ApacheCon CFP closing soon (11 February)
Hello, fellow Apache enthusiast. Thanks for your participation, and interest in, the projects of the Apache Software Foundation. I wanted to remind you that the Call For Papers (CFP) for ApacheCon North America, and Apache: Big Data North America, closes in less than a month. If you've been putting it off because there was lots of time left, it's time to dig for that inspiration and get those talk proposals in. It's also time to discuss with your developer and user community whether there's a track of talks that you might want to propose, so that you have more complete coverage of your project than a talk or two. We're looking for talks directly, and indirectly, related to projects at the Apache Software Foundation. These can be anything from in-depth technical discussions of the projects you work with, to talks about community, documentation, legal issues, marketing, and so on. We're also very interested in talks about projects and services built on top of Apache projects, and case studies of how you use Apache projects to solve real-world problems. We are particularly interested in presentations from Apache projects either in the Incubator, or recently graduated. ApacheCon is where people come to find out what technology they'll be using this time next year. Important URLs are: To submit a talk for Apache: Big Data - http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp To submit a talk for ApacheCon - http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp To register for Apache: Big Data - http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/attend/register- To register for ApacheCon - http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/attend/register- Early Bird registration rates end March 12th, but if you're a committer on an Apache project, you get the low committer rate, which is less than half of the early bird rate! For further updated about ApacheCon, follow us on Twitter, @ApacheCon, or drop by our IRC channel, #apachecon on the Freenode IRC network. Or contact me - rbo...@apache.org - with any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Save the date: ApacheCon Miami, May 15-19, 2017
Dear Apache enthusiast, ApacheCon and Apache Big Data will be held at the Intercontinental in Miami, Florida, May 16-18, 2017. Submit your talks, and register, at http://apachecon.com/ Talks aimed at the Big Data section of the event should go to http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp while other talks should go to http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp ApacheCon is the best place to meet the people that develop the software that you use and rely on. It’s also a great opportunity to deepen your involvement in the project, and perhaps make the leap to contributing. And we find that user case studies, showcasing how you use Apache projects to solve real world problems, are very popular at this event. So, do consider whether you have a use case that might make a good presentation. ApacheCon will have many different ways that you can participate: Technical Content: We’ll have three days of technical sessions covering many of the projects at the ASF. We’ll be publishing a schedule of talks on March 9th, so that you can plan what you’ll be attending BarCamp: The Apache BarCamp is a standard feature of ApacheCon - an un-conference style event, where the schedule is determined on-site by the attendees, and anything is fair game. Lightning Talks: Even if you don’t give a full-length talk, the Lightning Talks are five minute presentations on any topic related to the ASF, and can be given by any attendee. If there’s something you’re passionate about, consider giving a Lightning Talk. Sponsor: It costs money to put on a conference, and this is a great opportunity for companies involved in Apache projects, or who benefit from Apache code - your employers - to get their name and products in front of the community. Sponsors can start any any monetary level, and can sponsor everything from the conference badge lanyard, through larger items such as video recordings and evening events. For more information on sponsoring ApacheCon, see http://apachecon.com/sponsor/ So, get your tickets today at http://apachecon.com/ and submit your talks. ApacheCon Miami is going to be our best ApacheCon yet, and you, and your project, can’t afford to miss it. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@apache.org VP, Conferences http://apachecon.com @apachecon

ApacheCon Seville CFP closes September 9th
It's traditional. We wait for the last minute to get our talk proposals in for conferences. Well, the last minute has arrived. The CFP for ApacheCon Seville closes on September 9th, which is less than 2 weeks away. It's time to get your talks in, so that we can make this the best ApacheCon yet. It's also time to discuss with your developer and user community whether there's a track of talks that you might want to propose, so that you have more complete coverage of your project than a talk or two. For Apache Big Data, the relevant URLs are: Event details: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-europe CFP: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-europe/program/cfp For ApacheCon Europe, the relevant URLs are: Event details: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe CFP: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/program/cfp This year, we'll be reviewing papers "blind" - that is, looking at the abstracts without knowing who the speaker is. This has been shown to eliminate the "me and my buddies" nature of many tech conferences, producing more diversity, and more new speakers. So make sure your abstracts clearly explain what you'll be talking about.

[ANNOUNCE] CFP open for ApacheCon North America 2016
Community growth starts by talking with those interested in your project. ApacheCon North America is coming, are you? We are delighted to announce that the Call For Presentations (CFP) is now open for ApacheCon North America. You can submit your proposed sessions at http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp for big data talks and http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp for all other topics. ApacheCon North America will be held in Vancouver, Canada, May 9-13th 2016. ApacheCon has been running every year since 2000, and is the place to build your project communities. While we will consider individual talks we prefer to see related sessions that are likely to draw users and community members. When submitting your talk work with your project community and with related communities to come up with a full program that will walk attendees through the basics and on into mastery of your project in example use cases. Content that introduces what's new in your latest release is also of particular interest, especially when it builds upon existing well know application models. The goal should be to showcase your project in ways that will attract participants and encourage engagement in your community, Please remember to involve your whole project community (user and dev lists) when building content. This is your chance to create a project specific event within the broader ApacheCon conference. Content at ApacheCon North America will be cross-promoted as mini-conferences, such as ApacheCon Big Data, and ApacheCon Mobile, so be sure to indicate which larger category your proposed sessions fit into. Finally, please plan to attend ApacheCon, even if you're not proposing a talk. The biggest value of the event is community building, and we count on you to make it a place where your project community is likely to congregate, not just for the technical content in sessions, but for hackathons, project summits, and good old fashioned face-to-face networking. -- rbo...@apache.org http://apache.org/
