Re: Roadshow Seattle

[Ross Gardler]

Understood. My hope is we won't be asking for funding (depends on what our 
nascent group decides we want to do though). I imagine we will want help with 
promotion. We will have no problem meeting the member oversight requirement.

The Seattle locals plan to meet next Thurs (lurking and local? Come and join 
us). We'll bring an outline of our proposal to events@ after that.

Fyi, we're in the peocess of drafting a bid process for roadshows.

Basically, if you want asf funding for a roadshow you're going to need to
jump through a few hoops to get it. We cannot support N roadshows every
year if N keeps growing.

Otoh if you don't need any budget support, and you don't need any promotion
support, then we only require that a member is involved for you to use the
"Apache Roadshow" name, but understand that other than the name you're
pretty much on your own at that point.

We're not trying to squash your fun but the budget and volunteer support
only goes so far.

We also don't want to create a situation where we are competing with our
own events. So please note the existing event schedule -
https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.apache.org%2Fdata=02%7C01%7C%7Cd0728436d2ce4d964a4908d6da681312%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636936537864641731sdata=ZMaoO8iHPf%2BBFHP8ZWcZVyNFp1FDfCfGkUEo81WR6%2BE%3Dreserved=0
 - and don't put something on the same land mass
within 3 months of one of our official events.

These rules will evolve and will be documented on events.a.o as soon as we
figure out what they are but I'm pretty sure that the above is the skeleton
of what we will end up with.
