Well I am planning on attending, but not certain about submitting a

committers...


Kay, I'd love to hear you do a talk on openoffice.org web infrastructure
and all the amazing details you are so familiar with...in other words,
share your knowledge and expertise. It takes maybe 10 - 15 minutes to
submit an abstract. You could really make a huge difference here.

Thanks for this suggestion, Don. I'll think about it although I don't know how well a topic like that would fit with the conference theme...

"Open Source Community Leadership Drives
>>> Enterprise-Grade Innovation"

It might be fun to see how OpenOffice performs accessing a Hadoop hive? :) with jdbc:hive

As a former DB hack, this would be a fun challenge.

OK, I know only an abstract is needed by Sunday. I'll get my brain cells moving.



I think the planners@ folks will sort out the discount codes and other
benefits for speakers and committers. It will likely be messy, but not as
messy as ACE (I hope!).

/don


The former schedule does not seem to be in effect as early bird
registration is open NOW instead of the end of Nov:

so I apparently missed the "Apache Committers’ Super-Saver Rate". :/

Apologies for top posting.

I realize that everyone must be very tired from the excellent effort
putting on the Apache OpenOffice track at ACE this week. More on that in
a
separate thread.

For ACNA I recommend we call on our volunteers in the Americas to step
up.To get the ball rolling, I put in a proposal for an overview
presentation to cover the project. [1] I am not recommending we attempt
to
build a large track as we did for ACE. Let's see what we can do to put
more
meat on the bones of this overview talk though.

To wit: it would be fantastic if we can see more proposals submitted
*before
*the deadline of *Sunday, November 11! *
*
*
I'm hoping Dave, Andrew, Kay, Pedro, Nancy, Louis, Ariel, Dennis and
others
may be able to do so. Since the venue is in Portland, Oregon, it may be
possible that our Asian colleagues will be able to make the trip. There
is
TAC funding available as you can see from the root note here.

Hello everyone --

Two items of note regarding ApacheCon North America, taking place in
Portland, Oregon, the last week of February 2013.


1) Call for Presentations has been extended to Sunday, 11 November.

ApacheCon will kick off on 24 February with two days of pre-conference
trainings, BarCamp, and hackathon; the main conference + expo is 26-28
February, followed by post-conference sprints, workshops, and team
building
events through 2 March.

This year's theme is "Open Source Community Leadership Drives
Enterprise-Grade Innovation", showcasing the diverse applications and
solutions made possible by Apache technologies.

We encourage submissions that demonstrate novel uses of Apache products
and
how they are helping to shape the future, including proposals on
technical,
business, and community matters for audiences at all levels from beginner
to expert. Demonstrations of real-world experience in solving specific
problems are particularly welcome. Submit your presentation and training
proposals at http://na.apachecon.com/cfp/


Dozens of Apache projects —from Abdera to Apache HTTP Server to
Zookeeper— will be represented across popular topic areas and tracks
that include: Apache Daily (everyday tools, frameworks, and components),
ApacheEE (Java Enterprise projects at the ASF), Big Data, Enterprise
Messaging & Integration, Cloud, Linked Data, Lucene/Solr &
Friends (Smart Search & Analytics), Modular Java, NoSQL Database,
OFBiz (Open Source Enterprise Resource Planning), Apache OpenOffice, Web
Infrastructure, Business & Community, and many more.


Travel assistance is available for select individuals who qualify. To
apply, visit https://www.apache.org/travel/


Selected Speakers/Trainers will be notified on 26 November.



2) Early-Bird registration is NOW OPEN.


The SUPER EARLY BIRD registration rate is $1,095 ($330 less than last
year!), but you must register by 31 December, afterwhich the regular
registration fee of $1,395 is in effect. Sign up today at
http://acna13.eventbrite.com/


Discounted hotel room rates are also now available: we encourage you to
book your accommodation as soon as possible, as space is limited. For
details, visit http://na.apachecon.com/venue/



Updates will be posted on the @ApacheCon Twitter feed and the ApacheCon
Website. We look forward to seeing you in Portland!
