ApacheCon CFP stats, and lease help get the word out
Hi, folks,
With 5 days left in the CFP for ApacheCon, we have 50 papers submitted.
I know that we usually get as much as half of the submissions in the
last 48 hours, but we're still well under where I hoped to be at this
point. Even more worrying, the overwhelming majority of the submissions
are from the Usual Suspects (ie, httpd and tomcat).
Please get the word out to your project communities and encourage
submissions. Abstracts don't need to be great works of literature - we
can brush them up afterwards if we need to. Please let them know that
I'd be glad to personally assist them in writing an abstract if they're
in need of assistance.
If you know of particular individuals that you'd like to see presenting,
please take a moment to contact them personally and encourage them to
submit a talk.
Thanks.

If you have a moment to cut-and-paste a tweet, please consider sending
the following to help us get those talks flowing in:
Doing anything interesting with an Apache project? @apachecon call for
papers closes Feb 1. http://tm3.org/accfp
(Better yet, fill in your favorite project name there.)
or
ApacheCon 2014 is in Denver, April 7-9. Wouldn't you like to speak
there? CFP closes this weekend: http://tm3.org/accfp
or simply
It's not too late to submit your talk for ApacheCon 2014 NA!
http://tm3.org/accfp
Thanks

If anyone wants to submit something on Shindig for ApacheCon you have
to do that by the end of the week.

For those of you who've volunteered to help review talks, despite the
lack of email notification, you probably have your reviewer account if
you've emailed in your details. You can use that to see what talks
have been proposed, and more importantly, what talks / speakers you'd
expect to see that are missing!
If you look through, and see a gap where you know someone who could
fill it, please get in touch and encourage them to submit. The CFP
doesn't have much info for new speakers in it, but other conferences
do and you can probably pinch their materials to help people
understand what they'd be agreeing to, and why it's actually not that
bad. With a friendly prod, you can hopefully get a few more existing
speakers to submit, and some new people to through their hat into the
ring for the first time!
