Yes, Virginia, there’s still time to get a great deal on ApacheCon with the super Early Bird discount, which now really truly will expire on Friday, August 29th. Given the gas crisis, early airfares are still your best bet so be sure to book travel soon.
Don’t forget our special Voluntourism day, the following Saturday, November 8th after the conference. We’ll be working with a local New Orleans charity to help do some good in the physical world working in their city, to help match all the good that the ASF does in the electronic world.
Special note for those who’ve had issues registering last weekend: fixes have been applied, so if you haven’t finished registering yet, please try again
Is it just me, or did the most recent ApacheCon get notably less blog coverage than past years? I feel really silly mentioning this, given that I have at least 3 blog ideas from Amsterdam that I still haven’t written up myself, but it seemed a little odd.
Now I have to admit, I haven’t done any significant research, other than reading PlanetApache. Did a lot more people just twitter or use alternative media, or did they just not blog as much as in past years? I don’t see it as being a size thing, since we had great attendance in Amsterdam this year. Could it be a Europe vs. America thing, in terms of who was attending? Or am I just being overly sensitive?
Just curious.
Geir’s blog says it so eloquently. Read the open letter and recall the ASF won last year.

Wow, time flies when you’re busy – I was going to complain that PlanetApache has been so quiet this week, but I look at my own online activity, and it’s pretty much limited to working emails and occasional tweeting. And I think it’s Friday already, although I’m not quite sure.
ApacheCon has been going great; lots of people to see, delicious (if expensive) food, and lots of late nights. Unfortunately for those helping to run the conference, there really isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done. So I’m going to collapse for a few hours, then work on planning for the next ApacheCon later today and tomorrow…
You can see what’s happening with our live video streaming partner… Keynotes are sent out free.
Registration is open; the line has finally died down. Continental breakfast is available for trainings and registered hackathon attendees. Drat, I forgot to take a picture before people swooped in.
Key notes for travelers: the coffee is caffeinated, and the small hot pitchers are hot water for tea; the large ones are coffee. Almost everyone is tired this morning, even a number of the local travelers. One gentleman from Seattle was surprisingly chipper for having arrived yesterday. Personally, I’m somehow adjusted, and even woke up at 07:30 this morning myself, without an alarm. And with enough sleep, too!
There’s still a few more hours to submit for the next ApacheCon, this November in New Orleans. We’ll have plenty of space, and we’re looking for new ideas, so submit your talks now!
Note: late submissions will still be accepted, although depending on the timing they may be more difficult to schedule.
And now, back to our new channel: ApacheCon Europe is starting! I hear the coffee cups clinking and keyboards tapping as I type…
