We've seen a couple of announcements already around DevNation and I just wanted to add my own take to this because I've been asked "Where's JUDCon or CamelOne?" The simple answer is that they haven't gone away, but at least as far as Summit is concerned they've been subsumed within DevNation. The reason for this is pretty simple too: when I kicked off JUDCon with the team back in 2010 it was the precursor event to JBossWorld/Summit and the only developer conference we held at that point. Over time we've added OpenShift and other developer conferences with non-JBoss focus and then of course last year we added CamelOne. Each of these conferences have their own identities but when gathered together at the same time and location it can cause confusion, not just in terms of questions like "If I register for JUDCon can I go to CamelOne?" but also in terms of presentations, which often span multiple developer communities and hence these individual conferences, resulting in questions like "Why was that presentation at JUDCon when it clearly should have been at CamelOne?"

Therefore, whilst the likes of JUDCon will continue to exist in isolation (you are going to JUDCon India, right?) and we've restarted the Fuse Days, when gathered together at Summit we'll have just DevNation. The content of this one event will be just as eclectic, the communities just as vibrant and the entertainment just as good, but now it should be a lot easier to understand just what you get for your registration and what you can expect. Of course I'm sure (I hope) there will still be issues with being able to see all of the sessions you want to see because some conflict, but I think that's the sign of a good conference/workshop.

Onward to DevNation!
