
Amen Brian! As I mentioned you should consider recording this session and put it up on YouTube. Good stuff which applies to really any software development effort, Open Source or commercial.
Voluntourism Day
We're gathering at 8:30am sharp, and have arranged a bus for transport to the worksite. Note that we're still working on getting transport back from the worksite, so if you do have a rental car with space, let us know, so we can reduce the number of cabs we'll need.
Note that depending on the number of volunteers, we don't know how long the job will take.
In any case - please bring an ApacheCon or ASF feathered tshirt if you have one! And if you have a good camera, bring that too; we're going to want to take a picture of our creation (presuming, of course, we can get a bunch of geeks to build a fence in a straight line instead of a fractal.
Advanced Reverse Proxy Load Balancing in Apache HTTP Server 2.2
A tremendously well presented talk blending high level explanation an detailed how-to's which successfully compressed a day's learning into an hour's session. One of the most worthwhile sessions I've attended at any conference, not just ApacheCon.
Stormin' the coffee cup with Apache Harmony
Nice overview of the modular nature of Harmony, and irritating reminder of Sun's recalcitrance :/
How Do You Do? Writing Documentation Your Audience Can Read
Good talk, good examples, good advice--enjoyed the talk quite a bit, and it mirrors recent experiences.
Apache James - The Complete Email Application Platform
Good high-level overview of what James brings to the table.
Scripting your Java Application with BSF 3.0
Tough to cram a lot into 50 minutes, but it would have been nice to see more realistic, even if small, examples about Java/BSF-language integration. More OSGi information than seemed necessary for the primary topic.
Service Oriented Integration With the Apache ServiceMix ESB
Good introduction on ESB, JBI, ServiceMix,... and Bruce is a great speaker, getting everybody's attention, even mine!
ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, Camel, and CXF - An integration toolbox
Our apologies - the speaker, Chris Custine, went to the hospital earlier today with back problems, and will not be able to give this talk today. We wish him well and hope he feels better soon.
Bruce Snyder has very kindly volunteered to lead a 30 min discussion about Camel during this time instead, since we have no other backup speakers at the moment. Bruce will then be heading immediately for the airport, so please email him followup questions so he doesn't miss his flight. Thanks Bruce!
iBatis, Cayenne, OpenJPA - Apache Persistence Layers
Nice overview of the three products, but didn't get to the details much. Unfortunately, but I can't expect anything else if you have just 50 minutes to discuss 3 persistency frameworks.
Java Monitoring and Trouble Shooting Tools In Action
This was a GREAT session! I really appreciated all of Bill's very helpful and informative examples, and seeing some tools I hadn't used before.
I took as many notes as I could and posted them here:

How Do You Do? Writing Documentation Your Audience Can Read
Excellent information, well organized and thorough. My pain comes from knowing all of the documentation I need to create for our company. Thank you for taking the time to present this information!
Open Development in the Enterprise
Great talk that not only drew great parallels between open source projects and enterprise development teams, but also illustrated the patterns (and anti-patterns) for successful open source communities in the first place.
Phil delivered a clear and well structured presentation, full of "aha!" moments. This should be required listening for all development managers - and I'm not just saying that because he kept mentioning my name :)
How Do You Do? Writing Documentation Your Audience Can Read
Great talk from Noirin, though a little painful to listen to as I recalled examples of our own docs for every illustration of what not to do! A great set of tips for all developers to take note of and use to make some reasonable improvements to their documentation. I would love to hear more about the aspects of attracting (luring?) experienced documentation writers into an open source community for a future talk.
Great conference, are the presentations available?
Yes, we are still working with all of our speakers to collect and post presentation slides. Many are available now on the apachecon.com half of our website, and after the conference we'll post an easy way to download them.
For now, go to the SCHEDULE link in the header above, and click through to the session you're interested in. Every session will either have state "No Materials Available" - which means we haven't uploaded the speaker's slides yet - or will have clickable links for any materials that are available.
Please note - rating sessions, and providing comments on sessions, is provided on the COMMUNITY or apacheconus2008.crowdvine.com portion of our site, where you can build a My Schedule.
Open Source Collaboration Tools are Good For You!
Bertrand is my boy! His intellect is evenly matched by his personality. This is my first time attending AC and I really did not know what to expect. The speakers rocked the house and I actually learned stuff! I attend Java One regularly and even though AC is a fraction of the size (and likely budget) the learning was on par and Bertrand was a key piece of the puzzle. I hope you have a safe flight back to Switzerland and maybe we can hook up over the fiber optics.
Great job dude,
Peace,
Scott Stanlick
Content analysis for ECM with Apache Tika
Paolo - great job! I definitely got way more out of the talk than expected, and was surprised at how nice Tika is.
Best wishes for bobsledding in '10 :)
Introducing Mahout: Apache Machine Learning
Yeah, it is a balancing act between people who know nothing about machine learning and people who want more depth (the title is "Introducing Mahout", after all) FWIW, I think in the future there should be intro and in-depth talks.
Lucene Case Studies
With Erik you can't go wrong on Lucene. Although agreeing about the lack of technical depth (that probably was not supposed to be the scope of the presentation), I greatly appreciated the Solr Flare demo. Rapid development makes me have fun.
Opening Plenary
The sound in this room doesn't reach far enough back. They should have put some speakers in the back of the room for better distribution. As a result, speakers in the large room are not easily audible, which did Shane no favors. Shane, you were also going a little fast which I know is something one often does unconsciously.
Member's Reception
Variety of food and beverage choices certainly a hit. Well source, Springsource.
(In)secure Ajax and Web 2.0 Web Sites
Very interesting and very frightening talk !
