 Daniel,
As previously discussed on the OSCON thread, I have the big honkin 8x8 wall 
banner. Please give me your address and I'll send it to you.
Thanks,~M

 Hi, all;
   In an attempt to reduce tribal knowledge and make organizers' lives a
bit easier, I started gathering data about who's got what stuff where.
Having this info is very useful for booth duty, job fairs, etc that the
ASF participates in. The hope is that we can keep the info on this page
up to date in order to make life easier for organizers of such events.
Trevor will be handing off some stuff to me tomorrow which I will
inventory as an example.


So... do you have some stuff? If so, it would be terrific if you can
edit this page or just reply here and I will make the edits for you:

[Melissa Warnkin]

 Thanks, KAM. I need all the good karma (and prayers!) I can get!! ;) Dad had a 
really bad day yesterday and we ended up back in the ER; thankfully, he was 
released after four hours and has been doing better last night and today. I 
still have to do his dialysis and everything, but he's better today than 
yesterday. I pray and hold my breath every time I have to take his sugar level! 
<,deep breath!>
Anyway, enough about that...NOW...I know you were gone from us for awhile with 
health issues, but come on...I didn't know you were unable to walk, talk, or 
see. What the what?!?! Thank God you are better! Yea, this is all new to me, so 
I need to find a caregiver group to join, along with other support groups to 
help me with all of the different issues I'm facing with being the caregiver 
for BOTH of my parents! I do have a representative from "Visiting Nurses" (or 
whatever they're called) coming on Tuesday to speak with me about how they can 
help with dad. So, that's a start.
I'm so glad you're better. Big hugs.
~M

 Good karma your way.  Anything I can Amazon to you to make your day better
easier or brighter? Just ask.  I was unable to walk talk or see and
hospitalized at Johns Hopkins so I understand caregiver stress.  Talk to
other caregivers is my key advice. The hospital can likely put you in touch
with support groups which are more collective bitch sessions but it might
be nice to know others have similar issues.

 Thanks, Kevin. He's not doing very well today...:(. This is REALLY hard work 
being a nurse (without being a nurse!)! Home dialysis 4x a day, along with 
everything else he can't do on his own (which is pretty much everything)I'm 
wiped, and he's only been home two days! I think the mental stress is worse 
than anything, but I'm doing everything possible to take the best care of him 
that I can.
I guess God REALLY thinks I'm a strong-ass bitch to handle all of the crap he's 
been handing me this year!! I'm not so sure he's right?!?!? LOL But, I try to 
keep my sense of humor!! :) :) !!

[VOLUNTEERS NEEDED] for Apache Booth at All Things Open

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hey all,
Is anyone going to be attending ATO and available to set up/break down the 
booth? Spend some time at the booth?
The set up is on Sunday, October 22nd, from 12 - 6 and requires about 30 
minutes of your time. There will be our 8'x8' wall banner that you have to 
unpack and assemble, the pop-up banner, the table skirt that goes on the table 
(duh! ;) ), and swag to put on the table.
The breakdown is on Tuesday, October 24th, from 3 - 6.  This also requires 
about 30 minutes. Disassemble the banners and repackage them, fold the table 
skirt and repackage. Any leftover swag can be taken home with you or donated 
locally.
I will take care of all of the paperwork; all you have to do is unpack/repack. 
If anyone is available to assist, please let me know.
Event details here - https://allthingsopen.org/
October 23, 24, in Raleigh, NC
Thank you so much! Have a great rest of your day/weekend!

LAST CALL for travel assistance applications to ApacheCon Miami!!

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hi all!!,
This is a reminder that the travel assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 
2017 will close on March 8th!
TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but are 
unable to do so for financial reasons. For more info on this years applications 
and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at < 
http://www.apache.org/travel/ >. 
ApacheCon NA is split into two separate themed events - Apache Big Data  and 
ApacheCon.  There will be a hackathon and BarCamp on either end of the main 
conference; therefore, the Apache Travel Assistance Committee will only be 
accepting applications from those people that are able to attend all week.
Applicants have until March 8th to submit their applications (which should 
contain as much supporting material as required to efficiently and accurately 
process their request), this will enable TAC to announce successful awards 
shortly afterwards. 
We look forward to greeting many of you in Miami, Florida in May!
Kind Regards,  
~Melissa

Hi,

I'm actually not sure this is the right place to drop this random idea of mine, 
so feel free to forward/ redirect/ ignore.

I remember the poster with our project logos being very helpful at FOSDEM. 
After receiving stickers with short messages on team leadership principles 
recently I started wondering if in addition to our feather stickers it might 
make sense to print some with our core values + the feather.

Maybe I'm not the only one who would like to see stuff like "community over 
code", "what didn't happen on list didn't happen" on laptops in the wild? Iirc 
we had the community thingy embedded on a larger sticker on the past already.

The dates are, as shown on the website, May 16-18

The Traffic Server event -
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/extend-the-experience/ats-summit
- is on the Sunday and Monday before. Everything else is May 16-18.

The website is correct.

I expect that if you are there the evening before, there will be lots of
people there to hang out with, but there's nothing *official* planned.
Likewise for the day after.

ApacheCon NA 2017 Travel Assistance Applications Now Open!!

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hello Fellow Apache Enthusiasts!!
The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel 
assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2017 are now open!
We will be supporting ApacheCon NA, Miami, Florida, USA, May 16th - 18th, 2017.
TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but are 
unable to do so for financial reasons. For more info on this years applications 
and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at < 
http://www.apache.org/travel/ >. Applications are already open, so don't delay! 
 
ApacheCon NA is split into two separate themed events - Apache Big Data  and 
ApacheCon.  There will be a hackathon and BarCamp on either end of the main 
conference; therefore, the Apache Travel Assistance Committee will only be 
accepting applications from those people that are able to attend all week.
Important: Applications close on Wednesday, March 8, 2017.
Applicants have until the closing date above to submit their applications 
(which should contain as much supporting material as required to efficiently 
and accurately process their request), this will enable TAC to announce 
successful awards shortly afterwards. 
As usual, TAC expects to deal with a range of applications from a diverse range 
of backgrounds; therefore, we encourage (as always) anyone thinking about 
sending in an application to do so ASAP.  We look forward to greeting many of 
you in Miami, Florida in March, 2017!
Kind Regards,  
~Melissa

Hi people

The question is in the subject: It would just be interesting. Ok, many 
people allready know, I have a physical disability called ICP (Infantile 
cerebral palsy). I just want to know, if there are others.

I think, ASF could be a chance for disabled people to get work. The 
model of the ASF is perfect for this. You can get in without having any 
diplom or reference. Here everyone can get the chance.

I didn't take it as a potshot at all. I took it as how you meant itperhaps

Hi Everyone

The Women in Big Data (WiBD) presentation session has been arranged and 
committer Kathy Saunders will be presenting it. I think they also mentioned 
some other committers will be participating.

They are now looking at promoting the talk and are requesting permission to use 
the ASF logo for their publicity. The session is going to be called 'An Evening

Hortonworks

Will it be OK for them for use the ASF logo to promote this talk and put on

I can help with setup on Sunday night, and I can take booth duty for
all of Tuesday.

I'm a booth noob so I hope that someone will join me on Sunday.

Stop by and say hello, y'all. :)

Re: Help with task: Help ensure our events calendar is up to date and complete

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hi April,
Thank you for your email.  Please see below and let us know if you have any 
questions.
Helping out here is easy and is a task that can be dipped into periodically.

Take a look at http://comdev1-us-west.apache.org/events/, this is an 
application we use to gather information for 
http://www.apache.org/events/meetups.html

It's an automated process that will result in false positives at times. To 
remove the false positives we can do two things:

1) Mark a specific event as "not applicable" - which removes this one event
2) Mark an organizing group as "not applicable" - which prevents any future 
events organized by the same group appearing

To help with this process all we need is people to visit the page periodically 
and click the appropriate link on the right hand side.  The more people we have 
doing this the easier it is for all of us.

Moving forwards we need to improve the code driving this application. If you'd 
like to work with the code see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/tools 
(hopefully what you need to get started is in readme.md)

Hello Uli + team ComDev --I hope you are all well.

A quick heads-up that I was contacted by Luke Han [1], who is seeking to find 
ways to help him spread the word about Apache in China.

I pointed him to the ComDev pages, and he's interested in translating them, as 
well as possibly posting some entries on blogs.apache.org that can serve as 
resources for the region (and elsewhere as appropriate).

So my questions are:

1) any objections to the translation of http://community.apache.org/

2) I presume we'll work with Infra to have a link to the localized pages (IIRC, 
https://translate.apache.org/may be terminated/discontinued?)

3) if the above is acceptable, are you OK with specific, non-English, blog 
entries being posted about the concepts/topics in community.apache.org?

Thanks so much for this!

Please, learn about the GSoC programm first! Before the organizations

Hello,

I'm a community member and active contributor of an Apache project and I'd
like to volunteer to be a GSoC mentor this year. However, I'm not currently
an ASF committer or member.

I'd like to clarify if GSoC mentoring is strictly restricted to ASF
committers or can non-committers also volunteer to be mentors or co-mentors?

ps: I'm sending to this list as I didn't find a clear answer on

Re: Help Wanted! (it's a title, not a request!)

Hi Roman,
Thank you for participating in hackillinois and facilitating student 
contributions to the ASF projects! Super cool!!
Sooo...I got to thinking (I knooow...that's always dangerous!!), while you're 
there please spread the word about ApacheCon and TAC; we're trying to encourage 
more students to apply for TAC, so this is a perfect opportunity!! Although it 
won't be beneficial for this ApacheCon, it would still be helpful to spread the 
word!
Detailed information on the Travel Assistance can be found here:  
http://apache.org/travel/
Details on how to apply for travel assistance can be found here:  
http://apache.org/travel/#applying.
The TAC would very much appreciate it if you could spread the word.

Hi!

I wanted to amplify Ross' concerns, but I wasn't sure how to cast
it in an actionable way. As the luck would have it -- now I do. So
here's what I'm struggling with: as many of you should know by
now there's a live event schedule for Feb 19-21:
    http://hackillinois.org/opensource
    https://hackillinois.org/

Think of it as Google Summer of Code, but done live and on a much
more compressed schedule. I got invited there to help facilitate student
contributions to the ASF projects. I have a wide exposure to at least
Big Data ASF ecosystem so I can guide them through the basics and
I can help with mechanics of contributing to ASF. That's all good.

The only thing I can NOT do all by myself is figure out how different
ASF communities would like to leverage this free labor (and hopefully
build lasting relationships with some of these students). My thought was
to do what we typically do for GSoC -- reach out to all these communities
and suggest that they either tell me how to get the list of 'low hanging fruit'
JIRAs/ideas or suggest they tag the ones they would like me to offer
to students with 'hackillinois2016' tag. Pretty easy hand off.

Now with the http://helpwanted.a.o/entering the picture how do you suggest
I frame this ask I was about to send out today?

Thanks,
Roman.

My experience has always been that if you don't assign/schedule hours,
then it'll end up being one or two people that staff the entire event,
with everyone else assuming someone else had it covered. And, yes, that
has happened to me at FOSDEM as much as anywhere else. There's always 6
other places to be, and if someone isn't on a schedule, they have
nothing to tie them to it.

If no one bothers to move to the list, I'll start my proposals on this

Re: Could Apache Flink PMCs requests some ASF swags like stickers or frisbee for Flink Forward event?

[Melissa Warnkin]

Thanks, Sally.  Hey, Henry!
Yea, it's too late for me to ship anything out for Flink Forward as I leave 
tomorrow for ApacheCon; however, as Sally mentioned, hit me up at the booth 
near the end of the week and you can take all of the Apache gear that I have 
left over!

Hello Henry --thanks so much for your note.
Indeed, I *used* to manage the swag process, but this is now handled by Melissa 
and now comes from the ComDev budget.
If you don't need Flink-specific items, you're more than welcome to take 
whatever you'd like during ApacheCon. No doubt Melissa will be happy to not 
have to ship items back to the US ;-)
Should you need Flink items, we can print "Powered By Apache Flink" stickers, 
for example, as long as the art is forwarded to Melissa in time for production.
To that end, I've copied both Melissa and ComDev here to keep them in the loop. 
Thanks in advance, Melissa, for following up with Henry regarding next steps!

HI Sally,

Hope things are going well with you.

I am wondering if you are the right person to ask about this =)

There will be Flink Forward [1] conference this October in Berlin that
celebrates everything about Apache Flink and some of the PMCs will be
attending.

We were wondering if there is a way to get some ASF branded swags to
distribute them to Flink Forward attendees?

There will be ApacheCon Core and Big Data in Budapest, so maybe some
of us could pick the swags there if possible?


Thanks,


- Henry

Subject:[ASSISTANCE NEEDED] for OSCON

Good evening and Happy Friday!!
Due to medical reasons, I am unable to attend OSCON and "woman the booth"; 
therefore,  I am in need of someone that can replace me as the booth 
coordinator.
Crucial dates:
Exhibitor Move-in:  Monday, July 20th, from 8:00 - 5:00; Tuesday, the 21st, 
from 8:00 - Noon
Expo Hall Hours:  Tuesday, the 21st, from 5:00 - 6:00 for the opening 
reception; Wednesday, the 22nd, from 10:00 am - 4:30 and the booth crawl is 
from 5:40 - 7:00.
Exhibitor Move-out:  Thursday, the 23rd, from 5:00 - 9:00pm; Friday, the 24th, 
from 8:00 - Noon
Job responsibility:   
   - Set up and tear down the booth (an hour (tops) of work, if that, on both 
ends)  

   - Keep the table supplied with the giveaways (all boxes will be in the 
booth, so all you have to do is open them and set the items on the counter! And 
this year I have a new hanging banner to replace the honking 8'x8' monster wall 
banner that took two people to assemble!!)   

   - Coordinate with the others that have volunteered their time to assist with 
booth duty so that someone is at the booth at all times
   - Mingle, network, and have fun!!!
   - Eat, drink, and be merry!   

What's in it for you, you might ask?!:   
   - The pleasure of replacing me! ;) LOL
   - If you agree to be the coordinator and fulfill the roles as described 
above, The ASF will cover your travel and expenses, which also includes the 
hotel and expo hall registration, which allows you to attend all the evening 
events and lunches.
Please get back to me with your interest ASAP so that I can make the necessary 
arrangements.  Local folks strongly preferred (naturally) due to the lateness 
of this notice, and this offer does not apply to International folks (sorry - 
you all know that I love you, but we can't justify that expense!).
Your help is greatly appreciated.  I was just informed yesterday that I have to 
go in for surgery on the 22nd, hence the very late notice.
I already have several folks lined up for booth duty; however, they are 
attending OSCON with their day job, and so their main responsiblities are with 
their companies.
Please get back to me ASAP if you are able to help!!
Thank you so much!
~M

Hi Patrica,
Thank you so much for your offer.  I'm currently awaiting final confirmation

ApacheCon Europe dates incorrect in a "10times.com" article

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hey everyone,
My sister did a google search on ApacheCon, and the first result (on her 
machine, anyway) that popped up was from 10times.com.  She brought it to my 
attention that there are two sets of dates reflected in that announcement.  
Now, while I don't know who wrote this article, or if we need to make any 
changes, I at least wanted to bring it to ya'lls attention.

Copied from the article:
"The APACHECON Europe, organized by the The Linux Foundation will take place 
from 28th September to the 1st October 2015 at the Corinthia Hotel Budapest in 
Budapest, Hungary. ...
The Developers, Programmers, Committers and Users Driving This Innovation and 
Utilizing These Tools Will Meet in Budapest, November 17-21, for Collaboration, 
Education and Community Building."
Have a great day everyone!

Turns out it was an over-eager corp. marketing that
used sources unrelated to ACNA to figure out "who may
be interested in Geode" (whatever that means).

Apologies for the noise, my initial thought was exactly
along the lines of Melissa's note: whoever got scanned
(which in my mind would be a totally fair game). I now
confirmed it wasn't that.

Once again -- apologies. I tried to make it as clear
as possible that this is NOT cool. I really hope it
doesn't happen again (although we will scan your
badges if you want our swag ;-)).

Thanks,
Roman.

 Subject: RE: ACNA Presentation Template - Crunch
   
I am having a problem.

Because the background image in the ACEU14 set is all JPEG with no way to take 
it apart, I looked at the others on SourceForge.  They each have problem, 
especially with the name and location of the conference being bolted into the 
feather images as combined raster/JPEG images.

So I come back to the one from nick:

 1. The feather and typography about the conference are beautiful to me.

 2. It is designed for a dark background and that matters these days.

 3. The name of the conference is a slight problem because "North America" 
cannot fit in the style used for "Europe".

THE KEY PROBLEM

There are three versions of the background, varying where the logo goes and 
some small details.

The problem is that the three versions are each single JPEG files.  That is, 
the 
logo, and other components of each background are not separable components.

WHAT I NEED

If Nick has original graphics in which these are separated, especially vector 
graphics except for the building and overall background image that I will 
replace anyhow, I can move ahead quickly.  

If not I am seriously stuck.  Morphing the jpegs directly strikes me as a 
Waiting to Fail.  I would rather fail now, though I have no great Plan B.  And 
I love Nick's feather image.

I assume that is what I am working on.  I am adapting ACEU 2014 for ACNA 2015 
as easily as possible.

I assume that any IP issue is solved when the image is replaced.

I'm also assuming, based on silence, that this template was used and none had a 
problem with it.

If there is a particular place to upload it, I need to know about that too.

I don't have any particular opinion as to what's important to preserve. 
We're just looking for a template that has the logo, says ApacheCon

I'm sorry, I'm not a designer either. Last year I tossed the request

Always first weekend of February, always in Brussels at the ULB 
(http://www.ulb.ac.be/) It is a two day (Sat, Sun) event, but there are 
numerous events that orbit it, both before and after, both in Brussels 
and in surrounding cities, so it is a VERY high-bandwidth time to be in 
the area.

Upwards of 4000 geeks in attendance. Very community focused (as opposed 
to the corporate focus of may events like OSCON) and one of the oldest 
free software events in the world - may be the oldest. Event is free. 
And there are always lots of ASF people in attendance, although not 
usually wearing their Apache 'hats'.

What is needed in order for it to be scheduled? Is there something I need to do

Once this is fixed and listed on the website I'll mention it on oo-dev and

From the peanut gallery; Waiting for Rich means yet another two or three
days of displaying the wrong information on our websites, as I'm sure
he's quite busy at OSCON.

I have taken the liberty of making banners for ACEU14 and pushing them
to the site. They are neutral, follows the LF images and so forth. If
you don't like 'em, you can feel free to remove them again, but at this
point, I feel anything is better than displaying an advert for ApacheCon
NA that happened several months ago.

May Rich have mercy on my soul :)

GSoC Mentors - need a volunteer to speak w/Cat Allman from Google

[Melissa Warnkin]

GSoC Community:

Are there any GSoC mentors available next Wednesday at 9:30AM Pacific to jump 
on a call with Upayavira, Ross, myself and Cat Allman from Google? She would 
like to talk to past Apache GSoC mentors about their projects and experiences 
with the GSoC program.

Having the opportunity of providing your experience to the folks responsible 
for this program at Google is a great way of showing them the impact their 
sponsorship of GSoC has on the students!!

Please let me know who is available to share with us your success stories, and 
I will have Cat forward the call information.

Thank you so much

Re: Apache@ OSCON question

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hi Kay, Hi Andrea!!

You are correct - OSCON officially kicks off in one month!! WooHoo!!

I can make room on the table for pins.  When you refer to leaflet and roll-up 
designs, what is that and how much real estate would they take up? I cannot 
confirm that I can accommodate those items without first knowing how much room 
they would take.  I know you can understand and appreciate that.

At this time, I cannot confirm whether or not I will be able to provide 
complimentary expo hall passes; however, I do have an email out to my contact, 
but he has not responded as of yet.  There is a discount code for 20% off by 
entering this code at registration:  IHEARTASF.


Please let me know about the leaflet and roll-ups so I can determine if I can 
accommodate those items.

Thank you so much,
~M

OK. OSCON is only about a month out. So, if we decided to bring
anything, it would likely have to be from what we have available now. But...

... I have a question of Melissa. If anyone from OpenOffice attended to
help at the booth, would they need to pay an exhibitor registration fee?
Given the current state of of the OSCON conf site, I have no way of
determining what this amount might be.

Re: Apache@ OSCON question

[Melissa Warnkin]

Hi Kay,

What kind of project giveaways are you thinking of? Let me know - I'll be more 
than happy to accommodate this if I can.  Please be sure to contact brand 
management if approval is needed!!!

As Ross mentioned, I'm the primary booth staffer, but there are always a 
handful of volunteers that help at the booth (staffing during breaks/lunch and 
help with the setup/teardown).  Shane will be my sidekick at the booth this 
year.  If you or others from your project will be attending OSCON and would 
like to be present at the booth at a specific time to talk to the attendees, 
just let me know.  We could always send out a broadcast via social media about 
"stop by the ASF's booth at XXX to speak with the reps from Project XXX".  That 
goes for the other projects as well!!

It's always great to have someone from the community at the booth to answer 
technical questions!!

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Have a great day - speak soon,

~Melissa

We have foundation giveaways but generally not specific projects (the table
isn't big enough;-)

Usually we just have Melissa staff it and answer general questions about
the ASF. Wherever possible she connects people asking about specific
projects to attendees at the conference.

In theory we could be more organized giving specific projects a time slot
for example. But we would someone to help Melissa manage this.

If there is something you would like to do let us know.

I'd suggest you ask Paul Goetz, he's a committer, works for SAP, and

Re: Event in a Box budget

[Melissa Warnkin]

Jan, thank you for your email! Yes indeed - Jan has graciously volunteered to 
be the "European Hub"; however, we were basically talking in terms of stickers, 
promotional material, etc.  We did not specifically talk about the "EITB".

Nick - I had estimated the weight to be approximately 81 lbs.  Keep in mind, 
this is purely an estimate since I do not have the materials on hand!! The size 
of the case is 51x24x10, and IIRC the case alone weighs approx 20-25 lbs.

Could you clarify how big the box is set to be, and how heavy it's likely 
to be? That might influence if we're able to rustle up an EU box volunteer 
before budget time!

I haven't been able to find any record of any approval for any of the
Hadoop Summits.  I checked Hadoop PMC mailing list, trademarks, concom as
well as general searches of all mailing lists.

There is one mention of Hadoop World asking permission to do "the same
thing as last year".  No record of approval of branding, however.

Presumably this means that these conferences have been approved off-line
somehow.  That seems a little exceptional, however.

Sure we are aware, since you already sent a dozen messages to this list, 
all like this one:

No problem at all! It is just a warning in case you meant to send them

Yeah, is it necessary to CC this list as well? My inbox is filling up
