We should be at ApacheCon North America in February 2013
Hi all,
the subject says it. All infos are here:
http://na.apachecon.com
(It is in lovely Portland Oregon, if you need any excuse, February 24-28, 2013 :)
I likely can’t make it myself, so I am counting on you guys to pick up the bat!
There are multiple ways of getting involved. I hope we can show a strong CouchDB presence.
1. Attend. Just get a ticket and go. If you are a committer, special rates apply. (If you are on the fence about contributing, now is a good time to gain the commit bit in time :) — The more CouchDB folks attend, the better a time everybody will have, and the more we can show the world that we are awesome :)
2. Give a talk. There are plenty of things to talk about in CouchDB land, why not do some of it? :) — Below is a list of potential topics. For some of them I have ready talks, abstracts, sometimes even slides and recordings from previous talks, all of which I am happy to share and make available for you to take and make your own.
- Introduction to CouchDB
- Introduction to BigCouch
- Introduction to PouchDB
- Introduction to TouchDB
- Advanced CouchDB / BigCouch / PouchDB / TouchDB
- Building Apps with a distributed databases (dealing with conflicts and whatnot)
- The CouchDB Implementation.
- CouchDB Grows Up: the state of the CouchDB community
- CouchDB and Git at Apache, sharing experiences
- Your CouchDB Use Case (why you use it and how)
The rules are outline in the Call for Papers:
http://na.apachecon.com/cfp/
The one caveat is the deadline, it is *this Sunday*, November 11th, no late-comers. I hope we can still get a bunch of things in, I’m counting on you. Especially the US & Canada based non-committers here, this is a great way to give back to the CouchDB project if you want to.
If you think you are not qualified, bullshit, if you read this, you will be fine to give most of the talks above. If you have anything else in mind, submit that, too :)
If you need any assistance writing the abstract, making slides later and rehearsing, please get in touch, myself & others here are happy to help.
If you think this is intimidating, it most certainly is (lot’s of smart people that one doesn’t know, foreign city, etc). I guarantee it is worth getting over this. The Apache folks a friendly bunch, even if they come over rough sometimes on mailing lists. It is really nice to put names to faces and I’m sure you will make a friend or two.
Plus, this is a great opportunity to check out on other projects. I am currently at ApacheCon EU and I learned tons about Cassandra and Lucene, both of which have implemented things we might want to look at in the future.
Last but not least, there is a budget for helping with travel expenses.
3. Run / attend a community event. The two days before ApacheCon proper are reserved for all sorts of community events like BarCamps, Hackathons, Trainings and whatnot. I’d love to see a CouchHack-like event there, where devs and users can come together, and teach and learn and hack together. All we need is a space to do things. I know we have friends in Portland that could help with that. It’d be a matter of attending and volunteering to help to be around. — I’d love if one of you could step up and say, “Hey, I’ll take this” and then you, or a small group, can set everything up and invite everybody to come.
I’ve done this before in Berlin and it is great fun and not a lot of work, so I agreed to do it again (the promised email is forthcoming) in Berlin. If you think you can do it, but need help, let us know loud and clear, together we can do this!
* * *
If you have any questions, please get in touch. I hope we can turn this into a great event for the CouchDB community, by the CouchDB community :)
May the Couch be with you,
Jan

Good news and bad news, so I'll give you the bad news first: the information below is incorrect.
Lest you should think that this is any fault of Sally's, PLEASE let me point out that this new information was only developed during the last few hours of ApacheCon EU, to allow as many committers as possible to attend, and so Sally was not a part of the discussions.
Now for the good news: tickets are available for committers at $275 each, and are on sale NOW.
Make sure that you use your @apache.org address to register as a committer. Visit http://acna13.eventbrite.com and click the red "Enter promotional code" text underneath the ticket listings. Enter the code "committer-13", click the "Apply" button and you will see the tickets revealed.
Sorry for the delay in making these tickets available. We are looking forward to seeing your registrations!
regards
Steve

Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
Hello again, Jan, Randall, and the CouchDB PMC --you may receive this information via the committers@ list shortly (it's awaiting moderation), but in the meantime...here's the inside scoop so you can get in straight away:
= = =
We encourage you to register early, as space is limited for the overall event, and there are a set number of Committer tickets.
1) PRICES: we are offering a few dozen hyper-discounted tickets at ***$275*** each --the usual Early Bird rate for Committers is $675-- these subsidized tickets are available first come, first go.
Once the $275 tickets are sold out, the $675 Early Bird Committer rate is in effect through 7 December. After that, registration for Committers will be $895 until 31 December, then $1,095 until the conference begins. TO REITERATE: EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT IS ONLY AVAILABLE DURING THE 2012 CALENDAR YEAR. All Committers tickets after this time are $1,095.
2) REGISTRATION: you _must_ register using your @apache.org address in order to receive the Committer discount. No exceptions!
To sign up, go to http://acna13.eventbrite.com/# and click on the orange "Enter promotional code" link above the green "Register" button. Enter promotional code "committer-13" in the text box and click "Apply". You will note that "Committer Registration" will appear as a new ticket option at the top of the page. Select the number of tickets --limited to one per Committer-- (but you have to select "1", then complete the registration forms on the following page.
We appreciate your patience and enthusiastic support. This is going to be a great event & we look forward to seeing you in Portland!
+ have you submitted your talk or training yet? The CFP closes tomorrow! http://na.apachecon.com/cfp/
= = =
Thanks!
-Sally

URGENT: PMCs, Projects still waiting for COMMITTERS REG CODE [was: We should be at ApacheCon North America in February 2013]
Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
Thank you, Jan. Hello, Randall!
To clarify, there are three rates available for ApacheCon: Committer, Regular (public), and Student.
Within these rates are Early Bird Pricing.
There was a recent adjustment to the pricing during a meeting at ApacheCon Europe this week, which is why the Website does not yet reflect the adjustment nor offer Committer Registration. We have not announced the Committer Registration discount codes.
As you are an ASF Committer, I'll focus on this here. The Super-Discounted rate for Committers is $675 and is valid through 7 December. Once we announce the Committer code, you may register, but must do so using your @apache.org address in order to receive the discounted rate.
After 7 December, registration for Committers will be $895 until 31 December; then $1,095 until the conference begins.
To reiterate: I'm still waiting for the discount code, as it isn't in place yet. Once we have it, we'll announce to the Committers list.
I'm copying the ApacheCon Planning team here for their follow-up. This is the fourth query I've received about this, so we're working to get this resolved soon.
Thanks in advance, Planners, for your help with this!
Cheers,
Sally
