Status report for the Apache Conference Planning Project
Concom: After significant effort from J Aaron, and much delay (not J
Aaron's fault), we now have a website for ACUS07. J Aaron has a vision
for where we should be wrt websites and has solicited feedback on the
options available going forward. There has also been discussion about
potential new formats for Apache events, focused on longer trainings,
and solicitation of training sessions from some of our members.
Both ACUS and OSSummit are fast approaching - concom would appreciate
efforts by other PMCs to promote these events among their communities.
In particular, where a training has been scheduled for a project, we
would greatly appreciate that project working on advertising the
training to its community! =)
ACUS07: The website is now available for ACUS07! A number of issues
with how it displays have been reported, and are being dealt with.
Registration is now
open, and a press release has been made to this effect. Jim Gettys of
OLPC has agreed to keynote on the Friday, he will hopefully also bring
some OLPC laptops with him. Ora Lassila has also agreed to keynote -
probably on Thursday. The third keynote slot has yet to be locked in.
OSSummit: Press releases in a number of languages have been made
across APac, and some work has begun in the English-speaking press.
There has been a minor but steady trickle of enquiries about the
conference. The session selection and scheduling is almost complete -
some last minute scheduling issues have delayed speaker notifications
and publishing of the schedule.
ACEU08: Planning meeting is expected to happen in Atlanta, the weekend
before ACUS. CFP will probably open September 14th, running for six
weeks (til October 26th).
