Hi All Those of you at ApacheCon NA 2011 in Vancouver may remember me standing on stage, announcing some provisional information on ACEU12, and saying more information on ApacheCons for Europe and North America would be along soon.... It's been a little while longer than hoped, but we do now have some firm announcements! Firstly, for Europe, SAP have kindly agreed to host us in Sinsheim, Germany on the week of the 5th-9th November 2012, for ApacheCon Europe 2012. We've got the venue confirmed, but we still need to decide on the many things, so please get involved in the organising if you can! (Details on getting involved below) Secondly, for North America, following the RFP we've accepted a proposal from Open Bastion (producers of DjangoCon and PyCon) to run our next ApacheCon North America! The plan is for the event to happen in early 2013, likely in Portland, we'll be able to confirm the details shortly (once contracts are all signed). Again, we need people to help get involved in organising this too! The initial discussions and planning for both events will be taking place together, on the new-ish public list <[email protected]> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-apachecon-discuss/ We need organisers who can help with the planning, with talk selection and track allocations, to help with planning non-talk events (hackathons, meetups, new kinds of sessions etc), as well as those able to help out on the ground. Please get involved if you're interested and able! To get involved, send an email to <[email protected]> in the usual way, and we'll look forward to seeing you get involved there soon!
