Hi Brittany, Thanks for sharing the proposal. After we organized Beam Summit Europe and Beam Summit NA in 2019, I'm really looking forward to the digital 2020 version of the summit!
tl;dr For it to be an official Beam event, the Beam trademark use needs to be approved by the PMC. We'll have a separate vote thread for that once we've answered questions here. We are also open to suggestions and ideas for the summit. Note that the exact schedule is to-be-determined but we are thinking about multiple days with half-day morning (PDT) sessions, such that there will be enough time to work on other things that day. Cheers, Max PS: Yes, it's 2020 :) On 01.04.20 23:56, Brittany Hermann wrote: > Dear Project Management Committee, > > > The Beam Summits are community events funded by a group of sponsors and > organized by a Steering Committee formed by members of the Beam > community and who have participated in past editions.
