Call for papers: ApacheCon North America, Portland, Feb 2013
We are busy talking about other conferences at the moment (both in
Europe: ApacheCon Europe in Sinsheim in two weeks and FOSDEM in Brussels
in February 2013) but especially those who live in the US may be pleased
to know that the website of the next ApacheCon North America is online:
http://na.apachecon.com/
The conference will take place in Portland, Oregon, USA, 26-28 Feb 2013.
The Call for Papers is already open and will stay open until 12 Nov 2012
(extended with respect to what you see on the website). So, especially
those living in the USA, please go and post your talk proposals now!
I expect discussions on this list to focus mostly on ApacheCon Europe in
the next two weeks, but when that is over we still have a few days to
discuss and solicit proposals for Portland 2013.
Regards,
Andrea.

Totally understandable. Committing to participate and present at a
conference is a significant investment in time and energy. Thank you for
help make the Apache OpenOffice track at ACE a success!

Good prioritization. Your leadership and commdev skills will be most needed
at FOSDEM.

Well, it's still a developer-to-developer conference. The 'business' side
is more reflected by the professionalism of the event producer, The
OpenBastion Group. Steve Holden did an awful lot to pull ACE back from the
brink of chaos, but in the end ACE was still mostly driven by community
volunteers.

I attended ACNA in Vancouver last November, yes. As I said above, it is
still a developer event, there were very few business folks there. You
could say that the corporate sponsorships may be more evident, but I think
ACE picked up quite a few in the closing weeks as well, so I'm not sure
that it's much different in terms of corporate business support.

I may not attend to ApacheCon NA 2013, too. Although I would love
to meet more of our OpenOffice US community in person, my school project
is really tight. I would have a serious problem if you see me in
ApacheCon NA 2013. :p

If anybody missed this: the deadline for submitting talks is 11 Nov (so
in 3 days; and I was mistaken in writing 12 Nov, apparently it's closing
one day earlier).
North-American community members, please do submit a talk (if someone
needs an incentive: having a talk accepted will save you the 1300 USD
admission fee). Others are welcome too, of course.
I won't attend ApacheCon NA or submit a talk, for a few reasons:
1) Time. ApacheCon is amazing, but I can't take another week off from
my, totally unrelated, job to attend the US edition too. (I also prefer
to spend my money in different ways, but time is the main issue).
2) Overlapping events. In the first weekend of that month (February
2013) we will already have FOSDEM in Brussels, which I will very likely
attend.
3) Conference spirit. ApacheCon US seems a business-oriented conference,
while ApacheCon EU is the "community edition". We have plenty of project
members, especially in North America, who will feel perfectly at home in
a business-oriented conference, while the "community edition" is just
fine for me.
I might be wrong about item 3, but a lot of people on this list have
probably attended both ApacheCon NA and ApacheCon EU and can explain the
difference better than I can.
Regards,
Andrea.

Let me know if I can help with reviewing as well.

I submitted a talk and will update this wiki page. This being said, mine
also focuses more on, well, community/administrative type areas, so
maybe too much on this kind of topic given what you have here.
Really, since this is my first attendance at an ApacheCon, I intended to
just kind of "scope" things out, so I will not be *at all* disappointed
if my talk gets turned down. Really! :} It is very difficult for me to
judge what people might find interesting or bore them to tears. 'Nuff said.

I have confirmed that it is still possible to submit your proposal despite
the deadline having passed. The conference producer, The Open Bastion
Group, led by Steve Holden, will issue an email calling for Reviewers. I
plan to volunteer to do this as I had done for ACEU. I've also submitted
proposals for two talks. [1] Since I do not have Admin privs for the CFP
system (yet) I cannot determine if anyone else in our community went ahead
and submitted a proposal for a talk.
If you have submitted a proposal please update the wiki! thx...

Hi Andrea;
I should mention that those of us that applied for TAC assistance from
the ASF for Sinsheim are not eligible for assistance for Portland.
This is a general ASF rule, I have no idea if the PMC can/will override
this with available funding but it may lead to somewhat reduced presence
in the US event.
Pedro.
