The event boasts of a wide range of sessions from prominent speakers from the industry http://www.devoxx.co.uk/schedule-2014/. One of our moderators is attending the event and some of our current and ex-moderators are presenting at the event.
To stand a chance of winning the ticket, all you have to do is participate by posting a limerick in this very thread. You can even post more than once. Members with the most number of cows who post a limerick which we think is the best, stand a chance to win the ticket to Devoxx UK 2014.
This contest ends on Friday, 6th June and winners will be announced by Saturday 7th June.

Was sick of the continual rows
Over which one was best:
Java or .NET
"Give me cross platform any day!", he vows.

A Java developer from Cowes
Before noon he seldom would rouse
His aversion to morning
Caused many a warning
The 'Job Section' he'd soon need to browse

Was tired of his Enterprise ploughs
So he fashioned a sword
Pinned his job to the board
And forced Spring into businesses' mouths.

A Java developer from Cowes
Always tops the (Programming)house.
Offered with a PC/Laptop for coding.
But a better code came from a mobile is the ending.

Has spent so many hours
Making his point that java platform was the internet's power.
Learning python and other language
For him was some strange adage
But he learnt that not being polygot was gonna be a disadvantage
he went down on sql
added trending html
and with javascript on the server side he was smart with node js

He yelled to the crowd 'Give me one right now!'
Word was that he wanted to visit Devoxx
And that if it takes he would ride an wild ox
But instead he got some lame mocks
He drowned his sorrows with whisky on rocks

thought "I want to code better, but how?"
he read lots on the ranch
then forked a new branch
and his software's the cat's meow
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

Had an unhealthy obsession with cows
He talked about cows
He dreamed about cows
He really was fond of those cows

struggled with giving his vows.
Pondering his orientation
he wandered lonely around the nation.
"Am I straight am I gay, a prince or a toad?"
was the question he asked, as he walked down the road.
Then he stopped in the middle
and shouted "STOP with this fiddle!"
"I'll say it now or else I'll explode.
I love you! I love you! I love you, my code."
"Eppur si muove!"

lost his partner in middle of his age,
searched for real reasons to survive,
drenched in tears,
finally found Patience as his partner..
before it died yesterday!!

Thanks. This is a lot of fun.
I'm also taking full advantage of the fact that nobody said you can't enter more than once....

Wrote code with his head in the clouds
He caused the decline
Of software design
Confusing the why with the how

No restrictions on how many times you post. In fact my instructional post says:
You can even post more than once

The last thing she penned
JavaDoc at the end
More sense does her coding arouse,
When bottom up is how you browse.

Was writing his limericks for hours
For a chance at Devoxx
He would write lots and lots
Though not as many as Tim Cooke has done now

Anton, there's a "Watch topic" button on this thread which you can click to start getting email notifications whenever there's a new post in this thread. That's the only live transmission that you can get of this limerick contest.
Edit: Actually hold on. I just read your first post in this thread again:

Are you asking if the Devoxx UK 2014 event will be streamed online live? If that's what you are asking, then you'll have to check their website http://www.devoxx.co.uk/. As far as I know, it won't be streamed online but I think the videos of the recorded events will be uploaded at a later date. You'll have to check their website to be sure.

I think that was what was being asked as well, but as this was in MD I couldn't resist 'accidentally' misinterpreting it.

As he lay there in bed
Looping 'round in his head

A Java developer from Cowes
Had once a big time playing with cows
The cows would love the one
And the one too had fun
Were the cows were from Cowes?

To get a chance of winning a ticket by giving a fight,
and hoping to get relaxed in Devoxx night.
