Hi Nick!
Obviously my mail 2 month ago didn't make it to the apachecon list (also sent it to members@ I think). 5.th to 9th is a problematic time for a conference in germany, because this is exactly the time where the biggest IT conference with ~5000 visitors takes place in munich: http://jax.de/wjax2012/ So many german speaking ASF folks as well as many visitors might not come to the ApacheCon. I know you cannot make it right for everybody, so just bad luck I guess. I'll try to at least attend 2 days. In general a big thanks for organizing the ApacheConEU again! txs and LieGrue, strub ----- Original Message ----- > From: Nick Burch <nick.bu...@alfresco.com> > To: committ...@apache.org > Cc: > Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2012 10:47 PM > Subject: ApacheCon's EU 2012 and NA 2013 - save the dates and get involved! > > Hi All > > Those of you at ApacheCon NA 2011 in Vancouver may remember me standing on > stage, announcing some provisional information on ACEU12, and saying more > information on ApacheCons for Europe and North America would be along > soon.... > It's been a little while longer than hoped, but we do now have some firm > announcements! > > Firstly, for Europe, SAP have kindly agreed to host us in Sinsheim, Germany > on > the week of the 5th-9th November 2012, for ApacheCon Europe 2012.
