+[The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](https://www.apache.org) has
+announced that Community Over Code Europe 2026 will take place October
+11 to 14, 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, at the Hilton Hotel.
+
+Community Over Code is the annual conference of the ASF, bringing
+together contributors, committers, users, and open-source enthusiasts
+from across its 350 plus community driven projects. For more than 27
+years, Community Over Code and its ApacheCon predecessors have
+celebrated not only the technology produced under the ASF, but the
+collaborative community model that powers it.
+
+This four-day event will feature keynotes, hands on sessions, real
+world case studies, training sessions, hackathons, and more. Topic
+areas will include Search, Big Data, Internet of Things, Community,
+Geospatial, Financial Tech, and many others. Each evening will also
+host Birds of a Feather sessions and informal gatherings designed to
+foster discussion, collaboration, and new ideas across projects.

+## CloudStack Track at Community Over Code
+
+The Apache CloudStack project will once again host a dedicated
+CloudStack track at Community Over Code Europe 2026. The track will be
+chaired by CloudStack PMC members, Daniel Salvador and Ivet Petrova.
+
+The goal of the CloudStack track is to address both foundational and
+advanced concepts within Apache CloudStack, while showcasing the
+latest developments and real-world use cases from across the
+ecosystem. Sessions will cover topics such as:
+
+• CloudStack architecture and core components
+• Advanced networking and storage integrations
+• Automation, orchestration, and API driven operations
+• New features and roadmap updates
+• Large scale production deployments and case studies
+• Community processes and contribution pathways
+
+Whether you are new to Apache CloudStack or operating it at scale in
+production, the CloudStack track will offer practical insights,
+technical depth, and direct engagement with project contributors and
+users.
