The 15th edition of ApacheCon will be co-produced by The Apache Software Foundation and The Linux Foundation. The two organizations will co-produce the event that will take place this April in Denver, Colorado at the Westin in Downtown Denver. ApacheCon is co-located with the CloudStack Collaboration Conference North America.

“The Linux Foundation strives to provide unique, collaborative experiences at its events. Our focus is on enabling community and facilitating the relationships that will benefit this form of development for years to come,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “By working with The Apache Software Foundation and its community, we can use our expertise in events to benefit more open source projects and the broader ecosystem at large.”

ApacheCon, event that is in its 15th year, will take place April 7-9, 2014 at the Westin in Downtown Denver, Colorado. The same location will host another event immediately afterwards: CloudStack Collaboration Conference North America, April 9-11, 2014. As expected, some of today’s hottest open source projects will be showcased at ApacheCon: Cassandra, Cordova, CloudStack, CouchDB, Geronimo, Hadoop, Hive, HTTP Server, Lucene, OpenOffice, Struts, Subversion, Tomcat, and many others.

ApacheCon 2014 will undoubtedly be an amazing event – there will be conference sessions, keynotes, hackathons, tutorials, and other activites. And The Linux Foundation will lend a helping hand and make sure everything goes smoothly. You see, this year’s ApacheCon will be co-produced by The Apache Software Foundation and The Linux Foundation.

“The Linux Foundation has demonstrated its expertise in hosting events around the world for a wide variety of open source project communities,” said Rich Bowen, executive vice president of The Apache Software Foundation and ApacheCon North America 2014 chair. “It’s an important year for The Apache Software Foundation and ApacheCon, and The Linux Foundation’s contributions to helping us expand opportunities and experiences for attendees is a welcome addition.”
