Guys, let's show up for Apache Logging! They're hurting for CFP's
right
now. Rich Bowen at ApacheCon assures me that if money is an issue
getting
committers to come and lead talks, the Travel Assistance Committee
will do
everything it can to help you get there. Email them at
t...@apache.org.
I'm definitely going and I'll submit a CFP as well. I'm open to
suggestions. Let's try to get 3-5 good Apache Logging talks in from
different people! If we can get two PMC members to come, we can even
have a
summit, which would be great exposure! We need to coordinate so that
we're
covering different topics and not stepping on each other.
I NEED A ROOMMATE AND YOU DO, TOO! Hotel is the biggest expense for
this--more than flights and committer registration combined. I'm
looking
for someone who wants to go and is willing to share a hotel room and
split
the cost. If we can get 4 Logging guys there, we can use just 2 hotel
rooms
and save a bunch of money. I plan on flying in Sunday night and
checking
out of the hotel Friday morning--that's five nights. If someone can
only
share the hotel for 3 nights, we can split the price accordingly.
Inline below I have included the answers I got to some questions I
asked
Rich.
I hope some of you will come to ApacheCon with me! It'll be a great
opportunity to publicize Log4j 2.0 GA!

- What exactly is a project summit?
Rich: Some projects are taking the opportunity to have a "summit" of
one
kind or another, to do sprints on features, or to discuss the
direction of
the project, or to do bug triage, or whatever. A project summit is
whatever
you want to make it, if two or more members of the PMC are together
in a
room to make it happen.
- What exactly is a tutorial and how is it different from a talk on
the
normal days?
Rich: A talk is 50 minutes. A tutorial is 3 hours. That's the main
difference. A tutorial is usually more indepth, with hands-on
elements -
more of a training class than an overview.
I noticed the fee is normally $799 (until Friday, then $1099), but
it's
$275 for "committers." That means that anyone who's a committer on
any
Apache project whatsoever /only/ pays $275 to attend the entire
conference,
right?
Rich: That's correct.
The registration page says there is an additional fee for tutorials
on
April 10th: "$399 for 1/2 day tutorials ($299 for students) and $749
for full
day tutorials (students and attendees)." What it doesn't say is:
1) Is there an additional fee for tutorials on April 10th for
/committers/?
Rich: Yes, tutorials have a fee for everyone.
2) Is there an additional fee for tutorials on April 11th for anyone
(it
only mentions April 10th, but the schedule shows tutorials on April
11th as
well)?
Rich: We'll get that fixed.
3) Is there an additional fee for project summits on April 10th or
11th?
Rich: Project summits are usually open to anyone interested in the
project, and no extra fee is charged.
It says they will have 5-9 tracks going on this year. I assume that
means 5-9 conference rooms (based on the # of CFPs submitted), which
means
5-9 simultaneous talks can occur.
Rich: That is correct.
It sounds like there is potentially time to have multiple talks on
Apache Logging. Though I am new-ish, I'd love to present on behalf of
Apache Logging. Do we want to have multiple talks?

Hi folks,
I would like to remind you ApacheCon is happening in April 2014.
If you would like to submit your talk, now is the chance.
I think it would be great to have somebody presenting our Logging
frameworks.
I will not be there unfortunately.
Regards,
Christian
