ApacheCon Miami is coming in May, and is focused on innovation at Apache

[Rich Bowen <rb...@apache.org>]

Dear Apache Incubator participant,


ApacheCon and Apache Big Data will be held at the Intercontinental in
Miami, Florida, May 16-18, 2017. Submit your talks, and register, at
http://apachecon.com/  Talks aimed at the Big Data section of the event
should go to
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp
while other talks should go to
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp



Apache is where the future gets invented, and projects in the Incubator
are where this happens. For Miami, we want to have a strong focus on
what\u2019s happening in the Incubator today that\u2019s going to change the
industry tomorrow.


The goal of the conference is to strengthen and grow our project
communities, and to build the relationships between your project and the
larger Apache Software Foundation. But it\u2019s also to showcase to the
world what new things will be coming out of the ASF.


If you\u2019re a committer on an incubating project, you can take advantage
of the committer discount when you register. You can register any time
between today and April 16th for the low, low price of $275. This is
more than half off of the early bird rate of $600 that everyone else
pays, and about a quarter of the on-site fee of $1000.


If you\u2019re a mentor of an incubating project, please encourage the
members of your podling to take advantage of this opportunity. ApacheCon
is a great way to attract new contributors to an incubating project, as
well as a way to get the project in front of the press.


Here\u2019s some ways, beyond just showing up, that you can make this your
conference.


Content track: Plan a track of content dedicated to your project, or
several related projects. Content tracks are much easier to sell to
attendees and sponsors than isolated talks, and give attendees a way to
go from introductory level to deep dives into your technology. This
builds your user community, and helps potential contributors get to a
level of proficiency more quickly than they could on their own. If you
think you have enough content for a track, get in touch with Rich
(rbowen@apache.org) to discuss how this works.


Sponsor: It costs money to put on a conference, and this is a great
opportunity for companies involved in Apache projects - your employers -
to get their name and products in front of the community. Sponsors can
start any any monetary level, and can sponsor everything from the
conference badge lanyard, through larger items such as video recordings
and evening events. For more information on sponsoring ApacheCon, see
http://apachecon.com/sponsor/


Volunteer: Volunteers are needed for various parts of putting on this
event. These include, but are probably not limited to, the following:


* Content committee: Review submissions and select final schedule for
the event.

* TAC (Travel Assistance Committee): We offer travel assistance for
attendees of this event. This is a work-intensive process, to ensure
that these awards are given out in an impartial manner to the people who
will benefit from them the most.

* Tour guides and on-site assistants: Conferences are a better
experience for everyone if we have an on-site native to assist the
visitors. We need recommendations of the best places to eat and play
around the venue. We\u2019ll be collecting these on the ApacheCon wiki at
http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon


So, get your tickets today at http://apachecon.com/ and submit your
talks. ApacheCon Miami is going to be our best ApacheCon yet, and you,
and your project, can\u2019t afford to miss it.

Fwd: ApacheCon Miami is coming in May, and is focused on innovation at Apache

[Myrle Krantz <mk...@mifos.org>]

Hi Fineracters,

Our project was very well-received at the European ApacheCon.  I'd like to
give another talk on Fineract at the ApacheCon in North America in May.

I would especially enjoy doing so, if I could get some support from you all:

* Is anyone else considering attending? Speaking?
* Are there any real life use cases, that I could highlight to emphasize
the positive impact of our project? (And that you're proud of and want
people to know about?)
* Are there any tasks I could suggest attendees try out to get an
introduction to the project?  Anyone who would be interested in reserving
some of their time to helping introduce newbies mid-May?

Greets,
Myrle
