Introduction

Wiki MarkupThe Apache OpenOffice project has the opportunity to propose and manage a 'conference within a conference' as proposed on May 8th. \ [[1]\]
On the apachecon-discuss list there is a more extensive discussion covering the broader ApacheCON EU topic. \ [[2]\]

For the overall ApacheCON there is space for about 500 people. There are over three levels of meeting space in the Arena. One level can hold either 300 in one track, or 3*100 tracks, the other either 200 or 2*100.

Audiences may gather on multiple levels, and share a common stage/screen for viewing. This would be ideal for keynotes and larger sessions.

Wiki MarkupI made a proposal for an 'OpenOffice Conference' on the apachecon-dicuss list..within the ApacheCON EU overall conference, or a 'Conference-within-a-Conference' concept. \ [3\]

Wiki MarkupToday, June 20th, I responded to an invitation on the Apachecon-discuss list to submit a proposal for our 'track', as 'Conference-within-a-Conference'. \ [4\]  You can see the results of my submission and others collected in a Google Doc here.\[5\]  You can see the results of my submission and others collected in a Google Doc here.[5]

Please take a look at this proposal. It is just that a 'proposal' intended to get out planning process more fully engaged. Everything I submitted is open to edit/change/add/delete etc. You will see that I self-nominated to be Chair and asked Juergen Schmidt if he would be the 'backup chair', or Co-Chair. We are placeholders in these roles for now subject to the community's approval.

CFP

Wiki Markup
We are still waiting for the ConComm to start the CFP process. In the meantime, Ross, as our mentor, is offering to support this proposal and is encouraging us to move forward with our planning. \[6\]

Wiki MarkupThe ASF announced the opening for the CFP \[7\]The ApacheCon Europe team has opened the CFP process via the http://apachecon.eu site. Deadlines for submissions is now August 13, 2012. 

Proposals may be submitted via the new ApacheCon web site: http://www.apachecon.comeu/cfp/

ConComm has contracted with Open Bastion for managing the ApacheCON North America event. They may become involved in the EU event as well, and/or share a common system for managing the CFP process. It's not clear at this time.

...

Engage with the ApacheCON team and volunteer to jury the submissions. As soon as the ConComm team opens up the CFP system, we'll be able to have a number of volunteers review and select the best submissions. . As of August 1st this has not happened, but is expected soon.

Coordinate with Complementary Projects?
