Dear Apache Member, Over the past few months, we’ve been working to cancel our conference venue in New Orleans, and move ApacheCon online. This has encountered a number of obstacles. If you’ve ever planned an event, you know that this wasn’t just a question of deciding not to hold the event. I presume a few of you have seen my board reports during this period. I appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked through these difficulties. We are pleased to announce that ApacheCon @Home will be held online, September 29 through October 1, and announcements about this will be going out to the larger community very soon. More event details are available at https://apachecon.com/acah2020 but there’s a few things that I want to highlight for you, the members. Yes, the CFP has been reopened. It will be open until the morning of July 13th. With no restrictions on space/time at the venue, we can accept talks from a much wider pool of speakers, so we look forward to hearing from those of you who may have been reluctant, or unwilling, to travel to the US. Yes, you can add your project to the event, whether that’s one talk, or an entire track - we have the room now. Those of you who are PMC members will be receiving information about how to get your projects represented at the event. Attendance is free, as has been the trend in these events in our industry. We do, however, offer donation options for attendees who feel that our content is worth paying for. Sponsorship opportunities are available immediately at https://www.apachecon.com/acna2020/sponsors.html If you would like to volunteer to help, we ask that you join the plann...@apachecon.com mailing list and discuss it there, rather than here, so that we do not have a split discussion, while we’re trying to coordinate all of the things we have to get done in this very short time window. Rich Bowen, VP Conferences, The Apache Software Foundation -- Best Regards Jeff Zhang
