ApacheCon North America 2013 Meetups
Every evening of the main conference (Tuesday-Thursday), we'll have various Early Evening Community Events. From 8pm, we'll then switch over to project-specific and topic-area-specific events. These Meetups / BoFs (Birds Of A Feather) / Get-Togethers will all be on site, and are free to all - conference registration is not required to attend, and we hope to get plenty of local attendees too!
Meetup/BoF Grid
Some meetups have been confirmed, and a few are still provisional. To help us plan, if you see a topic below that interests you, please +1 it so we know it has momentum. If your community isn't listed, add a new proposed talk in the "No Day Assigned" section, and we can confirm it nearer the time if there's demand!

Offsite Meetups
If you are hosting an Apache-related Meetup during the week of ApacheCon NA 2013 between 24th Feb and the 2nd March, please feel free to add the name, brief description, and a link to your Meetup page here. We would suggest that most Meetups try to occur during the 5 days of the Conference, but events on the weekends before and after can work too!
What is a Meetup?
Read our detailed description of ApacheMeetups - they're similar to other Meetups, but focused on Apache projects or technologies - and they're often held in the evenings onsite at ApacheCon! .
Sponsorship
Meetups are great, but meetups with drinks are often even better! If you might be able to help out by sponsoring a meetup, please see the ApacheCon Sponsorship page
Available Rooms
The Open Bastion will add details of the available rooms here later
