ApacheCon Miami

[Sharan Foga]

Hi Everyone

I've finally got back home after being at ApacheCon in Miami last week. 
As usual ApacheCon is an amazing and intense event where you meet so 
many people in such a short space of time.


This ApacheCon was especially busy for me which is why I haven't been so 
active on our lists. As well as my presentation, I was invited to 
participate on a panel. Generally I help out with the Barcamp and the 
ASF booth and this time I also went around with my recorder doing some 
interviews for Feathercast. I still have a little jetlag but came back 
knowing even more people than before!


If you don't know about Feathercast then please take a look.

All the slides from the ApacheCon presentations should be available from 
the Linux Foundation website.

I understand that all presentations were audio recorded and the keynotes 
and some selected presentations were video recorded. Details of all the 
video sessions can be found at the link below.

BTW – my presentation was video recorded (and yes I was very nervous! 
;-)) so if you'd like to see it then it is on Youtube here..

It would be great to see more of our community at these events so I hope 
that we can get our community together at a future ApacheCon or other 
meetup event.


I will be at the OpenExpo in Madrid next 
week, so if anyone is going to be there then please drop by the ASF 
booth to say Hi or Hola!


Thanks
Sharan

Dear Apache enthusiast,

ApacheCon and Apache Big Data will be held at the Intercontinental in
Miami, Florida, May 16-18, 2017. Submit your talks, and register, at
http://apachecon.com/  Talks aimed at the Big Data section of the event
should go to
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp
while other talks should go to
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp


ApacheCon is the best place to meet the people that develop the software
that you use and rely on. It’s also a great opportunity to deepen your
involvement in the project, and perhaps make the leap to contributing.
And we find that user case studies, showcasing how you use Apache
projects to solve real world problems, are very popular at this event.
So, do consider whether you have a use case that might make a good
presentation.

ApacheCon will have many different ways that you can participate:

Technical Content: We’ll have three days of technical sessions covering
many of the projects at the ASF. We’ll be publishing a schedule of talks
on March 9th, so that you can plan what you’ll be attending

BarCamp: The Apache BarCamp is a standard feature of ApacheCon - an
un-conference style event, where the schedule is determined on-site by
the attendees, and anything is fair game.

Lightning Talks: Even if you don’t give a full-length talk, the
Lightning Talks are five minute presentations on any topic related to
the ASF, and can be given by any attendee. If there’s something you’re
passionate about, consider giving a Lightning Talk.

Sponsor: It costs money to put on a conference, and this is a great
opportunity for companies involved in Apache projects, or who benefit
from Apache code - your employers - to get their name and products in
front of the community. Sponsors can start any any monetary level, and
can sponsor everything from the conference badge lanyard, through larger
items such as video recordings and evening events. For more information
on sponsoring ApacheCon, see http://apachecon.com/sponsor/

So, get your tickets today at http://apachecon.com/ and submit your
talks. ApacheCon Miami is going to be our best ApacheCon yet, and you,
and your project, can’t afford to miss it.
