ApacheCon Reminders

ApacheCon US is coming up quickly. This year we’re trying a number of new things including the first ever BarCamp Apache, a co-located Hadoop Camp and the OFBiz symposium. That’s in addition to the tried and true collection of technical trainings and sessions. So if you haven’t yet, register.

Speaking of registering, have you registered to vote? If you’re a US voter, remember that ApacheCon (and the BarCamp Apache in particular) falls on election day. If you’re going to join us at the conference, make sure you remember to register for an absentee ballot. Many states’ deadlines come up on Monday, so don’t put this off.

And speaking of putting things off, we all know that nobody sends in their conference session proposals until the last minute. Well, don’t do that. The ApacheCon Europe 2009 call for papers is open. If you’ve got something exciting to share and teach in Amsterdam next March, then write it up and send it over.
