Hello everyone!

I hope this email finds you well. I hope everyone is as excited about ApacheCon as I am!

I'd like to remind you all of a couple of important dates, as well as ask for your assistance in spreading the word! Please use your social media platform(s) to get the word out! The more visibility, the better ApacheCon will be for all!! :)

CFP Close: February 12, 2016
CFP Notifications: February 29, 2016
Schedule Announced: March 3, 2016

To submit a talk, please visit: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp

        *Apache: Big Data North America 2016 Registration Fees:*

*Attendee Registration Fee: *US$599 through *March 6*, US$799 through April 10, US$999 thereafter

	That's not a whole lot of time for people who need to secure funding
	and/or approval to ATTEND the event.  Yes, for attendees who are
	presenters, or who have a standing ability to register, it probably
	doesn't matter.  But for those of us (especially academics) who have
	to share the content/abstracts of scheduled sessions with those who
	decide whether to permit and/or fund our attendance, three days (over a
	WEEKEND even) are nowhere near enough time to present the
	justifications and secure the necessary support.   It slams those
	who can least afford it with an additional $200 just because we have
	to beg for it.


*Committer Registration Fee:* US$275 through April 10, US$375 thereafter
*Student Registration Fee:* US$275 through April 10, $375 thereafter

	And no, I'm not talking about STUDENTS.  When I say "academics" I'm
	talking about staff members responsible for running installations of
	Apache projects in production shops at academic institutions.


Planning to attend ApacheCon North America 2016 May 11 - 13, 2016? There is an add-on option on the registration form to join the conference for a discounted fee of US$399, available only to Apache: Big Data North America attendees.

So, please tweet away!!

I look forward to seeing you in Vancouver! Have a groovy day!!
