ApacheCon US 2008 is coming up soon... next week in fact!
The main event is the conference on Wed-Fri, with the OFBiz Symposium
taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. There are various other events
going on Monday and Tuesday, including 2 training course for OFBiz.
I'm including details about these below (also available at
http://us.apachecon.com/c/acus2008/schedule/trainings)
.
I'm pleased to announce that Hotwax Media is offering a "scholarship"
for those who would like to attend. This is a 50% discount on either
of the two training sessions.
The "super-secret", "just-for-you" discount code is: HWM50
You can register (and see more conference information) at:
http://us.apachecon.com/c/acus2008/Actually, it's not so secret and it's for as many people as would like
to attend. Please share it with anyone you think might be interested
(clients, coworkers, bosses, random people you meet in the coffee
shop, whoever).
On a side note: thank you for registering right away as we're trying
to get numbers on these and get materials prepared and such.
See you in St. Louis! Oh wait, that was the conference a couple of
years ago... See you in New Orleans!
