All;
  I've worked up final copies of the eight different logos here. Sorry
I dropped the ball and didn't finish in time for OSCON (this week's been
crazy).

Looks good, thanks!

If no-one beats me to it, I'll update http://www.apache.org/events/ with 
the logos for ACEU (current-event-*) and ACNA (next-event-*)


We can then display the logos on http://www.apache.org/events/, 
http://www.apachecon.com/, and have http://www.apachecon.eu/ updated with 
the new logo.


Finally, we've a draft reminder announcement for PMCs due to go out around 
now. All being well, we could expand that to be both a CFP reminder and a 
request to add the logos + conference details to PMC websites to help 
promote them. If someone has time, please update the draft announcement on 
the wiki with this!


Cheers
Nick

 When can it be ready for ApacheCon EU 2012 ?


 All being well, in about 4 or 5 hours, so I'm told by Gav. As mentioned in
 a previous thread last week, the webapp is having to move boxes, and there
 have been some snags. DNS will switch over when the new box is ready

Gav (the TAC committee chair, amongst other hats) looks to have hit some 
snags, not sure of the details as our timezones don't overlap all that 
much... I know he has been working on it though, hopefully it'll be ready 
soon!

 Der all,

 Now that the Call for Papers has been announced broadly via the official 
 Apache communication channels and others, whereas the announcement of the EU 
 event was communicated more informally, we see a lot of potential 
 presentations, talks and workshops popping up that have a hard time to be 
 placed in any of the listed tracks.

 I agree that a renaming of tracks and a realignment of projects and papers 
 could not only lessen the confusion for the submitters of papers but also 
 enhance the importance of the event for potential visitors.

 The track name proposal of Tim makes sense in that way, but only with good 
 descriptions of tracks and target audiences. Let me present an example.

 The track Enterprise could have following descriptions and target audience:

 The enterprise track is all about Enterprise ready and mature solutions from 
 various Apache projects. The presenters inform you about their capabilities, 
 opportunities and pitfalls and show you how these can support your business 
 out-of-the-box, how they can be implemented and more.

 The target audiences of this track are not only the decision takers and 
 influences in the enterprise, like the IT Managers and architects, but also 
 everybody (user, developer, etc) else who want to gain insights in the 
 Enterprise ready solutions of Apache.



Hasn't the target audience for the conference been defined as
developers (e.g. contributors or potential contributors to the
project)?

Have we explicitly called that out anywhere other than on the mailing
list so far?

The call for papers specifically (AFAIR) mentions both developers and users of 
Apache projects.
