Apologies if you're receiving this twice. However, I wanted to give ComDev a headsup that I'll be helping put together an Apache IoT track at ApacheCON in Miami. The whole premise of the track will be "Not your gramps IoT" which means that unlike IoT events that grew out of the embedded industry we're talking a very holistic, system view on IoT. Our hope is that Apache IoT will be a meeting place for next generation IoT 2.0 built by developer, for developers under the Apache Way governance model.
ASF's breadth starts making a lot of sense when you consider what kind of technology is needed to build an end-to-end user experience in IoT 2.0: you start at the edge, you consider the gateways, go to a data center and end up on a client mobile device. All technology providers are now realizing that the key to success is allowing developers unprecedented ease of management and deployment of their business logic all throughout these layers. Just look at what Amazon is doing with Lambda on the edge (Amazon's Greengrass)! The good news is that at ASF we've got all the building blocks available to us in various communities. So regardless of whether you're an Apache Mynewt (incubating) developer working on the far fringes of the edge, or you are a Apache Brooklyn developer automating microservices provisioning or you're plumbing data streams with Kafka, NiFi or Geode or you're analyzing that data with Hadoop or you're a Tomcat or httpd guru facilitating the end-user experience -- we all have pieces to contribute to the IoT 2.0 puzzle. Please forward this message to the communities you know and let them know to contact me directly if they are interested in helping to organize our first ever Apache IoT mini-conference. And of course -- make sure to submit talks! Thanks, Roman. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sally Khudairi <s...@apache.org> Date: Thu, Jan 26, 2017 at 6:10 PM Subject: IoT at the ASF -- ApacheCon and Project DOAPs [was: Does your project play in the IoT space?] To: ASF Marketing & Publicity <pr...@apache.org> Hello ASF Members and PMCs (in blindcopy) --I hope you are all well. Some of you may remember my email below from last year asking about IoT. Thank you to everyone who responded. The ASF's involvement in this space is growing, with new IoT projects coming into the Apache Incubator building upon our foundation of more than a dozen Apache projects (see list below: do let me know if your project is missing). Also please see the corresponding NOTE re: DOAPs. Earlier today, Rich Bowen (ASF VP Conferences) sent a note to ASF Members about ApacheCon's evolution towards subject-related focus and standalone tracks (e.g. "Apache Big Data" vs. "The Hadoop Track" <g>). Also today I published the new positioning for ApacheCon https://s.apache.org/F7Hy In response to Rich's email, Roman Shaposhnik suggested we hold an IoT track, referencing innovations such as Apache Mynewt (incubating). Several Members have stepped up to offer help with planning. We are very excited about the enthusiastic response! Rich and I also spoke with one of the heads of IoTFuse, a 501(c)(3) organization that connects developers with the C-suite on all things IoT. They are the largest group of its kind in the US, and are holding their third annual conference in April --they're anticipating 1,000 attendees (up from 200 the first year). ApacheCon and IoTFuse will be cross-promoting events as Community Partners. IoTFuse will take place 21 April at the Minneapolis Convention Center; their CFP closes on 3 February. We suggest submitting talks to both IoTFuse and ApacheCon (CFP closes 11 February). They are also offering us the opportunity to have a booth to have an in-person presence at the event as well. Gold Star to Apache Mynewt's James Pace for liaising the introduction to IoTFuse! Here's the checklist of how you can help: - ASAP: Can you participate in the ApacheCon IoT track? (Activities include submitting presentations, helping planning, securing sponsors, being an event "ambassador"/spokesperson, etc. --whatever you can do is helpful). If so, please contact Roman <r...@apache.org> - ASAP: Can you represent the ASF at the IoTFuse booth? If so, please contact Sally <s...@apache.org> - 3 Feb: Submit a presentation proposal for IoTFuse https://iotfuse.com/call-for-proposals-2017-iotfuse-conference/ - 11 Feb: Submit a presentation proposal for ApacheCon http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp - 21 Apr: Host the Apache booth at IoTFuse (single day) + attend the event in MSP - 15-18 May: Join us at ApacheCon in MIA! For those projects _not_ in the IoT space but want to hold such a track at a future ApacheCon, please contact Rich and the ApacheCon planning team <apachecon-disc...@apache.org> Thanks in advance for your consideration and help. We look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Sally = = = IoT-related Apache projects (NOTE: none of these are listed under the "IoT" category at https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?category --that's because there isn't one. Who can help me create a new category so we can get our projects' DOAPs properly classified?) - Cassandra - Calcite (thank you, Julian Hyde, for explaining that Big Data being the “first shot” of IoT, as mobile phones containing sensors generated all that data) - Spark - Phoenix - Derby - Storm - Qpid - SIS - Ignite - ActiveMQ - Karaf - CouchDB - DeviceMap - NiFi - Mynewt (incubating) - iota (incubating) - Edgent (incubating) - ...who else? = = = = = vox +1 617 921 8656 gvox +1 646 598 4616 skype sallykhudairi ________________________________ From: Sally Khudairi <s...@apache.org> To: ASF Marketing & Publicity <pr...@apache.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 12:01 PM Subject: Does your project play in the IoT space? Hello PMCs (in bcc) --I trust you are all well! A quick ping to see how many Apache projects play in/near/around the IoT (Internet of Things) space. At ApacheCon last week, I spoke with several projects and podlings that are in this sector and I'd like to highlight our activities with those analysts covering this suddenly "white hot" space. Whilst much of this might seem obvious internally, it may not be clear to those outside the Apache community. To that end, if your project does play a role here, do let me know: 1) name of project 2) category (library, Big Data, database, network-server, etc.) --if unsure, check out https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?category If incorrect, fix it <g> 3) what does your project do? Again, check out your DOAP at https://projects.apache.org/ to ensure consistency 4) do you play/connect/integrate/enable other Apache projects? If so, which one(s)? 5) do you play/connect/integrate/enable with non-Apache products? If so, which one(s) and HOW? 6) are there similar/other solutions to your project? If so, what makes your project stand out from the rest? Also, please let me know if you're interested in participating in any media/analyst briefings that may result from our pitching.
