Re: ApacheCon EU 2012 and Apache OFBiz
Hi Nick, Steve, Yesterday the strategic ApacheCon EU 2012 OFBiz confcall was held, and according to intentions/commitments we can expect to do 5 sessions on OFBiz. These sessions will be about explaining the technologies behind the product (1), about how to handle and integrate custom add-ons (1), about shop within shop solutions and eCommerce for larger enterprises (2) and on project and time management with OFBiz (1). This will give us a nice spread regarding some of the possibilities with OFBiz. At the moment only 1 paper (on the pm and tm session) has been submitted, but over the coming days till the end of CfP the rest of the papers are expected to be submitted. I have stressed this to the other participants. We expect that attendance is going te be less than 100 per session, but who knows for sure So we could do with one of the smaller rooms. One session participant said that he was expecting some clients to attend. That's good news. Regards, Pierre

I have stressed this to the other participants. We'll need enough good sessions to fill the track, including an option for what to do if someone drops out. (That backup could either be another talk, or a pre-agreed stand-in speaker for an existing talk) We expect that attendance is going te be less than 100 per session, but who knows for sure So we could do with one of the smaller rooms. One session participant said that he was expecting some clients to attend. That's good news. One thing we're going to be asking all track chairs for soon, which you could maybe get started on, is more information on the track for potential attendees. The current info on the tracks page is a good start, but needs expanding, as on the whole the current level of detail is only suitable for people already involved in the projects. The lucene track have volunteered to produce the expanded descriptions first (they have some marketing volunteers to help), and we'll then use that to help guide the other tracks on what's needed. In the mean time, if you want to expand your track description, to help explain to people why they should come, that'd be a great start! Thanks Nick

If you let us know your username for the apachecon.eu site, then someone can grant you edit karma. As the track chair, you can then go in and update it yourself :) Nick

Hi Nick, All, I have added the OFBiz track to the spreadsheet. I trust it is ok how I filled it out. If not, please let me know.

Re: ApacheCon EU 2012 and Apache OFBiz
We can add this track to the system fairly easily and update the Call for Papers page. You don't say how long you would like to entertain your 100 people ... (though I understand that this will to a large extent be conditioned by submissions). regards Steve On Jul 17, 2012, at 2:19 AM, Pierre Smits wrote: Hi Nick, All, I have added the OFBiz track to the spreadsheet.

Re: ApacheCon EU 2012 and Apache OFBiz
Hi Nick, Steve, Thanks for helping me out. Indeed I did not mention how long we could entertain. It indeed all depends on the submissions regarding CFP. As far as I can see it now we have about 5 intentions to present, but now indication yet wrt doing those multiple days. Regards, Pierre
