You can submit at any level you want. The conference tends to have very technical folk as well as some more general decision maker folks.
We particularly like sessions that tell the story of how Apache software has improved things for you and your company in some way. This could be a case study format but could also be a detailed dev story. If your proposal is likely to fall into the "cloud" track feel free to send me an outline of your abstract as I'm driving that track and would be happy to work with you on getting the tone right for the expected audience (I can't guarantee selection though). Ross -----Original Message----- From: Ben Craig [mailto:ben.cr...@ni.com] Sent: Monday, January 5, 2015 11:49 AM To: dev Subject: Re: ApacheCon North America 2015 Call For Papers I would like to submit a paper. However, I have never been to an ApacheCon before, and I don't know what level of paper I should submit. Should I be targeting people that have never used my library of interest (Thrift) before, or should I be targeting advanced use cases? Something in between perhaps?
