[Wikitech-l] APIStrat conference, San Francisco, October 23, 24, 25
A friend of mine is co-organizing a conference about APIs. She asked me if there is someone from Wikimedia or the community who would be interested in participating. It will take place in Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco on October 23, 24, 25. A bit of information about the conference: APIStrat is a vendor neutral conference, and we are committed to promote API usage/knowledge, and specifically with the event, to build a great program with interesting content and actually create something that is useful for the community. People behind it are Kin Lane (@apievangelist) and 3Scale. Here you can see speakers from the previous event: http://apistrategyconference.com/2013NYC/speakers.php, where they brought together over 350 people. Videos of the previous event can be found here: http://www.infoq.com/api-strategy-practice/ This time we are expecting between 500-600 attendees, and it will be both service providers and API consumers (developers). The previous edition was mostly addressed to providers, but we will have an exclusive track addressed to developers in this edition. They'd like us to: - talk about how much traffic we deal with, how do we do it, who uses our API (or something similar that we think would be of general interest), - participate in the "APIs in Government - Towards a Data Commons" panel giving the perspective of a non-profit (they aim to have federal, state, education, international, and non-profit representation in this panel). Seems interesting. Is there anyone who'd be interested in giving a talk or participating in a panel there? -- Juliusz ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Given that it's very close to me, and that I have quite a bit of experience with the API, this is something I could do. I actually had an API talk planned for WM 2012 that I never got a chance to present, I could dust it off and see how well it fits in their scope. Do you know when their CFP opens? -- Marc ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

One thing I forgot to mention: the organizers of APIStrat would like to know if we participate or not at the beginning of next week. Please send a short draft of a proposal to Vanessa (she is one of the organizers) if you are interested.
