What I was trying to say was that I think the highest value presentation
is the general discussion of what Rave is, where it came from, what our
goals are, etc. What I was thinking is we would have one larger talk that
is more project and community focused
+1, that fits with what I had in mind for the first talk.
and a technical training where we
walk people through how they can apply and develop for Rave in their own
organizations. In this setting we can explore the technologies and
options for building widgets.
I'm not completely sure what you mean with training, but training sessions on
the ApacheCon are different than "normal" presentations.
Usually two days before or after the formal 3 day conference are reserved for
these training sessions, which each may range from 0.5, 1 or 2 days.
More importantly though: a participant has to pay separately to join a training
*and* for a training to be accepted and executed at least a minimum number of
(paying) participants is required. In the past this usually was 9+.
So, while a training session definitely might be cool, even if accepted there is
no guarantee upfront you actually get to do it...
Anyway, I'm absolutely fine if you want to propose such a training session, but
I'd still like to see a technical oriented *talk* as well to address and reach
the full potential of the ApacheCON visitors not just those willing to pay extra
for a training.
I am willing to submit whatever proposals need submitting, but I
definitely want to participate in the overview talk; maybe as a second (or
third) speaker to Ate?
I'd definitely like a joined presentation. I've done so several times in the
past (also ApacheCON) it it really works well if each (or more) can focus on
different aspects. Also more entertaining for the audience, if done well :)
Lets try to work this out today, I'll be available on skype shortly (+/- 30 min.
from now), anyone else willing to join please just ping me/us.

Subject: ApacheCON NA 2011 CFP: deadline today!
Hi all,
I almost missed it but suddenly realized I haven't seen any feedback
anymore
about presenting Rave at the ApacheCON NA 2011 (Vancouver) later this
year.
As the CFP deadline end *today* (midnight Pacific Time), I want to check
if
anyone did send in a proposal.
I remember Matt chiming in before indicating he was willing to come up
with
something?
Assuming nobody has send in anything yet, I think we maybe could propose
two
separate talks:
a) Rave Overview and Role (high-level/non-technical):
history
community
goals
future
b) Rave Technical:
background (e.g. originating projects, current usages/examples)
architecture
features (small demos)
goals (functional and technical)
roadmap
final grant demo
Assuming Matt or others might be interested and might have a preference
for the
technical talk, I'm inclined to pitch for the first one and write up a
proposal
for that today. But if someone else has a preference to pick that one up
just
let me know.
I only want to make sure we're covering both (type of) talks, so if
nobody else
can or want to jump in, I'm even willing to send in proposals for both.
Please chime in ASAP *today* if/when you are willing to participate in
this, or
already did :)
Regards,
Ate
