Scala by the Bay registration and training is now open! We are assembling a great two-day program for Scala By the Bay
www.scalabythebay.org -- the yearly SF Scala developer conference. This year the conference itself is on August 8-9 in Fort Mason, near the Golden Gate bridge, with the Scala training on August 6-7 and Apache Spark training August 11-12. We have key companies using Scala as sponsors and partners, and many great talk submissions already in the pipeline, including Play and Akka. We provide pre-conference training, Scala Foundations, and post-conference training, Fast Track to Spark. Each training is a two day intensive, hands-on course. The training and registration tickets have early bird discounts of about $200 each, so e.g. on the all three package the savings would be $600. Early bird pricing ends on July 2nd. Training capacity is limited to 25 seats in each training session. The keynotes are by Marius Eriksen, Principal Engineer at Twitter, the lead on Finagle and other Twitter Stack components, and Matei Zaharia, CTO of Databricks, the lead on Apache Spark and other Berkeley Stack components. There will be great lunch and dinner presentations and we plan to bring the Off the Grid trucks for awesome food, as well as create other opportunities afforded By the Bay to enjoy our spectacular location and community. We are still looking for more great talk submissions, both full-length and lightning. The CFP is open through Friday the 13th, and the registration fee for the authors of accepted full-length talks will be waived. We will open up voting for registered attendees once we have the majority on hand. The program will be composed based on the votes from the attendees, the reviewers, and the organizers. We hope to see you at Fort Mason in August! Alexy Khrabrov, Jason Swartz, and the Organizing Committee of Scala By the Bay
