Dammit … I forgot to mention something else I managed to arrange ☺
Applications to TAC are opening in the next days. If your TAC application gets
accepted the Apache Fondation will cover all the travel costs for staying the
entire week including the Summit (Actually being able to stay the whole
working-week is a requirement for getting your application accepted).
Now you may think that others might be more worthy of applying but I would like
to convince you to apply if money is what’s keeping you from going. In the past
few times I have been acting as a Judge and part of the organization of TAC we
have had several TACers that turned out being happy to attend a free holiday,
so if we get people really wanting to get involved in Apache and Apache
Projects, this is what TAC is really made for.
@Piotr you have been really active in the past and it would be a shame to not
have you there. So please reconsider.
I would love to meet all of you guys I only know email addresses of.

I could give the girls the go and they would setup a registration-form for the
event. We would be added to the “Co-Located events” Page of the ApacheCon and
get two dedicated Flex Summit Signs on Site (Yay … wouldn’t have done it
without those signs ☺ )

switched to monitoring mode on this list … please speak up. If it’s only the
usual 1 x -1 and 3 x +1 there’s no use in me investing more time into this.
