Marco, I heard rumors that you were trying to reschedule for November. If that is the case, I would suggest you push the reschedule farther in the future for a couple reasons: - ApacheCon is in November already in Europe so that makes travel to both events very difficult. - People traveling from India and some other places need about 45 days to get a visa to travel, so we need to have set dates at least 2-3 months prior to the event.
Let us know what your plans are.
