I have started to look around with an eye to 2019 as I have contacted ITAG locally (www.itag.ie) and with their experience they think we can put together a proposal provided there are any open dates at the University and provided that those dates do not clash with major events in town that tend to

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. On 06

I was planning on seeing if there was support in the area for an Apache conference. So I am trying to understand what Apache brings to the table and what we (as the local group) need to provide. Is there documentation anywhere that indicates (in a general sense) who does what? Claude On Mon, Ju

2019 is awful close as I have not yet tested the waters in the area to see what we could do. We have a couple of disadvantages that have to be overcome. But I will see if there is much support locally for the idea. How much technical support is there from Apache? By that I mean is there a profe
