Well reminded Ed!

Please be aware that the CFP closes at midnight GMT, which at midnight London,

Also if anyone has been putting it off until the last moment, then it's time to 
do it now :-)

Thanks

Sharan is an awesome speaker and can definitely help you make a
top-notch submission.  If you get a speech accepted to ApacheCon, and
you're not sure how to pay for your travel, please keep in mind that
you can apply for travel assistance from TAC.

I agree.  I would be willing to help 1 or 2 people offline by
proofreading abstracts before you submit them, and making suggestions.
Is anyone else willing to help new speakers?

The Apachecon CFP is open so is anyone interested in making a submission?  
Example talks could be things like a progress report (what has happened, what 
is planned), a beginners guide (how to get started), practical user example (a 
user story from an implementation), etc.

What do people think?

I think it's a good idea!
