On behalf of the Conference planning team, pleased to announce that the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) will be hosting the next North America Community Over Code event September 11-14, 2025 in Minneapolis, MN. Community Over Code is the annual convention of the ASF, offering a chance for the community to gather in person and showcase content from many of the project communities at the ASF.
For more than 26 years, ApacheCon and Community Over Code have reflected the best of our projects and communities, continuing to champion the cause of open source development and community practices. Community Over Code will highlight ASF projects and emerging innovations through hands-on sessions, keynotes, real-world case studies, trainings, hackathons, and more.
The ASF has, for over a quarter century, been a vital and critical role player in the open source ecosystem, with its 350-plus open source and community-driven projects creating software that not only runs the Internet, but also leads the way to new technological innovations with each passing year. But, as the name suggests, it’s not just the code that makes the ASF special: it’s the people who innovate, create, and explore new technologies, and it’s those people who contribute to the betterment of technology and the public good every day.
In September, Community Over Code will feature four days of sessions, focusing on topics such as Search, Big Data, Internet of Things, Community, Geospatial, Financial Tech, and many others. Each evening will also feature Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, where communities will have an opportunity for free-form discussion and planning around our various projects.
So, mark your calendars, Community Over Code North America will be held in Minneapolis, September 11-14, 2025, in the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. Information on call for presentations, sponsorship, registration, and special room rates will be made available soon.
