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.

ApacheCon Miami is going to be our best ApacheCon yet, and you, and your project, can’t afford to miss it. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@apache.org VP, Conferences http://apachecon.com @apachecon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@hadoop.apache.org
