Hi! I apologize for the wide distribution, but since my email to general@ didn't seem to have reached all of the podling communities, I took the liberty of direct email. Here's the deal:
If you are (or anybody you know who's passionate about your project is) going to travel to Vancouver for ApacheCON we've got an awesome opportunity for you to showcase your project. Even if you don't have talks scheduled in the regular program, consider doing a lighting talk at Podling Shark Tank: https://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ACEU16PodlingSharkTank You've got nothing to lose (in fact, the opposite: you're likely to get a prize!) and you will get a chance to receive feedback that might actually help you grow your community and ultimately graduate to the TLP status. Given our awesome panel of judges: * Jim Jagielski * Shane Curcuru * Milind Bhandarkar We guarantee this to be a fun and useful event for your community! Please sign up on the wiki ASAP. The time is running out! Thanks, Roman. P.S. If you have *any* questions whatsoever, but especially if you have questions on logistics please email me directly.
