ApacheCon news

Greetings! This message is being sent to several of the Apache mailing lists in order to reach the broadest possible audience of people interested in the Apache packages. Future messages will be almost entirely confined to the (low-volume) ApacheCon announcement list, though, so if you want to *stay* informed, subscribe to it by sending an empty message to
<announce-subscribe@ApacheCon.Com>.

Please read BOTH of the following paragraphs..

I have good news! The Apache Software Foundation has completed the search for a conference management company for the ApacheCon shows, and we are getting back on track right now. More information will be forthcoming, but here's a quick point that may be of interest
<grin>: Registration for the next ApacheCon will be well under US$1,000!

We need some feedback from you: If we hold the next ApacheCon at the beginning of August 2002, in Las Vegas, Nevada, do you think you'll attend?

We're asking because we're looking at the first full week of August, which would allow us to have ApacheCon right after the BlackHat and Def Con computer security conferences (<URL:http://www.blackhat.com/> and <URL:http://www.defcon.org/>), also in Las Vegas around the same time. However, the USENIX Security conference in San Francisco is also happening then, the O'Reilly open-source convention is in San Diego in July, and LinuxWorld is in San Francisco in the middle of August. No matter where you look, the event schedule is crowded.

So, with all those conferences so close together, would you come to ApacheCon? We don't want to pick a date and venue and then not have enough people able to attend!

Please let us know by replying to <coar@Apache.Org>.

Stay tuned, and thanks for your support and patience!
