If you haven't already done so please send the below mail to *all* your projects list (see Rich's original email for gull background): ------CUT-------- Subject: ApacheCon CFP closes June 25 Dear [PROJECT] enthusiast, As you may be aware, ApacheCon will be held this year in Budapest, on November 17-23. (See http://apachecon.eu for more info.) The Call For Papers for that conference is still open, but will be closing soon. We need you talk proposals, to represent [PROJECT] at ApacheCon. We need all kinds of talks - deep technical talks, hands-on tutorials, introductions for beginners, or case studies about the awesome stuff you're doing with [PROJECT]. Please consider submitting a proposal, at http://events.linuxfoundation.org//events/apachecon-europe/program/cfp Thanks! -----CUT---------- On 10 June 2014 13:06, Rich Bowen <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear PMC Chair, > > Thanks to your efforts, and the efforts of many others, ApacheCon North > America was a huge success by all measures.
