I have send a mail to Justin to indicate that Qpid would like to have a slot. Let me know if you have ideas on the key points we want to convey in 5 minutes.. (seems to have been cut to 5 min from 15.)

Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 01:14:03 -0700 From: Justin Erenkrantz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hiya everyone, At ApacheCon US in Austin next month, we're scheduled to have a two-hour block for "Incubator Lightning Talks." (Thursday 4:30-6:30pm) This time is roughly to do as "we" see fit. Our initial idea was to have short (15-min?) talks about as many podlings as we can fit in to the timeslot. Tell us what the project is about, who is involved, why I should download it, etc, etc. You've got 15 minutes to convince a room full of Apache folks to contribute to your project. Go forth. Do folks here agree that this is a good idea? Do we have any volunteers to help coordinate this? Do we have podlings that are interested in presenting? All things considered, I'd give priority to already accepted and active podlings; but if someone has a proposal they'd like to discuss and we have space for it, that's cool too. Heck, if a full ASF project wants to get up there, that's fine by me, too. (I don't have a clue what a bunch of TLPs are actually up to anyway...) Note that no financial assistance will be provided to speakers in this lightning session - so you do have to get to Austin on your own. Thanks! -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
