2019 is awful close as I have not yet tested the waters in the area to see what we could do. We have a couple of disadvantages that have to be overcome. But I will see if there is much support locally for the idea.
How much technical support is there from Apache? By that I mean is there a professional/semi-professional group that provides convention operational support and guidance? Does this include legal reviews of contracts and assistance with contract negotiation? I guess I am looking for an idea of how much support and expertise I need to assemble on the ground here. Is there anyone that has run an ApacheCon before that could provide some guidance? My only experience with this sort of thing is that I ran a Science Ficiton/Horror convention in Denver once upon time.
