Thanks, Melissa. Folks, if anyone is remotely interested, please let us know.
I have some funds set aside in the M&P budget for coach airfare and hotel --and it would be available to the individual(s) who will be spending their primary time supporting Melissa at the booth. Do contact me soon, as the opportunity for the free passes closes on Monday, 8 July. Cheers & chat soon, Sally >________________________________ > From: Melissa Warnkin <missywarn...@yahoo.com> >To: "con...@apache.org" <con...@apache.org>; ASF Marketing & Publicity ><pr...@apache.org>; Apache Members <memb...@apache.org>; Sally Khudairi ><s...@apache.org> >Cc: ASF Executive Assistant <e...@apache.org>; ComDev ><dev@community.apache.org> >Sent: Friday, 28 June 2013, 18:53 >Subject: Re: Seeking booth assistance at OSCON > > > >Hey all!!
