Nobody has been in touch with me. It's possible that they've been in touch with Angela, but nobody has mentioned it to me. I know there was talk early on about a Monday or Monday/Tuesday event, but I never saw anything firm. Events that are outside of the main event (chronologically) will have to have a different pricing, somehow, to accommodate for these out-of-schedule days. >> Anyways, if you're still reading, and you are interested in where we see >> ApacheCon going in the coming years, I've put together my detailed >> thoughts here: >> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RQeWtXo6Pn1C5mwu1zNQOMIXcvRYzLa4Y3yPiHK_vtA/edit?usp=sharing >> and I welcome your comments. > > You want the comments in reply to this thread? Here on this thread is fine. Or if you like, make comments directly in the document itself. That document will eventually be one or more blog posts, and possibly documentation on the ApacheCon website. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
