Hi everyone,
Sorry for my late answer, we just ended the Beam Summit today =)
We will be happy to help you with the monthly sessions, and if you need
help on the Airflow Summit meets Hacktoberfest, please let us know (BTW
we will jump into Hackoberfest with the Open Source contribution summit
we have planned for October, I will share more info about this summit in
another message).
We would like to have a quick call next Friday, same time we used to
have the event weekly calls (11am CT US), so we can discuss the Airflow
Summit monthly sponsored meetups requirements in more detail. In the
mean time I will prepare a proposal of what we believe will be needed
and how it could work in terms of involvement, promotion, timing, etc.
*I am adding Alma who is new at SG team and will be happy to help us in
this project.
Let me know any comment.
Mara.

Absolutely. +10.
We can even do more than that. We are planning with Tomek to run two
workshops in October - the continuation of the Airflow Summit's
"First-time contributors to Apache Airflow". We have already a
waitlist of people for the workshops. And this makes 100% sense to
join it and make it a kind of "Airflow Summit meets Hacktoberfest"
event (That's Tomek's idea - kudos for that!).
Another thing we discussed with Ry yesterday was to involve the
meetups that co-organized the Airflow Summit, could run a regular
monthly "Airflow Summit" branded online meetups - each time hosted by
a different meetup. Those would be similar to the 3-hours sessions we
had at the summit. So we could start this as part of the Hacktoberfest
activities and brand it all together as "Airflow Summit" initiatives.
Also - if there are any people in the community who would like to help
with organizing this - I think everyone is welcome. The team that
organized the summit is already experienced and I think we are all
happy to bring other people on board to continue doing that with our
help and mentorship (and likely still involvement - I think we were
all so happy with the results that there is no reason why we should
not take part in organizing the next ones.
What do you think community people? Is anyone willing to help :)? It's
not that difficult (especially if you can get help from us), It's
super-rewarding, you get to know a lot of interesting people. We have
a fantastic team from Software Guru, who 'produces" the events (and
they are very good at that), we have Astronomer Google Cloud and
Polidea who can continue the sponsorship I believe :).
And I think all people from the organizer's team will be more than
happy to welcome others to help to organize it forward.
It's a community thing, so I would love to see more of people from the
community involved.
I am super happy personally to mentor people in with my experience
for one (It's the 6th big event I organized but this one was
hands-down the best).
Ry, others - what do you think?
Anyone from the community willing to help :)?
