Beaten on our own turf ??
Hi.
There are about 2 days left of "call for papers" to apacheCon Denver
call for papers<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp>
apachecon 2014 <http://www.apachecon.com/>
Can it really be correct, that we are our representation at our "own"
conference is at minimum ?
All of you who consider going, should also consider giving a presentation.
There are room for 150 talks in total, so everything is welcome.
A talk about how do we cope with milllions of users, would be interesting
for a lot of other apache projects (and maybe give us more understanding
for our sometimes special needs).
A talk about our ecosystem, our presence in the social media etc, would be
equally interesting.
I cannot participate, but I help behind the scenes, and I promise to make
up for when apacheCon EU rolls out (it is now a fact that it will come this
autumn, city and time is still being negotiated).
If anybody want to give a presentation, but need help, please email me
directly, and I will try to help as much as I can.
Please lets show how big a project and ecosystem we are, submit a talk.

Its even better, get a talk accepted, and the entrance is 0,- $ so in other
words you get between 275$ and 1.400$ for speaking about your hobby, not
bad.

Thanks for sharing this -- I don't think we've received any widespread

I definitely share the recommendation, but it is known that European
events attract more talks in our case. I think the situation wasn't much
different last year, honestly, with only a couple talks at ApacheCon US
and more activity at FOSDEM just a few weeks before that. And we had a
full day programme at ApacheCon Europe last time it was held (November
2012).

We have many ways to show how big we are. I attend events every time it
makes sense to be there, sure. ApacheCon, with a non-trivial admission
fee for the general public (up to 1400$), is hardly an event where one
can expect to enlarge the community or create awareness outside of the
people who are already active in Apache. For those who haven't looked at
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/attend/register
I must say that committers can enjoy a very good discount this year,
with the committer fee at 275$.
So US-based people, and especially US-based committers, should
definitely not miss ApacheCon US, and while at it propose a talk:
OpenOffice has a lot of peculiarities that other Apache community
members can be interested in. For Europe-based people, ApacheCon EU 2014
will be a more convenient occasion... but if someone can do both, wonderful!
Regards,
Andrea.
