Apache will be hosting a series of events in the two days prior to OSCON, the 16th and 17th of July. These events are a unique opportunity to engage new participants and build awareness for HBase.
The goal is to provide an environment where newcomers and veteran Apache contributors alike can learn, collaborate and engage with the various Apache communities. To support this, the Conference Committee (ConCom) is planning to use a mixture of bar camp, hackathon and other ‘unconference’ style tools to facilitate engagement at all levels; from hands on coding to high-level overview talks. As the events are exactly two weeks away, we are asking that any of our community members who will be at OSCON and are interested in helping grow HBase, work with us and ConCom to organize our presence during the two days. ConCom will be preparing a section of their site and wiki to help advertise and coordinate the event. They have asked all interested projects to prepare a patch for their site with details of the project and what the project will be doing during the events (overview talks, hacking sessions, etc). Currently, they have organized the two days into the following four blocks of related projects: Monday: Social & Widgets Big Data & Content Tuesday Cloud & Web Infrastructure Programming & Productivity Please reply to this e-mail if you are interested in helping coordinate HBase’s presence at OSCON. We will work with ConCom to coordinate the next steps. Thank you in advance, The HBase PMC P.S. Write me or anyone on the PMC if you are attending OSCON and would like to do something on behalf of HBase. We'll support you.
