Last week I and many other Apache developers & were in Stuttgart for ApacheCON Europe 2005. It was a great event, and I learnt a lot from meeting many different people and hearing about how they're using various Apache and open source projects in their products.
The last ApacheCON in Europe was London 2000, which was also an amazing event, and the first ApacheCON I attended. Back then, I remember meeting many people who have become great friends and work colleagues since, and I can already see the same happening from this event.
ApacheCON and such related open conferences are really great for the open source and free software community, as it really brings together the people which is what it's all about. It also brings a lot of fresh energy and reinvestment into the projects when people see the excitement of others and hear about how other people are using them.
Looking forward to seeing the projects go from strength to strength!
