| <h1 class="title">About Community Over Code</h1> |
| |
| <p>Community Over Code (formerly ApacheCon) is the official conference of the Apache Software Foundation. |
| Its primary goals are education and community building. We try to |
| produce one each calendar year somewhere in North America and Europe, |
| and are working on expanding this to the rest of the world.</p> |
| <p>If you want to volunteer to help with Community Over Code, please |
| <a href="/involved/mailing-lists.html">join our mailing lists</a>, |
| and see what <a href="/about/commcode/volunteer.html">volunteer opportunities</a> we have, |
| bearing in mind that it sometimes gets out of date.</p> |
| <h2 id="what-is-community-over-code">What Is Community Over Code?</h2> |
| <p>While Community Over Code events vary from year to year and location to location, there |
| are some components that you can count on happening at every Community Over Code.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Community Over Code has at least 4 tracks of technical content, and often more.</li> |
| <li>Projects, or groups of related projects, may request a dedicated |
| track where they will provide a track chair, and have freedom to |
| create their own content for a project/topic sub-conference. In this |
| way, Community Over Code resembles a convention of ASF project conferences.</li> |
| <li>There can be a hackathon space where projects can gather to work on |
| code, or work out community issues.</li> |
| <li>There will be a <strong>State of the Foundation</strong> Keynote by the President or |
| other officer, providing an overview of the ASF’s accomplishments.</li> |
| <li>There will be a PGP key signing.</li> |
| <li>The event is usually 3 days or more.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Community Over Code is the one annual event for the particular continent in |
| question. As such, it draws an international audience, both in |
| speakers and attendees.</p> |
| <p>The documentation around how to plan an ApacheCon may be found in the |
| <a href="/about/commcode/playbook.html">ApacheCon Playbook</a>. Most planning tasks |
| are done by volunteers who commit to help - at least a little - throughout |
| the planning process for one specific conference.</p> |
| <p>You can find out more about what ApacheCon events are in the works on |
| the [Community Over Code NA](<a href="https://communityovercode.org">https://communityovercode.org</a>} and <a href="https://eucommunityovercode.org">Community Over Code EU</a> websites, and see what events |
| we’ve done in the past on |
