As most of you have no doubt seen, the CFP is now open for ApacheCon North America. The timeline for the CFP is as follows: CFP Close: February 12, 2016 CFP Notifications: February 29, 2016 Schedule Announced: March 3, 2016 Thus, around February, I'm going to be looking for people who are willing to be part of a content committee to help us select the talks for this event. I will also be looking for help in the following areas: * Getting the word out about the CFP outside of the apache committers. Spread the word to your company, your meetup groups, your fishing buddies, and your chrorale. We want talks from more than the Usual Suspects. * Getting the word out about the event itself, so that people can get on their manager's budget far enough in advance. * People who know and love Vancouver to help tell the story about all the extra-Apache reasons why people should come to ApacheCon. * Keynote suggestions and personal contacts. (Yes, we'd like to have Harrison Ford keynote, but unless you know him personally, or know how we can get in touch, it's not a helpful suggestion.) * And, of course, you need to get your talk submissions in so that we can have a stellar lineup of talks. Come hang out on #apachecon on irc.freenode.net if you want to make suggestions, help out in any way, or just enjoy our company. See you in Vancouver! -Rich -- Rich Bowen - [email protected] - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon -- Niclas Hedhman, Software Developer http://zest.apache.org - New Energy for Java
