-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Greetings!
Two items (described in more detail below): 1. The deadline for early-bird registration has been extended to Friday night (4 October 2002). 2. All ApacheCon delegates will also receive a free pass to the Comdex Exhibit hall. (Comdex is in Las Vegas at the same time as ApacheCon.) We have had some problems with the registration system for ApacheCon. The deadline for the early-bird registration (US$499 and US$400 per tutorial) was supposed to be 17h00 EDT (that's U.S. EASTERN TIME) Tuesday. Due to some glitches, the registration software expired the deadline early. A number of people hesitated to register because it seemed as though they'd be overcharged, and some people went ahead and registered anyway. So: We're extending the deadline to midnight (U.S. EASTERN TIME, UTC -0500) Friday night, 4 October 2002. (I repeat: that's U.S. EASTERN TIME. If you're in California and you try to register at ten o'clock local time Friday night, that's after midnight EDT and you won't get the discount.) If you haven't registered yet, either because you didn't want to be overcharged or because you just didn't get a round tuit, go ahead and register now. You'll save US$200 on the conference registration and US$100 on each tutorial. If you registered on Monday 30 September 2002 or before, you should be all set -- you don't need to do anything. If you registered Tuesday and got charged US$699 for the conference and US$500 for each tutorial, please send your name, email address, and telephone number to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> so we can make sure you get contacted. (If you already sent mail and your situation has been sorted out, you don't need to send another message.) We will contact you individually to ensure you are not overcharged. If you registered Tuesday and aren't sure whether you were overcharged or not, please contact <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as above and indicate that you want to verify the amount you're being charged. Please accept my sincere apologies for the confusion and problems, and thanks for your support! - -- Ken Coar ApacheCon chair -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQB1AwUBPZpM5IRSB5i9NsVxAQFdIAL9GOrrURyIRaG+mhNo7mxIb3MA3eg8f1FG at6UgzjImRg16GXLhIalPW979+pt9Zf4f3ZNGHXIgZwztoFx9a9AYN4jnXTGd5OW hBV/6yMhVfgwbNn/sslCBJY/HtpI8Eqp =6AWY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
