[ANNOUNCE] CFP open for ApacheCon North America 2016

2015-11-25 Thread Rich Bowen 
Community growth starts by talking with those interested in your
project. ApacheCon North America is coming, are you?

We are delighted to announce that the Call For Presentations (CFP) is
now open for ApacheCon North America. You can submit your proposed
sessions at
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp
for big data talks and
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp
for all other topics.

ApacheCon North America will be held in Vancouver, Canada, May 9-13th
2016. ApacheCon has been running every year since 2000, and is the place
to build your project communities.

While we will consider individual talks we prefer to see related
sessions that are likely to draw users and community members. When
submitting your talk work with your project community and with related
communities to come up with a full program that will walk attendees
through the basics and on into mastery of your project in example use
cases. Content that introduces what's new in your latest release is also
of particular interest, especially when it builds upon existing well
know application models. The goal should be to showcase your project in
ways that will attract participants and encourage engagement in your
community, Please remember to involve your whole project community (user
and dev lists) when building content. This is your chance to create a
project specific event within the broader ApacheCon conference.

Content at ApacheCon North America will be cross-promoted as
mini-conferences, such as ApacheCon Big Data, and ApacheCon Mobile, so
be sure to indicate which larger category your proposed sessions fit into.

Finally, please plan to attend ApacheCon, even if you're not proposing a
talk. The biggest value of the event is community building, and we count
on you to make it a place where your project community is likely to
congregate, not just for the technical content in sessions, but for
hackathons, project summits, and good old fashioned face-to-face networking.

ApacheCon CFP

2015-11-25 Thread Rich Bowen 
As most of you have no doubt seen, the CFP is now open for ApacheCon
North America. The timeline for the CFP is as follows:

CFP Close: February 12, 2016
CFP Notifications: February 29, 2016
Schedule Announced: March 3, 2016

Thus, around February, I'm going to be looking for people who are
willing to be part of a content committee to help us select the talks
for this event. I will also be looking for help in the following areas:

* Getting the word out about the CFP outside of the apache committers.
Spread the word to your company, your meetup groups, your fishing
buddies, and your chrorale. We want talks from more than the Usual Suspects.

* Getting the word out about the event itself, so that people can get on
their manager's budget far enough in advance.

* People who know and love Vancouver to help tell the story about all
the extra-Apache reasons why people should come to ApacheCon.

* Keynote suggestions and personal contacts. (Yes, we'd like to have
Harrison Ford keynote, but unless you know him personally, or know how
we can get in touch, it's not a helpful suggestion.)

* And, of course, you need to get your talk submissions in so that we
can have a stellar lineup of talks.

Come hang out on #apachecon on irc.freenode.net if you want to make
suggestions, help out in any way, or just enjoy our company.

See you in Vancouver!

ok, I didn't catch you were not committer

As Ross points out, you'll become committer after earning merit :)
and before that, you can provide content through CMS without being committer: 
did you try?

I can play the committer role and try to get the content and commit after you 
submitted it, to check that the process works: I just won't be able to really 
review the content :)
notice that I can check what result I get using an automatic translation 
service: IMHO, this is part of the process that we should try

Do we have a chinese speaking committer who could review the content, with 
Apache Way in mind to check that what is explained to chinese speaking people 
regarding contribution is ok?

Regards,

Hervé

RE: 答复: 答复: Forming a community of Apache fans in China - Apache China Community

2015-11-25 Thread Ross Gardler 
Ted, there is no need to be a committer to review and edit content. That's the 
point. The only requirement is to do the work. Being a committer makes things a 
little easier (can commit work directly rather than rely on others) but that 
requires merit to be earned first.

See http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html

Once you have a specific task you want to tackle let us know and we can guide 
you on how to tackle it.

Yes, that's what we are hoping for. I'd also like to become a committer of 
comdev to review and to be able to edit the content.

yes, that's what I meant: anybody can send patch, a committer must commit

for me, "editing" was about publishing, ie requiring commit privilege.

but there is a feature I don't really master in CMS for non-committers to 
easily submit patches: I found the doc [1] but never tried it myself.
This FAQ entry should probably be one of the first content to be translated to 
crowd-source translation :)

notice that if a currently non-committer propose a lot of good centent, he 
could IMHO be  voted to be committer on comdev (ie not on any code TLP, but 
general committer to have the commit bit to the site)

Hervé
