Hi All
We are looking for volunteers to do some short short talks on the
Foundation and our upcoming EU Roadshow at the Re:publica conference in
Berlin on 2nd - 4th May 2018. Newthinking, the company that is helping
organise our the Apache EU Roadshow this year will have a booth at the
Re:publica event that will also have a small area to run talks for
audiences of approx 20-30 people. The idea is to promote both FOSS
Backstage and the Apache EU Roadshow events. Re:publica is a well
attended conference with average attendance numbers of around 9000, so
this could be a good opportunity to promote Apache in general and the EU
Roadshow.
You can the full details of the request below and the main points are as
follows
* Conference Website : https://re-publica.com/en
* Date: 2^nd - 4^th May 2018.
* Location: Berlin
* Talk Topics: Apache EU Roadshow, Apache Software Foundation
* Talk Format: Presentation with Q&A, Panel Discussion etc
The talk format is open, so if several people are interested, we could
also include do a panel discussion, but the main thing is that we need
is someone there to promote the EU Roadshow. :-)
Please let me know if you are interested and available to participate.
Thanks
Sharan

Hello Sharan,
as you probably heard today from my colleague Paul Berschick, I'm
organizing the newthiking stand at the re:publica conference on May, 2-4
and would like to invite you (or another Apache representative) to be a
part of our stand program there.
Re:publica <https://re-publica.com/en/> is the biggest European
conference on digital culture (9000 + visitors last year), covering a
multitude of topics pertaining to digitalization, from the legal aspects
over politics to fashion. Here
<https://17.re-publica.com/en/17/sessions>'s the last year's schedule if
you want to take a look.
We will have a stand in the sponsoring area with our own program. Our
goal is mainly to present our upcoming projects, including FOSS
Backstage and, hopefully, Apache Roadshow as our partner. Although it
will only be a stand and not an official stage, we will be a part of the
official re:publica program. We expect to have 20-30 people visiting
each talk, depending on the topic. As for the FOSS Backstage, we are
planning to have a talk on the basic aspects of FOSS and the importance
of the conference as well as two additional talks from the conference
speakers and FOSS community members in Berlin. If you set the room
filter for 'newthinking' here
<https://17.re-publica.com/en/17/sessions>, you can take a look at our
program last year.
It would be great if there would be someone to introduce Apache
Roadshow. Depending on your interest and availability we could provide
you more than one slot there for more specific talks. Nevertheless, as
the re:publica is not necessarily tech-specific, the talks should be
quite generous and not too tech-y. The duration is about 20 min + 10
more min for Q&A. We are open for other formats, e.g. discussion panels,
workshops, etc. that could then last longer. Please let me know if
you're interested. I would appreciate if you could share this with
Apache community as well.
Looking forward to your feedback.
All the best,
Ekat
