Re: FOSDEM 2023 Update
Fantastic recap Sharan. And very close to my observations.(I had no idea about the rain though and I kinda hoped it was "exceptionally wet" this year, so I might get better prepared next year in anticipation of how it **really** can look like:D. Some comments from my side now after I recovered a bit (actually it took me quite some time to even wrap my head around what happened there - it's easier now to recap after a few days). It was my first time at FOSDEM. I had no idea what to expect (I've heard stories but I decided not to prepare too much and treat it as an exploratory visit so when I come next year (HInt! I will definitely go next year no matter what). I usually try to speak at the conferences I am going to, but since I did not know what to expect I decided not to submit one and. I am in general pretty new to the OSS movement and for me that was the first time I had a chance to interact with many people including those who are focused on the true and sometimes idealistic view on Open Source. And by no means this "idealistic" is bad - it was kinda refreshing actually. There are many conferences where doing business and networking to make more of it is the main focus. FOSDEM is definitely not one of those events and I think part of this is the way how distributed and chaotic it is - there is simply no way to do "business" there. But yes - networking was great, bouncing-off ideas even exchanged at the pavement when bumping on a group of people you vaguely (due to pandemic) remember a face of one person but not the name of - was great. I spent the vast majority of my time at the Apache booth and meeting friends. Even if I planned to see some talks, I ended up not doing so - there were quite a few talks various people mentioned as worth seeing, so I will watch them online instead. what happened at the "hallway track" was way more interesting. This is why I think it was great that FOSDEM managed not only live-stream pretty much all the tracks (that must have been hell of an undertaking from technical point of view) but that - I believe all the talks will be available to watch. But I think for many people who just want to learn something and are less of a networking and hallway - there were some excellent talks there to watch live and get inspired on the spot. So both "sides" of FOSDEM seem to "do the job well". I've learned a lot about how Apache is perceived from both - outside and inside. I had many conversations - both short talks and long ramblings from people who look at the Foundation from outside as well from long and short-time members and people who were there at the beginning and came to just say hello. But also random people from various organizations, companies, students etc. This is food for thoughts that will keep coming back in the coming months. Coming back to the "idealistic" part - I think FOSDEM is very unique in the way that diversity of people you could meet was amazing - there were both - young people who just start their career as well as people who have tens of years of experience, freelancers and people who run multi-billion companies. OSS was the common theme - and it democratised a lot who you could interact with. I do not have yet clear formulated thoughts for next year (and what and how to prepare better myself) and how to encourage even more participation from the ASF/PMC members - It will likely come closer to when we start thinking of the 2024 one, but I think it's an event worth attending to understand better the different vibes that are present in the OSS community.

FOSDEM 2023 Update
Hi Everyone I am back and still in the process of recovering from FOSDEM last weekend so wanted to post a quick update. After two years of being an online conference due to the pandemic it was great to get back to an in person event...and FOSDEM excels at being an in person event. I can't begin to describe how great it felt to be back behind the booth talking to people about the foundation and our projects. I saw so many familiar faces of people who keep coming back to say Hello! One guy showed me an ASF branded USB extender that I gave him a few years ago at FOSDEM for helping me out with a Kibble demo...:-) Now normally it rains in February. If there's one thing that seems assured - it's rain at FOSDEM... well this time it was a little different. I won't say it didn't rain (because it did) but not that much. And even more unexpected was the sunshine ..Maybe the city Brussels was happy to have an in person FOSDEM again too so put on some good weather for us:-) Our booth has usually been on the first floor of K block right at the top of the stairs but this time we were given a new location. We were on the ground floor on the left hand side along by the windows. We were also near to one the entry / exit doors. Our position meant that people had to pass by us to get in or out - so we got a lot of foot traffic. The FOSDEM team grouped foundations linked to Community Advocacy together so we were alongside OpenUK, FOSSASIA, Software Freedom Conservancy. FSFE, FOSSASIA, Ecliipse Foundation etc. On Saturday I arrived with the bag of swag to find a few people ready and waiting to help out with setup. We quickly put up the banner (it definitely needed two people!), blew up some balloons and got the booth table covered in stickers (So much so that during the event people came to take photos of our display). We kept telling people that this was only a small selection of ASF projects. Even so - we did have requests for stickers we didn't have (so they are on my list for next time). Also we ran out of the HTTP Server stickers (everyone wanted a sticker of the first ASF project). We ran out of stickers for Apache Maven, Apache Kafka this time. As well as stickers we gave away some balloons for the children (and some adults too), cleaning cloths for glasses and screens, mugs, head tubes, pens, small cable bags, key rings and mask extenders (as there were a few people with masks). The cleaning cloths were very popular - everyone wearing glasses seemed to want one. For the things that we had limited supply of - we told people that to get one would cost 'a good conversation' :-) So we had some really good conversations - about projects, technology and I think even open source software for space technology! This is one of the reasons that having a booth presence is so good for outreach and general community building. People also came to talk to us about other open source events that were being organised that they hoped we or our communities might be interested in participating in. One of these was the Open System Days Croation Linux Users Conference who have a CFP open https://www.dorscluc.org/call-for-speakers/. We also offered a free meeting room for community meetups for any developers based in and around Portugal. We had people from different projects spend some time on the booth - so special shoutout and huge thanks to Claude Warren, Matthew de Detrich, Arnout Engelen, Myrle Krantz, Jarek Potiuk, Gilles Sadowski, Johan Corveleyn, Jean-Frederic Clere, Herve Boutemy for helping out on the booth. Thanks also to everyone that dropped by to say Hi and chat -it was all fun. There were rumours of 1 attending people but nothing concrete. Usually FOSDEM attracts over 8000 developers. Whatever the number there seemed to be an endless stream of people, there were lots of people at the foodcarts, on the first and second floors, walking to and from the other buildings and going in and out of the talks. I understand that many of the talks have been recorded so if you didn't make it then you will still get a chance to see it. If you have never experienced FOSDEM then I would encourage you to keep it on your radar and see if you can make it to the next one. Once again I would like to sincerely thank everyone that was involved in helping out to make our participation at FOSDEM a success. Am already looking forward to doing it all again next year if we get the chance. Please feel free to respond with any of your FOSDEM experiences, feedback, thoughts or general comments!

It'll be my first time at FOSDEM (I live close by, but never made it there), so I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm looking forward to the busy chaos. I'll try to get there early (8.30 am might be pushing it, but I'll try) so I might be able to help with setup too. I can also help out a bit with "booth duty", no problem. I'll put my name on the wiki ...

Re: FOSDEM 2023
Hi Arnout Thanks for volunteering to help with booth setup. Booth setup starts at around 8.30am on Saturday morning and we need to have everything setup by 10am. At the end of the day we need to close and leave by around 5.30pm. Our booth is located in K building and we have position 11. I am planning to get there between 8.30am and 9am. I am bringing a table cloth and banner with the ASF logos. Those don't take too long to setup. I also have hundreds of stickers and some swag that we need to put out and ration throughout the day. Yes it would be good to have a few more people sign up for time on the booth as it can get really tiring and everyone needs a break after a couple of hours. Hopefully see you over the weekend.

Re: FOSDEM 2023
Hi All It looks like our stand is going to be on the ground floor this year. https://fosdem.org/2023/stands/ As long as I can remember we have been up at the top of the stairs on the first floor - so it will be a new experience. We have been asked to ensure that there is someone at the booth at all times - from memory the tables generally have enough space for two people comfortably (with chairs) and three if standing. We have lots of stickers left over from ApacheCon so will be bringing those along. I still need to do a bit of an inventory to see what swag we have that I can bring. We may have some funding left in the ComDev budget to order some stickers for projects that haven't had any printed and are planning to be represented at FOSDEM. Please add your project name to the table at the bottom of the wiki page if you'd like to have some stickers available. (At the moment I see only Pekko would like some). https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/FOSDEM+2023 It's not too long to the event so will post more details as we get closer.

Just a thought - can we think of some clever logistics by which we get every apache committer some sort of recognisable thing ? E.g. like those small feather lapel-pins.

Re: FOSDEM 2023
Hi All Some good news! I just saw that we have been given an ASF booth for FOSDEM so looking forward to being there on 4th and 5th February and meeting up with everyone. As usual I will setup a wiki page with the details and people can book booth time to promote their project. Thanks Sharan On 2022/12/04 15:55:36 Sharan Foga wrote: > Excellent!

I plan to be there. As for the stand/booth, I am happy to take a shift, but here that cloudstack is planning a booth as well, so I might have to man that as well.

FOSDEM 2023
Hi All In case you haven't heard yet. FOSDEM 2023 <https://fosdem.org/2023/> is back as an in person event. Millions of developers (ok perhaps thousands!) will converge on Brussels to enjoy this mega meetup. We usually try to have an ASF booth at the event. The call for stands is open so I'll put in a submission for a stand for the ASF and see how it goes. We should find out by 1st December if we get a stand or not. Thanks Sharan
