ApacheCon US 2005 BOFs have been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday evenings, at 8:30pm and 9:30pm. You should see the [http://apachecon.com/2005/US/html/sessions.html main conference schedule] for the rest of the conference schedule, including all sessions and special events.

If you would like to have a BOF, and it has not been scheduled, there will be a whiteboard available for signups at the conference. If you can't find it, hunt one of us (Shane, Rich, or a conference Planner) down, and we'll try to help you. Note that there are a limited number of large conference rooms available, so last minute sign-ups will only get small rooms or areas assigned.

BOF Schedule

Please add BOFs that you'd like to have below. When the slots fill up, we'll see about getting more slots. You may link to an additional page for further information about the BOF, as well as for people to sign up to indicate interest in the BOF. Please place your BOF in your desired slot in the schedule below. If you are not comfortable editing the wiki content directly, please email planners-2005-us@apachecon.com with a subject line of "BoF Request" or something similar.

To add your BOF: Click 'Edit' above to edit this page (you must first Login to be able to Edit). Add the title of your BOF in a slot below. Be sure to then create a new wiki page for your BOF, where you should include your name (so we can contact you about it) and a paragraph describing what your BOF is about (so folks know if they'd be interested in coming!)

Please note that the actual schedule is on the board by the registration desk. It might be different from the schedule here on the Wiki. Please help keeping the Wiki up-to-date in case of changes.

What is a BOF?

Birds Of a Feather, or BOFs, are where people of like interests flock together – small, focused talks or group sessions for 60 minutes with just the people you want to meet. Any attendee can propose a BOF. There is no special format, and while some people have a presentation used for discussion, it's often just a group of folks interested in the same topic having a lively discussion. For ApacheCon US 2005, they are currently scheduled for Monday and Tuesday evening from 8:30pm to 10:30pm.
