Re: Apache Booth at FOSDEM
I would love to help. Do we have our usual wiki page for coordinating volunteers? Thanks, Roman.

Re: ApacheCon 2018
Just to update people, I've typed up some ramble of thoughts and sent a feeler out to George Mason. Nothing heard back yet but it's finals and winter break so I'll ping them soon. Regards, KAM Talk to him about space for 200 people for a 1 day event. Hosted by GMU Get a new generation of Students interested in OSS Invite sponsors to have simple tables. Can be sponsors of CARE, people looking to recruit talent, Cyber firms and Computer Companies Dinner party to thank sponsors, hosts & speakers the night before 1 day, 2 tracks, 12 presentations with a keynote and key end. Rough Ideas for Tracks: Keynote Tracks: 1 track on Apache Way 1 track on CARE 2 tracks on OSS in Federal and State Government 3 tracks on Apache related projects 3 tracks on CARE/VSE related items 2 tracks on Cybersecurity Endnote Estimate 200 Attendees. Will need to serve lunch and have 2 rooms that are designed for 100 people. Should also have a room or two for people chat/charge laptops, etc. and a way to bring in a fairly simple lunch. Something like a Panera boxed lunch would be ideal. - First step identify space and cost - Identify how many sponsors we need to cover the cost - Keep costs to attendees minimal but NOT free to promote RSVPs still showing up - Our goal is a highly educational low-cost event that will draw students, government and open source experts from around the world for a miniApacheCon 2018. - If space allows for 300+ and a few more rooms, we can discuss something 2-3 days as a full ApacheCon 2018.

Re: Paris Open Source Summit 2017 Update
Thanks Sharan, Indeed, very detailed :) Thanks also to all the guys who supported this effort Jacques Le 17/12/2017 à 19:14, Kevin A. McGrail a écrit : Awesome recap. Thanks to everyone who helped. Regards, KAM On December 17, 2017 12:29:49 PM EST, Sharan Foga wrote: Hi All Sorry for the delay in getting this update out to you all, but this year's mega flu got me. Anyway a brief update on the Summit. I arrived on the Tuesday afternoon and went over to check out the location and start our booth setup. It was easy to find and people seemed to smile at the fact that we were located right next to the Libre Office stand. Early Wednesday morning, I arrived and started setting up our table, and not long after 9am people started coming in and dropping by our table. There was a main hall was divided into various areas focussing on ther different themes. For example our booth was in the Associations Village (for Open Source Foundations and non profits), as well as company booths, they also had a Legal Tech Village about the legal side or open source, Mobility, OW2, Innovations Village. A key focus this year was Africa and how open source is opening up new technology opportunities. Our Apache track ran on the Wednesday afternoon and the room we were given held a maximum 35 people. Our talks were a mix of French and English and attendance numbers varied from around 10 to 30. The most popular talk being Apache Spark! Most of the discussions were in French and even though I haven't really spoken French for a while â it sort of came back (well I think it did :-). One of the most common questions we were asked is 'Does Apache have a local company in France?' And each time we have to explain that the Apache community is everywhere. Thanks very much to our speakers (Bertrand, Luciano, Martin, Ismael, and Olivier). Thanks also to everyone who helped out on the booth. Big thanks to Bertrand seemingly effortlessly did 3 talks at this event, (a keynote, an ASF track one and a community track talk!) There was also a talk on Apache Dremio on one of the other tracks that we didn't know about until the day. A super special mention and kudos to Herve Boutemy and Olivier Heintz who spent most of both days working on the ASF booth with me! Thanks very much to Emmanuel (our Paris insider who found us a nice restaurant in the centre and organised a dinner for us all). We did have a scanning application to try and capture the number of people we were interacting with and in total myself and Herve scanned 120 people but this really didnt reflect the total number of people that really came along. The event attracts around 6000 attendees and we definitely saw a lot more than 120 people over the two days. I heard that this is the first time they have tried out this new conference format and I think that it works very well. I hope we get invited to participate again next year! We also made some new contacts and the ASF has been invited to participate in another Paris based open source conference which will be English content only. I took a few photos so will try and get those posted on our Facebook page soon.

Hi All The list of booths has also been published and it it great to see that we have yet again been allocated one. We will be looking for volunteers to help out on the booth so if you are planning to come along then please consider giving an hour of your time to help out. The greater project coverage the better as we often have people wanting to talk about specific projects.
