Hi Ignasi

Thanks very much for following up with this.

Jim volunteered to do the keynote and I followed up with him again to check and he confirmed that he was still available and happy to do it.

Thanks
Sharan

Hi!

I had a phone call with the organizers of the Expo and concreted most
of the details about the spaces, talks, etc. Here are the relevant
bits to the ASF participation in the event:

* We've been offered to do a Keynote in English (30-45 min), in a room
for ~400 people capacity.
* A 30 minutes talk, in Spanish in a room for ~60/70 people.
* A 30 minutes debate (preferably in Spanish but English is OK) in an
open space. This space has no projector, etc. It is more for an open
debate and Q/A.

These three are pre-arranged talks for the ASF, but there will be a
Call for Papers where talk proposals can be submitted by anyone
interested in participating.

As discussed with them, it would be awesome if the Keynote and talk
could be about the ASF itself, the Apache Way, and about how to apply
the Apache Way principles to the corporate world. One of the things we
detected last year is that people were familiar with different Apache
projects but many didn't even know there was a foundation behind them,
so it would be good to explain who we are, where we come from and what
we do.

The incubation and mentoring topics we talked about could be good
candidates for the open debate and Q/A: challenges to face when
starting an OSS project, how to build a community, OSS strategies,
etc.


I'll be happy to do the Spanish talk. We need one volunteer for the
Keynote and at least another for the debate.


Thank you all!


I.

P.S. I'll share further details on the call for papers as soon as I have them.

Hi!

This is just a quick follow-up email.

We told the OpenExpo organizers about the people we have for the
event, but we are still waiting for their confirmation about the exact
talks, format, duration, etc. As soon as we have their feedback we'll
come back to you with all the details so everyone can prepare their
stuff, trips, etc.

I hope we have everything we need to know asap!


I.

Hi,

Being a native spanish speaker I would love to help too, with a talk
related to Apache / Mentoring / Open Source in general, or one on the
project I am a committer.

And of course I can also help with the booth too. I suppose giving
info in the native language would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi Jim

If you are interested in the presentation slot then that can be in
English or Spanish. I know that they are trying to include more English
speaking content in their programme.
Thanks

Hi Everyone

Here is an update about our involvement in the Open Expo
Conference in Madrid later this year. We are actively looking for speakers
to present and talk at the event as well as volunteers to help out on the
Apache booth.
A few people are already writing some articles for the Open Expo
ebook that is due to be published soon that looks at open source trends for
2018. (And thanks to all the people who volunteered to write something)
Last year the conference was held on one day, but for 2018 it is
scheduled over two days 6th and 7th June.  You can find out more
information on their website.
https://openexpoeurope.com/en/

In preparation for the conference later this year , we have been
offered the following:
Presentation Slot
We have been allocated a 30 minute presentation slot on 6th June
2018. We can choose the content and the presentation can be in English or
in Spanish.
If you would like to present at the conference then please let me
know. (Jan or Ignasi – if either of you are interested in doing then
please let me know as you have experience of the conference already!)
Talent Acquisition
They will have a Open Talent Acquisition area where people can do
a short presentation and talk about what they are looking for. In the case
of the ASF, the organisers suggested that we could talk about what the ASF
is looking for when selecting projects for incubation.
So we are looking for someone who can talk about incubation at the
conference and in Spanish (as I would guess would be best)
Mentoring
They have a start up and community village and would like someone
(or mulitple people :-) from the ASF to talk about mentoring and things
like how to manage a community, how to contribute to a community etc
So we are looking for someone (or people) who can help us with
this at the conference. Once again I think Spanish is going to be a
pre-requsite because of the conference audience.
General Networking
They are offering us an opportunity to network with the Spanish
community at their event. I remember from the last event that we were keen
to promote Apache in Spain and try and get a bigger profile so this could
be a good way to do it.
So we are looking for someone who can help with this activity
during the conference.

Apache Booth
We have been offered an Apache booth at the event. Unfortunately I
won't be able to attend this event so we are looking for other people who
are interested in being on the booth during the event. (Last year all booth
volunteers got access to their VIP lounge for free food and drinks :-)
If you can help out with any of our requests then please respond.
The OpenExpo is a free conference so if you are planning to go along or
would like to help out then please let me know.
Thanks
Sharan
