FOSDEM is a volunteer run, 10k event in a university using lecture and seminar 
rooms for talks, not a high profile event in an expensive hotel. If you want to 
talk over food in a quiet area you should book time with sponsors ahead of time 
off campus in some nice restaurant.

Hope this helps,

Perhaps a 2 hour block for something to discuss meritocracy and
sponsorship with a social edge. Are we able to have food and drink in
the room?  Wine and beer and cheese or something might be nice for
fundraising.  Advice appreciated.

Hi All

I have started to put some details together for the FOSDEM devroom
request on the wiki.

https://s.apache.org/XBKX

Please feel free to take a look and let me have any comments or
feedback. As you will see, it is still a work in progress so I will
continue to work on it over the next few days.

We have the option of a half day, full day or both days.  A two day
track would need around 16 hours of content so we'd need to be sure we
could fill this otherwise I could select one day (as half a day seems
is a little too short I think!)

Although the submission deadline is 20th September it is always good

to

get it done earlier so will aim for the 18th :-)

Thanks
Sharan

Who is asking you to obey that?

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

Re: FOSDEM Apache Developer Room ?

2017-09-14 Thread Isabel Drost-Fromm 
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. Talks tend to be routed to 
relevant rooms if declined though frab anyway.

Why is having a main track cool: back when I did mine that included travel and 
lodging covered plus speaker dinner.

Re: Brief Update – Solutions Hamburg

2017-09-14 Thread Myrle Krantz 
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.

Greets,
Myrle

Brief Update – Solutions Hamburg

2017-09-14 Thread Sharan Foga 
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 – Justin McClean 
- Das große 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 – it was good to meet, chat and generally hang out with 
you all.

Thanks
Sharan
