Folks,
FYI: if anyone is going to ApacheCon US, this is a good opportunity
for informal introduction of Cayenne. Sort of an "elevator pitch". I
am not very good at doing those, but I am not going anyways :-) If
somebody wants to do such presentation (time may be decreased from 15
to 5 minutes, there is a discussion on the incubator list now), just
drop a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Incubator Lightning Talks at ApacheCon US?
Reply-To: [email protected]
Hiya everyone,
At ApacheCon US in Austin next month, we're scheduled to have a two-
hour block
for "Incubator Lightning Talks." (Thursday 4:30-6:30pm)
This time is roughly to do as "we" see fit.
Our initial idea was to have short (15-min?) talks about as many
podlings as we
can fit in to the timeslot. Tell us what the project is about, who is
involved, why I should download it, etc, etc. You've got 15
minutes to
convince a room full of Apache folks to contribute to your
project. Go forth.
Do folks here agree that this is a good idea?
Do we have any volunteers to help coordinate this?
Do we have podlings that are interested in presenting?
All things considered, I'd give priority to already accepted and
active
podlings; but if someone has a proposal they'd like to discuss and
we have
space for it, that's cool too. Heck, if a full ASF project wants
to get up
there, that's fine by me, too. (I don't have a clue what a bunch
of TLPs are
actually up to anyway...)
Note that no financial assistance will be provided to speakers in this
lightning session - so you do have to get to Austin on your own.
Thanks! -- justin
