Re: FOSDEM Apache Developer Room ?
Thanks Isabel. I think we could provide some great content for the main tracks. I'm still thinking about the devroom name. The Apache brand is a strong one so I'd going to incorporate our name in there somehow Thanks Sharan On 15/09/17 05:06, Isabel Drost-Fromm wrote: Hi, In light of this discussion I reached out to the organisers of the FOSDEM main tracks asking if they were interested in how things are being run at the ASF.

This information is important as Dev rooms are entirely self organised and independent from each other as well as independent from main tracks.

Hi, In light of this discussion I reached out to the organisers of the FOSDEM main tracks asking if they were interested in how things are being run at the ASF. They asked me to "Please encourage any potential speakers you can think of to respond to our call for papers with proposals: https://fosdem.org/2018/news/2017-09-03-call-for-participation/ " So if anyone of you would like to be at FOSDEM, please also consider submitting not only to dev rooms but to the main track as well.

Re: Brief Update – Solutions Hamburg
Hey all, We had a lot of fun, and really enjoyed the conference. Associating local speakers with local conferences might be a reasonable way to fulfill the use cases of ApacheCon EU. It has the advantage that we can reach more non-Apache people this way. One interesting thing that happened during Mark's microservices talk: Three people came in a little late, and one of them popped up in front to start translating Mark's talk into sign-language. There were actually two translators and they traded off through the talk to give each other a break. That was fun and interesting to watch.

Brief Update – Solutions Hamburg
Hi Everyone Last week we had 3 days of Apache presentations at the Solutions Hamburg conference (in Hamburg :-). And although the weather was quite wet I think we all had fun. We had 9 speakers at the event including Greg Stein who was invited to give one of the keynotes. Our planned schedule was as follows Developer Day: - Apache Mynewt - ASF First Embedded OS Project â Justin McClean - Das groÃe Apache Enterprise und Microservice Puzzle - Mark Struberg - Apache Commons - Beyond StringUtils - Benedikt Ritter - Using Structured Streaming in Apache Spark 2.2 Jacek Laskowski DevOps Day - Security around the Hadoop ecosystem - Lars Francke - Developing and Releasing an Open Source Microservices architecture - Myrle Krantz - Deep Dive Into Structured Streaming in Apache Spark 2.2 - Jacek Laskowski - SCADA Systeme mit Apache Software Entwickeln - Christofer Dutz Apache Foundation Day - Hat Open Source Recht? - Mark Struberg - The Apache Way - Sharan Foga - The Apache Incubator: Raising up projects to raise up the world - Justin McClean & Myrle Krantz - Wie funktioniert die Apache Software Foundation? - Christofer Dutz Chris had attended this conference before and gave us some information on what to expect. The room we were given was at the university campus where most of the technical talks were held. Most of the talks were in German but there were some (including a few of ours in English). We understand that 5000 tickets had been sold for the event yet attendance was a bit mixed and the most popular of our talks were the microservices related ones with around 20 people. I think Mark's talk about open source licensing also attacted a few people and questions. We found that the early morning sessions and the last sessions of the day tended not to have many attendees so in a couple of cases we decided to run our own adhoc sessions. I did a talk on The Apache Way and thought that I didn't have enough content to fill 75 minutes but it is amazing how quickly the time goes - and I only just about made it! The organisers were great and provided us with lots and lots of food, a special barista for coffee, a speaker evening event in a bunker and an end of conference party that was out of this world! We did have some issues with transport between the two conference sites and will be providing this as feedback to the conference organisers. We also need to do a bit of a lessons learned review of what worked and what we could do better next time. This was the first time at this event so it would be good to talk about how we could improve our participation and attract more attendees. Huge thanks to Myrle Krantz and Chris Dutz for their work in organising, facilitating and generally liaising with the conference organisers. Also thanks to the other speakers â it was good to meet, chat and generally hang out with you all.
