Now that the Olympics are over, the signs that read "Passion Lives Here" could well be transported from Torino, Italy, to San Francisco's Moscone Center. Thousands of passionate Java technology advocates, developers, and experts from across the globe will descend upon San Francisco, May 16 to 19, for the 2006 JavaOne conference. This annual exchange of all things about Java technology will include hundreds of expert-led technical sessions, real-world tips and examples, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, Hands-on Labs, previews and demonstrations of technical advances, and exciting evening events with industry leaders.
This year's theme, "The Power of Java," celebrates Java technology's 11th year as a platform and programming language that has proven its worth in the marketplace. Not only does it work across platforms, but it also ably scales from the smallest micro-edition portable device to the most mission-critical enterprise behemoth.
Many from the industry will be on hand to celebrate Java technology's enduring power during the four-day affair. Sun's Conference cosponsors include: Platinum-BEA Systems, Inc., IBM, and Oracle; Gold-Justsystems Inc., Nokia, SAP, and Terracotta Inc.; Silver-Adobe Systems, BenQ-Siemens, Quest Software Inc., SavaJe Technologies, and Sprint. In addition, more than 70 companies will be exhibiting on the JavaOne Pavilion floor.

Have you ever wondered how to get an idea of all the different projects under the Apache Software Foundation umbrella? Many interesting hours can be spent browsing our project websites to find those interesting gems. But now there is also an alternative.
We are happy to introduce the projects.apache.org website. This site contains a catalog of Apache projects and the resources they provide. It is not yet comprehensive, so if you see a project that is missing, ask them to get themselves listed .
ApacheCon Europe 2006 will be held at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, June 26-30, 2006. The Call for Papers is open until March 27.
