Guys, let's show up for Apache Logging! They're hurting for CFP's right now. Rich Bowen at ApacheCon assures me that if money is an issue getting committers to come and lead talks, the Travel Assistance Committee will do everything it can to help you get there. Email them at t...@apache.org.
I'm definitely going and I'll submit a CFP as well. I'm open to suggestions. Let's try to get 3-5 good Apache Logging talks in from different people! If we can get two PMC members to come, we can even have a summit, which would be great exposure! We need to coordinate so that we're covering different topics and not stepping on each other. I NEED A ROOMMATE AND YOU DO, TOO! Hotel is the biggest expense for this--more than flights and committer registration combined. I'm looking for someone who wants to go and is willing to share a hotel room and split the cost. If we can get 4 Logging guys there, we can use just 2 hotel rooms and save a bunch of money. I plan on flying in Sunday night and checking out of the hotel Friday morning--that's five nights. If someone can only share the hotel for 3 nights, we can split the price accordingly. Inline below I have included the answers I got to some questions I asked Rich. I hope some of you will come to ApacheCon with me! It'll be a great opportunity to publicize Log4j 2.0 GA!

Rich: Some projects are taking the opportunity to have a "summit" of one kind or another, to do sprints on features, or to discuss the direction of the project, or to do bug triage, or whatever. A project summit is whatever you want to make it, if two or more members of the PMC are together in a room to make it happen. > - What exactly is a tutorial and how is it different from a talk on the > normal days? Rich: A talk is 50 minutes. A tutorial is 3 hours. That's the main difference. A tutorial is usually more indepth, with hands-on elements - more of a training class than an overview. > I noticed the fee is normally $799 (until Friday, then $1099), but it's $275 > for "committers."

What it doesn't say is: > 1) Is there an additional fee for tutorials on April 10th for /committers/? Rich: Yes, tutorials have a fee for everyone. > 2) Is there an additional fee for tutorials on April 11th for anyone (it only > mentions April 10th, but the schedule shows tutorials on April 11th as well)? Rich: We'll get that fixed. > 3) Is there an additional fee for project summits on April 10th or 11th? Rich: Project summits are usually open to anyone interested in the project, and no extra fee is charged. > It says they will have 5-9 tracks going on this year.
