Hi All, The Call for Presentations (CFP) for Community Over Code (formerly ApacheCon) 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota is now open. We would like to remind you that we have a Community track and invite you to submit your proposals. You can find more information at https://communityovercode.org/call-for-presentations/, and *submissions will close at 23:59 UTC on April 21, 2025.*
What is the Community track? It's an opportunity for anyone from our communities to share their experiences, lessons learned, and stories about being involved with Apache. Here are some topic ideas to get you started: Your Apache Story: How and why did you get involved with the ASF? Roles within the ASF: What does it mean to you to be a Contributor, Committer, Member, or Officer in the Foundation? The Apache Way: What does it mean to you? Share real-life stories about understanding and adopting it. Overcoming Challenges: Did you or your project face any significant obstacles? What worked and what didn't? Diversity and Inclusion: How diverse and inclusive are our communities? What have you seen or experienced? Apache Branding, Licensing, Governance: Share your knowledge with others. Future Communities: Do you have insights or opinions on where our communities are now and how they might evolve? The Community Track is about sharing thoughts and experiences so we can learn from each other. Please note that we often receive a rush of submissions in the last week or even the last 24 hours of the CFP, so we encourage you not to wait until the deadline. When you're ready, please use the CFP link below to submit your proposal: https://sessionize.com/community-over-code-na-2025/ You can find more details on the website: https://communityovercode.org/ Looking forward to your submissions! Thanks, Sanyam, Chris, and Rich
