Hey Javier, I'm not just on the board. I'm also the Chair of ApacheCon Europe. : o) Which is why I haven't been around much lately...
But as such, I'd like to suggest that Fineract request a sub-conference at ApacheCon 2020. Either in Europe or in North America or both. This would dramatically reduce the cost of the conference and effort to our community, allow the Fineract community to leverage Apache offerings like TAC (Which enabled the attendance of 5 Fineract community members in Montreal in 2018! : o), and allow us to play with the "big boys" in PR and Media relations for our conference. We'd also have a hackathon space, and the opportunity to cross-pollinate with other Apache communities. All we'd need is someone from the community who is willing to step up and serve as track chair. Track chair would coordinate with the community, review submissions, and ultimately select the talks for the Fineract track. If anyone wants to volunteer, I'd be happy to introduce you to the ApacheCon planners list.
