[ANNOUNCE] CFP open for ApacheCon North America 2016

[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.

AW: Welcome to OpenDashboards!

[René Peinl]

Hi *,
since some of you requested a version of Shindig that is just working out of 
the box with no lengthy installation and configuration, we've finally published 
our Docker image of Shindig 2.5.2 running on Apache Tomcat 7 with Open JDK 7 
and our integration code to use neo4j (1.98) as a storage backend. 
This version has some additional enhancements compared to the original version 
like friend suggestions based on existing friends and their connections as well 
as queries to determine the connections between two people.
It can be downloaded from Docker Hub
https://hub.docker.com/r/rpeinl/shindig-ws-neo4j/
I hope that helps some of you to get up to speed. 
Feedback welcome.
Regards
René

Betreff: Welcome to OpenDashboards!

Hi friends,

after gathering all your wishes, proposals and votes on the recently created 
Trello 
board toady a new open source organization over at GitHub under the name of 
OpenDashboards  has been created that 
will be used as our common placeholder for all the things we want to see 
happening from now on.

In order to send out invitations to anyone that wishes to join this new effort, 
please make sure you have a GitHub account and post it back to me either as a 
reply to this email or directly through our new Slack 
 space (channel *github-org*).  For those who 
still haven't signed up with the OpenDashboards Slack team, please send me your 
email as well and I will send you an invitation.

Please keep in mind that although this new effort has started off as a shelter 
for the Apache Shindig project can clearly  have a bright future, since 
'dashboarding' is and will be a common requirement for many companies, 
organizations and individual technology solutions.  Having stated that, I have 
a vision that OpenDashboards can easily become the next one-stop shop for 
diverse dashboarding solutions given the appropriate context and positioning in 
the technology space.

I believe that we should all urge the companies we represent to join the effort 
and contribute to the evolution of an ecosystem we all could benefit from.  
Also, we could start building collaborations with other open source projects 
and solutions in the same space, or even with various verticals in order to 
start getting attention and traction.

Now that we have a new home, the next step is to transfer the Apache Shindig 
project to a new repository @ Github at its latest stable version.
So, @Ryan can you give us the status from your side (and Apache's of course)?  
Have you cleared things up regarding the transfer?

Best regards,
Chris

Hi Rene,

thank you very much for the contribution!  A great first step forward.  Can
you send me you Github account so I can send you an invitation to join
OpenDashboards?  I will also create a new OpenDashboards org @ Docker Hub
so we could start gathering the new containers in one place.

Since you have done a lot of work on the social side of things, I think it
would be great if we had your open source projects under the new
OpenDashboards org as plug-n-play components that anyone could use.  To be
honest, I'd really like to plug your social API module to our dashboard and
see where this would take our product. :)

Please feel free to share your thoughts.  I'll also send you an invitation
for our Slack team where we can a more dynamic conversation on all these
topics.

Best regards,
Chris

Re: Welcome to OpenDashboards!

[Chris Spiliotopoulos]

Hi Rene,

just sent you the invitations.  No problem with that.  In the context of
gathering existing resources from the community it would be great if we
just got some links to what's already available as an open source project
(Github, etc).  This way, when we have enough resources to create web site
for OpenDashboards users can find their way around stuff.

Best regards,
Chris

Re: Welcome to OpenDashboards!

[Ron Wheeler]

How are you going to replace the ICLA policy and procedures that you 
have under Apache?
How are you going to guarantee that all contributions are owned by the 
contributor and not covered by an employment agreement?


Do you have the equivalent of the individual and corporate CLAs?

Without this, anyone using OpenDashboard is risking a claim from a 
contributor or their employer for royalties or cessation of use of the 
software pr part of it.

Who will defend the user in court if a claim is made?

The infrastructure at Apache is more than a few servers.
