propose a roadshow about the ASF, get in touch with us on the Event Planning 
mailing list.
-Important! While we appreciate other parties producing events to tell the 
world about our many great Apache projects and communities, Apache trademarks 
and brands are also important to us. To use any Apache trademarks in 
conjunctions with events, you must request permission by following the Third 
Party Event Branding Policy.</description>

Apache Event</h1>
+<p>This guide covers everything you need to run a local event — a
+hackathon, sprint, meetup, BarCamp, or community gathering — with
+Apache branding. You don&rsquo;t need permission from ComDev to start
+planning; just follow the steps below.</p>
+<h2 id="what-counts-as-a-small-event">What counts as a &ldquo;small 
event&rdquo;?</h2>
+<p>Any community gathering of 5–100 people organized by or for an
+Apache project community:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Contributor sprint</strong> — a day of focused hacking on a 
specific project</li>
+<li><strong>Hackathon</strong> — multi-project working event</li>
+<li><strong>BarCamp / unconference</strong> — participant-driven talks and 
discussion</li>
+<li><strong>Meetup</strong> — an evening or half-day of talks and 
networking</li>
+<li><strong>Release party</strong> — celebrating a major release</li>
+</ul>
+<h2 id="step-by-step">Step-by-step</h2>
+<h3 id="1-pick-your-format-and-date">1. Pick your format and date</h3>
+<p>Decide what kind of event you&rsquo;re running and pick a date at least 4
+weeks out. Weekend events are common but weekday evenings work for
+meetups.</p>
+<h3 id="2-find-a-venue">2. Find a venue</h3>
+<p>Good options (often free):</p>
+<ul>
+<li>University classrooms or lecture halls</li>
+<li>Company offices with community spaces</li>
+<li>Coworking spaces</li>
+<li>Libraries with meeting rooms</li>
+<li>Conference side-rooms (if co-locating)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>You need: tables, chairs, power outlets, WiFi, and ideally a projector.</p>
+<h3 id="3-identify-a-coordinator">3. Identify a coordinator</h3>
+<p>Every event needs one named person who is the point of contact. This
+person should be:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>An Apache committer or PMC member on at least one project, OR</li>
+<li>Working with the support of a committer/PMC member</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 id="4-create-your-event-page">4. Create your event page</h3>
+<p>Copy the <a href="../templates/small-event-template/">event page 
template</a> and
+submit a PR to this repository. The template has all the fields you need.</p>
+<p>Alternatively, email <a 
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>
+with your event details and we&rsquo;ll set up the page for you.</p>
+<h3 id="5-handle-trademarks">5. Handle trademarks</h3>
+<p>If you&rsquo;re using &ldquo;Apache&rdquo; or any Apache project name in 
your event title
+or materials:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Review the <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/events.html";>Third Party Event 
Branding Policy</a></li>
+<li>For small community events organized by committers, this is
+typically lightweight — just ensure you&rsquo;re not implying ASF
+endorsement of a commercial product</li>
+</ul>
+<p>You do NOT need to wait for trademark approval to start planning. Just
+make sure your materials comply before publishing them.</p>
+<h3 id="6-promote-the-event">6. Promote the event</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Post to your project&rsquo;s dev@ mailing list</li>
+<li>List it on this site (via the event page you created in step 4)</li>
+<li>Share on social media using #ApacheCommunity</li>
+<li>If there are local meetup groups, reach out to them</li>
+</ul>
+<!--
+### 7. Request funding (optional)
+
+If you need financial support for venue costs, catering, or materials,
+see the [Event Funding Request](funding-request/) page. Small events
+can request up to $2,000 with a lightweight proposal.
+-->
+<h3 id="8-run-the-event">8. Run the event</h3>
+<p>See the <a href="day-of-checklist/">Day-of Checklist</a> for a printable
+checklist.</p>
+<h3 id="9-after-the-event">9. After the event</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Post a brief report to <a 
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a> 
(attendance, what
+worked, what you&rsquo;d change)</li>
+<li>Add photos to <a 
href="https://photos.apachecon.com";>photos.apachecon.com</a> if
+you took any</li>
+<li>Update your event page with an &ldquo;Outcome&rdquo; section</li>

+<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>
+<p><strong>Do I need to be an ASF Member to run an event?</strong>
+No. Any committer can organize an event. Non-committers can too, as
+long as they have the support of a project PMC member.</p>
+<p><strong>Can I charge admission?</strong>
+Events using Apache branding should be free or at-cost (covering
+venue/food). Profit-making events need separate approval per the
+branding policy.</p>
+<p><strong>What if my event is virtual?</strong>
+Same process. Note the timezone, platform (Zoom, Jitsi, etc.), and
+maximum capacity on your event page.</p>
+<p><strong>Who do I contact if I get stuck?</strong>
+Email <a href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a> 
—
+someone from the community development team will help.</p>

+<h2 id="what-makes-a-sprint-succeed">What makes a sprint succeed</h2>
+<p>Based on lessons from past Apache events (BarCamp series 2011–2013,
+Apache Meetup NL, Bangalore hackathons):</p>
+<ol>
+<li><strong>Pre-curated issues</strong> — Don&rsquo;t make people search for 
work. Have 10+
+labeled issues ready, with difficulty levels marked.</li>
+<li><strong>Experienced reviewers present</strong> — If PRs submitted during 
the
+sprint sit unreviewed for weeks, participants won&rsquo;t come back.</li>
+<li><strong>Dev environment pre-tested</strong> — The #1 time-waster at 
sprints is
+&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t get the build working.&rdquo; Have someone verify the 
setup guide
+works on Mac, Linux, and Windows beforehand.</li>
+<li><strong>Pair people up</strong> — A newcomer + a committer at the same 
table
+produces results. A newcomer alone produces frustration.</li>
+<li><strong>Keep it small</strong> — 8–15 people is ideal. Over 25, you need
+multiple coordinators and the energy dissipates.</li>
+</ol>
+<h2 id="swag-and-materials-optional">Swag and materials (optional)</h2>
+<p>If you&rsquo;d like Apache stickers, sticker sheets, or other materials for
+your event, email <a 
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>
+at least 4 weeks in advance. We can ship limited quantities at no cost.</p>
+<h2 id="funding">Funding</h2>
+<p>If you need help covering room rental or food costs, see the
+<a href="../funding-request/">Event Funding Request</a> page. Sprints typically
+need $200–500 (pizza + drinks for a day).</p>
