Anyone planning to be at ApacheCon NA 2014? Might be nice to give an intro about Apache cTAKES (either presentation or even a lightning talk)... I was thinking of signing up for a lightning talk, but perhaps we can coordinate if others are also planning to be there.
--Pei ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rich Bowen <rbo...@redhat.com> Date: Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 9:20 AM Subject: Represent your project at ApacheCon To: committ...@apache.org Folks, 5 days from the end of the CFP, we have only 50 talks submitted. We need three times that just to fill the space, and preferably a lot more so that we have some variety to choose from to put together a schedule. I know that we usually have over half the content submitted in the last 48 hours, so I'm not panicking yet, but it's worrying. More worrying, however is that 2/3 of those submissions are from the Usual Suspects (ie, httpd and Tomcat), and YOUR project isn't represented. We would love to have a whole day of Lucene, and of OpenOffice, and of Cordova, and of Felix and Celix and Helix and Nelix. Or a half day. We need your talk submissions. We need you to come tell the world why your project matters, why you spend your time working on it, and what exciting new thing you hacked into it during the snow storms. (Or heat wave, as the case may be.) Please help us get the word out to your developer and user communities that we're looking for quality talks about their favorite Apache project, about related technologies, about ways that it's being used, and plans for its future. Help us make this ApacheCon amazing. --rcb -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@redhat.com OpenStack Community Liaison http://openstack.redhat.com/
