Publicizing ApacheCon 2003

Hello everyone,

Apachecon 2003 will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 16-19
November 2003.

For this event to be the success that it deserves to have, we need to
make an effort to publicize it as much as possible.

I have created a series of icons that one can use to link to
http://www.ApacheCon.com. The icons are available at

   http://www.apache.org/~ceki/ac2003/

We should at least add a salient image on the sidebar of the jakarta
pages.

Comments?

I think the confusion stems from


10% Early Bird Discount:
	ends 1 September 2003

at http://www.apachecon.com/2003/US/html/sponsors.html

Early Bird (Sponsors) != Early Bird (Attendees)

It fooled me =)

Wasn't aimed at you (or anyone) personally - presumably there is a good 
reason for the early-bird registration expiring (Sept 1 according to 
the site) before registration opens. It *is* funny though. Perhaps 
"...is quite funny" would have been better word choice =)

It wasn't aimed at you (or anyone) personally -- I apologize if you 
took it that way. Presumably there is a good reason for the early-bird

Christ, they just got it together.  While I'm covered, folks were for months
asking "Are we having an apachecon" and then it was barely advertised with
no sessions scheduled yet and early bird is already over?  If I were any joe
off the street I'd probably want to at least have some vague idea what would
be covered before registering even if I wanted to register as early as
possible.....

If I am not mistakem, early-bird registration seems to be already over...

Anyway, I added a link at the top of the jakarta sidebar menu. I am 
confident people will find things to improve but you've got to start somewhere.

This is CVS. We can revert if need be.

i like the logo. (unless someone beats me to it) i'll add a news item as 
well.

if someone could let us know when sessions are available, then we can 
change to a  logo with 'sessions-now-available' byline and probably post 
something to announcements as well. (it'd be cool if someone involved with 
the organization could write up something so that top level projects would 
have something well written to post.)
