Announcing ApacheCon @Home 2020

2020-06-29 Thread Rich Bowen

Dear PMCs and Incubating projects,

Since I know that some incubating projects won't have seen my 
announcements to dev@ and user@ lists, I am repeating it here. I 
apologize for anyone who has already seen this one or more times.


We’re pleased to announce that ApacheCon 2020 will be held online, 
September 29th through October 1st, 2020. You can see the full details 
in the various other announcements that have been going out to other 
lists you’re on, so I won’t repeat all of that again here.


My message for you is that, due to the online nature of the event, we’re 
freed of the normal space/time constraints that we have to deal with at 
in-person events. We can have pretty much as much content as we want, on 
as many topics as we want.


If your project (or family of projects) wants to have a presence at 
ApacheCon, from one “what is it?” talk all the way up to a full track of 
content, please get in touch with me - rbo...@apache.org - as soon as 
possible to arrange that.


We are on a very short timeline, due to a long list of blockers that we 
have had to deal with over the past few months, and so please don’t 
delay. I will need for you to designate a track chair who will be my 
single point of contact for your track. You can handle communication 
with your project however you like, but I need one person that I can 
rely on to be that point of contact. That track chair should subscribe 
to plann...@apachecon.com in order to be included in all relevant 
conversations


I hope to have helpful documentation for track chairs, so you won’t be 
doing it all on your own.


I really hope to see your project at ApacheCon @Home 2020.

Announcing ApacheCon @Home 2020

2020-06-29 Thread Rich Bowen

Hi, Apache enthusiast!

(You’re receiving this because you’re subscribed to one or more dev or 
user mailing lists for an Apache Software Foundation project.)


The ApacheCon Planners and the Apache Software Foundation are pleased to 
announce that ApacheCon @Home will be held online, September 29th 
through October 1st, 2020. We’ll be featuring content from dozens of our 
projects, as well as content about community, how Apache works, business 
models around Apache software, the legal aspects of open source, and 
many other topics.


Full details about the event, and registration, is available at 
https://apachecon.com/acah2020


Due to the confusion around how and where this event was going to be 
held, and in order to open up to presenters from around the world who 
may previously have been unable or unwilling to travel, we’ve reopened 
the Call For Presentations until July 13th. Submit your talks today at 
https://acna2020.jamhosted.net/


We hope to see you at the event!
Rich Bowen, VP Conferences, The Apache Software Foundation
