ApacheCon has a rule about "no other conferences within 3 weeks before or after ApacheCon". Naturally, they want sponsors to put money into ApacheCon and attendees to buy tickets. Anything that looks like it undercuts that would be denied. It might be possible to convince ApacheCon that our little 10-30 person get-together does not harm their business. Not sure. FWIW, at the last (and only, so far) FlexJS World Tour, we only had about 10 non-committers show up. Many more attended on-line. So maybe the next get-together should just be on-line. Thoughts? -Alex
