Historically, our ideal model is that the ASF licenses our brand
(Foundation + Projects) to an org, and we handle the content selection.
Everything else is handled by that producer.
This year we are doing things differently, due to other options falling
through. But this is an outlier.

I was planning on seeing if there was support in the area for an Apache

and what we (as the local group) need to provide. Is there documentation
anywhere that indicates (in a general sense) who does what?

You're right that 2019 is close. And it would be nice to plan events 2
years out. We've just never been that organized. :)
How much technical support is there from Apache? By that I mean is
there a
professional/semi-professional group that provides convention operational
support and guidance? Does this include legal reviews of contracts and
assistance with contract negotiation?
We sometimes have volunteers who can do some of these tasks. But we
don'thave any paid staff that do conference production.
I guess I am looking for an idea of how much support and expertise I need
to assemble on the ground here. Is there anyone that has run an
ApacheCon
before that could provide some guidance? My only experience with this
sort
of thing is that I ran a Science Ficiton/Horror convention in Denver once
upon time. (i.e. long ago)
A lot of us have experience doing Apachecon but we've always had a
professional event production organization.
What is it that you're offering to help with? A venue? Local support?
More/less than that?
