ApacheCon North America 2015 Austin Main Page
Introduction
The Apache Software Foundation is responsible for providing the content for the event, while the Producer is responsible for everything else. PMCs that wish to provide content for the event are encouraged to have a spokesperson step forward to shepherd that process.
Tracks
So far, we have:
httpd
RichBowen - https://docs.google.com/document/d/11oh1CQEwgxvV_xM92kQyRP8HuI92VHuN5znNz-5-Qwg/edit?usp=sharing
- Twenty years on, and still on top, the Apache HTTP Server is the workhorse of the World Wide Web. Come hear the experts and the founders talk about where we came from and where we're going. And, of course, how to solve your problems today, with talks on SSL, Proxying, application deployment, and much more.
OFBiz
Pierre Smits, Sharan Foga
- Apache OFBiz is a suite of enterprise business applications built on a common architecture. This means it can be used as an ERP, CRM, E-Business/E-Commerce, SCM, MRP, MMS/EAM, POS or just as a framework to build applications. The OFBiz track will demonstrate the flexibility of OFBiz and how both business and technical users can gain value out of using it. Sessions will cover why businesses are now seriously looking at established open source enterprise solutions and also how developers can quickly get up and running with the framework.
Traffic Server
Leif Hedstrom (More of a web/ops/caching/etc track, along with Tomcat + HTTPD?)
OpenOffice
Kay Schenk, Andrea Pescetti
Key Signing
JFClere
Infra
Daniel Gruno
Cloud
Ross Gardler
- The cloud changes everything. The Apache Software Foundation changes everything. This track will focus on how The Apache Software Foundation and, more specifically, the Apache projects are often found at the core of the latest and greatest innovations in IT. Sessions in this track will show how the Apache Way enables the largest and the smallest of companies to work together to redefine IT. We'll also take a look into the future of cloud computing and how Apache projects fit into, even defines, that future.
Content management/munging
Nick Burch (would love to have a couple of cTAKES talk)
Apache in Science
Description and Scope
Over a number of years the Science track has been emerging as an attractive and exciting, at times mind blowing non-traditional track running alongside the resident HTTP server, Big Data, etc tracks. This year we want to really get the message out there about how much Apache technology is actually being used in Science and Healthcare. This is not only aimed at attracting members of the communities below but also at potentially attracting a brand new breed of conference participants to ApacheCon and the Foundation e.g. Scientists who love Apache. We are looking for exciting, invigorating, obscure, half-baked, funky, academic, practical and impractical stories, use cases, experiments and down right successes alike from within the Science domain. The only thing they need to have in common is that they consume, contribute towards, advocate, disseminate or even commercialize Apache technology within the Scientific domain and would be relevant to that audience. It is fully open to interest whether this track be combined with the proposed healthcare track... if there is interest to do this then we can rename this track to Science and Healthcare. In essence one could argue that they are one and the same however I digress

Presentation/Meetup Ideas
This area is for interested participants or parties to provisionally show interest with some concept indicative of the nature of content you would present or like to build community around at ApacheCon.

Jim from Govan |
Apache Tika |
Translation of Glaswegian to English to improve understanding of medical diagnosis and injury treatment using Apache Tika |
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE |
Ofer Mendelevitch |
Apache Pig |
Using Apache Hadoop, Apache Pig and other tools for analyzing healthcare data for detection of anomalies - using real-world Medicare-B dataset. |

Calude Warren |
Apache Jena |
TBC |
One of the authors of Linked Biomedical Dataspace: Lessons Learned Integrating Data for Drug Discovery ( http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-11964-9_8also at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264558653_Linked_Biomedical_Dataspace_Lessons_Learned_integrating_Data_for_Drug_Discovery) as part of that project I developed a federated query engine across multiple large scale SPARQL endpoints. I am also the developer of the Jena Security layer (framework to provide restrictions on graphs down to the triple layer if needed) |
Frank Austin Nothaft |
Apache Spark, Apache Avro, Apache Parquet |
highly scalable genomics processing pipelines on top of various Apache components (mostly Apache Spark, Avro, and Parquet). All of our work is Apache 2 licensed and can be found here: https://www.github.com/bigdatagenomics. |
We’d definitely be interested in a joint science/healthcare track. |
Pei J Chen, Jay Vyas |
Apache cTAKES, Apache Spark, Apache BigTop |
Pharmacovigilance - Mining Big Data Text for Real Time Drug Monitoring. |
A joint science/healthcare tracksounds like an interesting idea. |

Notes
(Note from Nick: We might be able to talk someone like Lewis or Chris M into putting on a science track. If that happens, I could see there being one good CTAKES talk for the content track on how you use UIMA+OpenNLP, then another for the science track on how you integrate CTAKEs with other things for solving medical/science problems with it
Healthcare
Pei Chen (cTakes) & Jay (Big Top/Red Hat)
SOA/integration track
Camel, CXF, Karaf some ActiveMQ, (ServiceMix a while back). Hadrian
Apache Cayenne
(Andrus Adamchik): To be precise, the talk will be about building model-driven REST applications with Apache Cayenne and LinkRest (a framework based on Cayenne, and a potential incubator candidate). (might have to be a stand-alone if not enough interest in a track)
