There are two Apache Barcamp events coming up.
The first is colocated with ApacheCon Europe in Amsterdam (its in the
same hotel) on 23rd March -

Barcamps are free and open to anyone, whether from business, academia or
neither.
BarCamps (
http://www.barcamp.org/) are informal, ad-hoc gatherings.
There are no fixed speakers, talks or topics. Instead, they rely on
the participation of attendees. Here are some ways you could
contribute:
- present (informally or formally) about your favourite project
- hack together a mashup with other attendees' systems
- play devil's advocate in a lively debate
- have a drink with someone you have never met before
Every attendee is encouraged (though not required) to offer a
presentation; exactly what will happen, though, will be decided among
the participants on the day. The day will be divided into multiple
sessions, with a number of activities happening at once.
