Hello incubator committers! You should have received an email from me if you are a committer, sent on 8/17, encouraging you to attend ApacheCon US 2007. You might or might not know that early registration discounts are extended still until September 22nd, so you have a week and a half still to save some wampum on your registration!
But this is going to you now because tomorrow night we are finalizing the next press release about ApacheCon, and we want to generate excitement. What's more exciting than tomorrows' next big thing? That would be here at the Apache Incubator and at Apache Labs! See the press release below for how this was sold in the past. If you 1) plan to attend and 2) are willing to present a 15 minute short presentation about your incubating or labs technology, the attendees would very much appreciate learning about your podling's technology! These have been warmly received, the attendees are very kind to folks who haven't done that much public speaking. And you get the satisfaction of championing your podling! Lars is starting the schedule soon, and is willing to modify it (space available) all the way through the convention. But for the purpose of identifying what technologies are represented, **please reply** with the project *you* are willing to speak about to the general@ list, so everyone finds out about all the projects that will Fast Feather. Do so today (in the next 24 hours) and *your project* can appear in the next official press release about the convention! Many thanks, see you in Atlanta! Bill ================ from the AC/EU 2007 press release... FAST FEATHER TRACK – ALL DAY Thursday Due to the overwhelming response to the Incubator Fast Track in Austin at ApacheCon US 2006, we expanded the idea for Amsterdam – AND IT WAS A HIT!!!!. The ASF is now over 10 years old, with more than forty top level projects and dozens of other active projects in the Incubator and elsewhere. Additionally, there are new ideas and potential projects being hatched in the Incubator and Labs every day. With this in mind, we bring you the Fast Feather Talks. An extra session track has been added for Thursday. Join us in an intimate setting to hear 10 to 15 minute updates on some of your favorite (or soon-to-be favorite!) projects within the ASF community. Stay for a few talks, or stay all day and get caught up on the exciting, cutting-edge world of ASF projects! Incubator: incubator.apache.org/ The Incubator is the entry path into The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. All code donations from external organizations and existing external projects wishing to join Apache enter through the Incubator. Labs: labs.apache.org/ Apache Labs is a place for innovation where committers of the foundation can experiment with new ideas. The aim is to provide the necessary resource to promote and maintain the innovative power within the Apache community without the burden of community building. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
