Hi, Although this closes even a bit after the CFP (Feb 12, 2016: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp) since I won't be on the call next week and it may not even take place, is anybody considering a Pluto 3/Portals proposal for ApacheCon NA 2016?
I was told individuals might even get travel assistance, but in case they didn't grant it, someone from North America would be good, too. Or Scott if IBM he's able to speak in NA should a proposal be accepted. Maybe think about it over Christmas, at least in January it would be good to decide if it was a good time and place to talk about the JSR and next Pluto version.

To: Cc: "travel-assista...@apache.org" <travel-assista...@apache.org> Hi pmcs@, The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2016 are now open! This announcement serves as a purpose for you (pmcs@) to let members of your community know about both ApacheCon NA 2016 and about the TAC assistance to attend. Could you please forward this announcement to your community, along with (if possible) information on how your project is involved in ApacheCon this year? We will be supporting ApacheCon NA, Vancouver BC, May 9th - 13th 2016. TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but are unable to do so for financial reasons. For more info on this years applications and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at < http://www.apache.org/travel/ >. Applications are already open, so don't delay! This year ApacheCon NA is split into two separate themed events - Apache BigData <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america> and *ApacheCon* <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america>. Due to the small time frame of each event (3 days and 2 days) the Apache Travel Assistance Committee will only be accepting applications from those people that are able to attend BOTH events. *Important: Applications close on Wednesday, March 2, 2016.* Applicants have until the the closing date above to submit their applications (which should contain as much supporting material as required to efficiently and accurately process your request), this will enable TAC to announce successful awards shortly afterwards. As usual TAC expects to deal with a range of applications from a diverse range of backgrounds. We therefore encourage (as always) anyone thinking about sending in an application to do so ASAP. We look forward to greeting many of you in Vancouver, BC in May 2016! Best Lewis (On behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee)
