Hi Rich, Great; sounds like we'll plan on a hands-on developing things *in*/*using* Beam. What about contributing workshop? It sounds like a Hackathon space might help people understand things like: specifics of getting Jira username, finding issues, ?signing ICLA?, knowing to subscribe to dev/user lists, etc? Many of us not having attended previous ApacheCon(s) are unsure the audience, alternate tracks, etc etc.
