Re: Draft Proposal for FOSDEM Devroom

[Sharan Foga]

Hi Everyone

I've sent in the FOSDEM devroom request so now we'll need to wait to see 
whether it is accepted.  The deadline for notifications is 2nd October so as 
soon as I get their response I'll let you know.

Thanks
Sharan

Re: Draft Proposal for FOSDEM Devroom

[Sharan Foga]

Hi All

I've updated the proposal yet again. Based on the feedback I'm going to call 
the devroom the Apache Software Foundation Collaboration and Community Lab (or 
ASF CoLab for short).  

https://s.apache.org/XBKX

The main focus will be to provide a common space to:

- engage with users, contributors and committers from any of the ASF project 
communities
- encourage cross collaboration and knowledge sharing across Apache projects
- promote a healthy open source development culture
- disseminate information around common themes that are of interest to Apache 
and open source projects in general 
- attract new open source contributors by providing introduction to projects 
and technologies
- collaborate and build relationships with other open source foundations and 
institutions

I know the devroom name is a long one but I like the fact that it can have 
simple abbreviation :-) 

Also I think the description of the devroom focus is quite broad so could allow 
for a wide range of topics including individual project presentations. I also 
like the idea of it being a 'Community Lab' so being more about participation.

Thanks to all that provided input on this thread and pending anymore - I'll 
look to get this request submitted this evening.

Thanks

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

fundraising.  Advice appreciated.

I have started to put some details together for the FOSDEM devroom

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

The legal drinking age in Belgium is 16 for alcoholic drinks with less
than 22%.  According to Wikipedia it's also rarely enforced.  I'm not
suggesting we start handing out shots to 12 year olds.  But with some
good faith effort, this may not be the problem it would be in the US.

It's not so much whether we're competent, as it is what does the
university and conference allow. They had some reservations about "free
alcohol", and want us to contact them for a more in-depth response
(they'll have to mull it over).
At the time I wrote the idea, I did not pay any attention to the 
location just whether something like that was possible.  It sounds like 
non-alcoholic beverages would be a better choice and please ask / 
confirm with them if that would be ok and I'll plan for that.

Thanks Daniel for getting a response for Kevin so quickly.

I've updated the devroom proposal (so am including the link again) and have 
changed the name to Foundations and Community Outreach. 

https://s.apache.org/XBKX

I was going to suggest that we could fill both days. What do people think?

Anyway please take a look and let me have any feedback.

Thanks

That's perfect if you can ask.  Upayavira and I are debating the merit of the 
idea but on a campus if it is allowed will be quite minimal on expense I think.

 Perhaps a 2 hour block for something to discuss meritocracy and

 We have the option of a half day, full day or both days. A two

Hi Kevin

All the rooms are free which is why there is such a high demand for 
them. The location is in a university so the rooms can vary a lot from 
lecture theatre size (which I think they keep for the main tracks) and 
to various smaller sized classrooms. I can ask the organisers the 
question about holding a beer/wine/cheese event to see if that OK just 
in case there are any restrictions.


Thanks
Sharan

Hi Kevin

We haven't been guaranteed a room yet as this is only the request for 
one, so we won't know until early October if they will allocate one to 
us. Once I get more details, I'll let you know.


Thanks
