Kay - Generally any interested Apache committer can ask to be added to the reviewers group for ApacheCon events in the Linux Foundation CFP system.
You simply need to drop an email here/to Rich offering to help. If you've done reviewing for the previous two LF organised events then in principal you should already be on the authorised reviewers list. Rich - In the CFP system if you want to filter reviews by events there are two "ApacheCon North America" entries with no easy way to tell which refers to this years event and which is next years. Can we get the LF folks to add the year to those event titles in the CFP system to make the two events actually distinguishable?
