Hi All

It's now about 2 weeks until ApacheCon North America, which is taking 
place Sunday 24th Feb - Thursday 28th in Portland. Quite a few people from 
our project will be there, and we'd love to see you all!

If you haven't already registered for the conference, then we've some good news 
- we've managed to snag a 20% discount for you! To register with the 20% off, 
use code PMC or the link http://acna13.eventbrite.com/?discount=PMC

To see what the talks are, including the ones relating to our project, please 
see the schedule - http://na.apachecon.com/schedule/

Would you like to get more involved in the project? Maybe learn more about 
contributing, get some mentoring on a patch, or help collaborate on some fixes? 
A number of people from the project will be at the (Free!) Hackathon on the 
Monday. If you'd like to come, whether you can make it to the main conference 
or not, the details are on the ApacheCon wiki:

There will also be a dedicated Tika meetup and Hackathon on the Tuesday 
evening: http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ApacheMeetupsNA13

Also talking of free, a few of us will be at the BarCamp on the Sunday. This is 
open to everyone, Portland natives and conference-goers alike, and should be a 
great chance to share new ideas and learn about existing + upcoming projects. 
To sign up to come to that, or learn more, it's

Hopefully see some of you in Portland in a few weeks!
