Hello PMCs --as you may know, ApacheCon North America will be taking place the last week of February 2013.

There are THREE parts to this email:

1) The Call for Presentations has been extended to Friday, 9 November. We'd like to see your submission! Here are the details:

Conference Dates: 24 February – 2 March 2013. The event will kick off with pre-conference trainings, BarCamp, and hackathon the first two days; followed by the main conference + expo 26-28 February; and closing with post-conference sprints, workshops, and team building events.

Location: Portland Hilton in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Theme: "Open Source Community Leadership Drives Enterprise-Grade Innovation", showcasing the diverse applications and solutions made possible by Apache technologies.

Submissions: novel uses of Apache products and how they are helping to shape the future are particularly welcome, including proposals on technical, business and community matters for audiences at all levels from beginner to expert, with particular focus on those demonstrating real-world experience of solving specific problems. To submit a proposal, visit http://na.apachecon.com/

Topics: Dozens of Apache technologies —from Abdera to Zookeeper— will be represented across popular topic areas and tracks that include: Apache Daily (everyday tools, frameworks, and components), ApacheEE (Java Enterprise projects at the ASF), Big Data, Enterprise Messaging & Integration, Cloud, Linked Data, Lucene/Solr & Friends (Smart Search & Analytics), Modular Java, NoSQL Database,    OFBiz (Open Source Enterprise Resource Planning), Apache OpenOffice, Web Infrastructure, Business & Community, and many more.

Dates: Submission deadline: 9 November; Speaker/Trainer notifications: 26 November. Early-Bird registration will open with the announcement of the conference program at the end of November. Updates will be posted on the @ApacheCon Twitter feed and the ApacheCon Website.

Speaker Benefits: we've got a different arrangement this year per the guidelines put forth from ConCom. These are being finalized now and should be posted on the CFP pages by Friday.


2) Spread the word! Please share this information with your community; post on your lists, tweet, and blog if at all possible. Promotional graphics will be available soon as well.

Thanks in advance for your help with this! The Planning team are ramping up for ACEU next week, so there's a chance you'll be seeing some of them.
