Please don't wait any longer Matt.

Submission must arrive before (!) 1.02. and they will not extend this
deadline.
However you talk sounds good. Just from experience, people are sometimes
setup
when they hear they should move their facade from slf4j to log4j2 again.
Be prepared
to have good arguments
Any great if you could submit a proposal!

I know I'm not a committer (yet), but I would be interested in doing a
talk on logging. I'll see if I can get employer support as well. Is
anyone else interested in putting together a CFP or two? I'd like to
cover the neat new features in log4j, why we're more awesome than
SLF4J, how to use logging effectively (e.g., using aspects to inject
trace logging, using informative log messages, effective usage of the
API, when to use different levels, using markers, complex logging
configurations, etc), how to help make log4j compatible with other
logging APIs not already implemented, creating additional components
(I.e., appenders, filters, layouts, etc.), and many other ideas.
Obviously that's too much to cover in one talk, but it's a good place
to start examining what topics to cover and at what levels of
expertise.

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!

- What exactly is a project summit?
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." That means that anyone who's a committer
on any Apache project whatsoever /only/ pays $275 to attend the
entire conference, right?
Rich: That's correct.
The registration page says there is an additional fee for tutorials
on April 10th: "$399 for ½ day tutorials ($299 for students) and
$749 for full day tutorials (students and attendees)." 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. I assume that
means 5-9 conference rooms (based on the # of CFPs submitted), which
means 5-9 simultaneous talks can occur.
Rich: That is correct.
It sounds like there is potentially time to have multiple talks on
Apache Logging. Though I am new-ish, I'd love to present on behalf
of Apache Logging. Do we want to have multiple talks?

Hi folks,
I would like to remind you ApacheCon is happening in April 2014.
If you would like to submit your talk, now is the chance.
I think it would be great to have somebody presenting our Logging
frameworks.
I will not be there unfortunately.
Regards,
Christian
