Ok sorry for the amount of traffic on this, but I’ve just got more infos on
this from the LF.
They would like us to have the Summit and they would like to have it as an
integral part of ApacheCon. They would provide us with:
Quote: “
- room will be labeled as the Flex Summit (or other name ie CCC and TomcatCon)
- you would be responsible to work with your community to program 5-6 talks for
the day. These can come from the main CFP that is currently open (encourage
people to submit), unless you already have talks in mind.
- we'll provide an ApacheCon registration for one speaker from each session
(any secondary speakers will be offered a discount)
- anyone with an ApacheCon badge will be able to attend the summit, and any
summit specific attendees will still need to have a full ApacheCon badge
- we'll highlight the Summit on our co-located event page and the talks will be
included in the overall event schedule (to launch in March)
- we'll provide branding for the Summit in the form of a room sign, and include
the summit on other shared signage
- if you have any potential sponsors, I'd suggest asking them to sponsor
ApacheCon as a whole, even at the lowest level, and we'll also note them as an
ApacheFlex sponsor.
“
So I think we should take this opportunity. I bet we would get the 5-6
talks/workshops/whatever to fill the room for one day. As I bet no one has yet
submitted any Flex talks, I would like us to manage the talks without the
ApacheCon CFP. Each Speaker will get a free pass for ApacheCon so we should
take care in spreading talks throughout the team. While I’m at it … who would
like to have a talk and be willing to prepare one? We should concentrate on
FlexJS, I think. But that’s just my opinion.
Objections?

Hi all,
We only needed the 30 or so registrations as we wanted to have a fully
separately bookable project summit. The other summits are all fully integrated
into the ApacheCon and people can go to any of the summits they want and
eventually visit events from multiple summits. I think we should go down that
path. The only reason for me asking the LF about a separately bookable event
was to make it easier for guys like Alex to only attend one day. But it guess
the price for that is too high.
I think we should do the Flex Summit and call it Apache FlexJS Summit. And
again … the main reason for me wanting to do this, is to get part of the core
Flex team together, meet, talk, set aside some of the differences and fill up
the trenches between us that have started manifesting themselves more and more.
Sort of a big kick-off meeting with us meeting, discussing things and getting
the FlexJS ship towards its last part of the journey to the version 1.0. I see
the online “conference” more as an additional thing to spread knowledge, but
right now I think we need community. You don’t build community online.

Well I thought about my participating in Miami as a wonderfull
adventure,
opportunity to meet some folks from the team and the most important
reasone
cause I Love Flex.
BUT, Alex here ponit us arguments which has sence to me.
It look like we really didn't get enough attention and now I doubt we
will
get for that summit.
I will wait a bit longer with TAC to see what will happen with that
thread -
If after some time I won't see more response I will leave TAC for
another
time -
Otherwise I'm open to plan trip to Frankfurt in August if Miami won't
work -
It will be better financial time for me.
