ApacheCon will be over before you know it. Make sure that you're giving some thought to what you'll do there. Here's some things you can do to start getting ready:
* When are you getting there? If you're getting in early, or staying late, we have an etherpad at https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/aceu-2016-people where, if you are so inclined, you can tell the rest of the community when you're arriving, so that we can socialize before and after the event. If you are familiar with the Sevilla area, and know what's good - places to eat, things to do - please make a note in the etherpad so that the rest of us can benefit from your experience. * What are you working on? A huge benefit of ApacheCon is the time to collaborate with your project community. Tell the world what you'll be working on by putting your hackathon plans in https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/aceu-2016-hackathon and tell your users@ and dev@ list about it. This is a great way to attract new people to your community. * Join us on IRC on the #apachecon channel on the freenode.org IRC network. If you have questions, someone there will be able to help. Or just come hang out, before and during the event. * Follow us on @apachecon on Twitter for more information about the event as it gets closer. We'll be announcing important dates, on-site events, and things you might want to know. * The schedule is live at http://apachecon.com/ Please help us promote talks by tweeting about them, posting the schedule to your other social media channels, and telling your colleagues. Registration is still open, and rates go up on November 3rd, so do it now! * Encourage people in your community to join this mailing list, even if they're not going to be at ApacheCon. It's never too early to start promoting the next ApacheCon event, which, by the way, will be held May 15-19, 2017, in Miami, Florida, USA. See you in Sevilla! -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
