Status report for the Apache Conference Planning Project
Please forgive me emailing this without a formal signoff from Ken/the
concom PMC - Ken's been out of action a bit lately because of his
back, and the deadline was looming a bit.
J Aaron is working with Charel & Frazier on our websites. He's done a
great job on www.ossummit.com, and is being very diligent in his
hat-swapping. The new website for us.apachecon.com is pretty much
ready to go. At the moment the hold up is upgrading Stone
Circle's Media Temple account to a dedicated virtual server (the
current account can't handle more than one Rails app at a time). Once
the new virtual server is available, he'll get the site deployed so we
can open up registration.
With two conferences now being our annual minimum, concom has decided
to split into 'teams' per event - the team for ACUS07 includes Ken,
Noel, and Lars; Rich is heading up this group. OS Summit Asia has a
slightly smaller ASF team, since it's being run in conjunction with
Eclipse - J Aaron, Justin and Noirin are keeping things going there.
Talks for ACUS07 have been selected and scheduled, and speaker
notifications have been sent. Speaker agreements/contracts haven't
gone out yet.
The new website will include timetable and registration information,
as soon as it goes up.
The CFP for OS Summit Asia is officially closed; although there were
one or two last minute reports of issues with the submission forms, it
looks like there won't be a need to extend it. The Eclipse team will
select their talks over the next couple of weeks - the ASF planners
will be meeting in LA the weekend of August 11th/12th for session
selection. This means a slight delay in notifications, but
unfortunately it wasn't possible to get everyone together before that.
ACEU is over for another year, and despite an attempted drowning,
there were no major mishaps.
