Russell, Let us know what you learn about Strata. Even if Strata offers up rooms to communities for free (based on information such as community size, etc...), I'm doubtful they would cover food and drinks. That cost would need to be carried by a sponsor -- i.e. you'd need to find a sponsor for it. We considered something similar for QCon -- however, our venue costs were fairly high so the catering cost for most budding communities and their sponsors were a turn-off. Given that Strata is a large conference hosted at a largish (i.e. expensive) hotel, I'd expect some of the same cost issues, unless Strata co-sponsored it.
I'm all for something at Strata, but just wanted to share my $0.02. Since this topic came up on Jayesh's thread, I'd like to time-bound it. If you don't hear back by say Friday with specifics from Strata, I'd say that Jayesh's wins by first-mover privilege. Jayesh, If we don't hear from Strata by Friday, I'd say we continue with your idea. I've already promoted your user to Event Organizer on https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Airflow-Incubating-Meetup/ You'd need to follow the steps below: - Get approval from Paypal to host it - Ping this list for 2 more speakers - I'd imagine someone from PayPal will also speak about PayPal's use of Airflow. - Create the meet-up event (ideally once you have all 3 speakers) - Update this list with a link to this event (and ping me if I don't see it) -- I'll then promote it on our twitter channel, etc... -s On Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 4:42 PM, Jayesh Senjaliya <[email protected]> wrote: > I am actually up for both, Paypal can host after Strata. > > waiting for community to comment as well. > > Thanks > Jayesh > > > On Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Russell Jurney <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > I reached out and am awaiting to hear if they have space.
