Apache EU Roadshow CFP Closing Soon (23 February)

[Sharan F]

Hello Everyone

This is an initial reminder to let you all know that we are holding an 
Apache EU Roadshow co-located with FOSS Backstage in Berlin on 13^th and 
14^th June 2018. https://s.apache.org/tCHx


The Call for Proposals (CFP) for the Apache EU Roadshow is currently 
open and will close at the end of next week, so if you have been 
delaying making a submission because the closing date seemed a long way 
off, then it's time to start getting your proposals submitted.


So what are we looking for?
We will have 2 Apache Devrooms available during the 2 day Roadshow so 
are looking for projects including incubating ones, to submit 
presentations, panel discussions, BoFs, or workshop proposals. The main 
focus of the Roadshow will be IoT, Cloud, Httpd and Tomcat so if your 
project is involved in or around any of these technologies at Apache 
then we are very interested in hearing from you.


Community and collaboration is important at Apache so if your project is 
interested in organising a project sprint, meetup or hackathon during 
the Roadshow, then please submit it inthe CFP as we do have some space 
available to allocate for these.


If you are wanting to submit a talk on open source community related 
topics such as the Apache Way, governance or legal aspects then please 
submit these to the CFP for FOSS Backstage.


Tickets for the Apache EU Roadshow are included as part of the 
registration for FOSS Backstage, so to attend the Roadshow you will need 
to register for FOSS Backstage. Early Bird tickets are still available 
until the 21^st February 2018.

FOSDEM 2017 Open Source Conference - Brussels

[Sharan F]

Hello Everyone

This email is to tell you about ASF participation at FOSDEM. The event 
will be held in Brussels on 4^th & 5^th February 2017 and we are hoping 
that many people from our ASF projects will be there.


https://fosdem.org/2017/

Attending FOSDEM is completely free and the ASF will again be running a 
booth there. Our main focus will on talking to people about the ASF, our 
projects and communities.


*_Why Attend FOSDEM?_*
Some reasons for attending FOSDEM are:

1. Promoting your project: FOSDEM has up to 4-5000 attendees so is a
   great place to spread the word about your project
2. Learning, participating and meeting up: FOSDEM is a developers
   conference so includes presentations covering a range of
   technologies and includes lots of topic specific devrooms

_*FOSDEM Wiki *_
A page on the Community Development wiki has been created with the main 
details about our involvement at conference, so please take a look


https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/FOSDEM+2017

If you would like to spend some time on the ASF booth promoting your 
project then please sign up on the FOSDEM wiki page. Initially we would 
like to split this into slots of 3-4 hours but this will depend on the 
number of projects that are represented.


We are also looking for volunteers to help out on the booth over the 2 
days of the conference, so if you are going to be there and are willing 
to help then please add your name to the volunteer list.


_*Project Stickers*_
If you are going to be at FOSDEM and do not have any project stickers to 
give away then we may (budget permitting) be able to help you get some 
printed. Please contact me with your requirements.


_*Social Event*_
Some people have asked about organising an ASF social event / meetup 
during the conference. This is possible but we will need know how many 
people are interested and which date works best. The FOSDEM wiki page 
also contains an 'Arrival / Departure' section so so please add your 
details if you would like to participate.


I hope this helps people see some of the advantages of attending FOSDEM 
and we are looking forward to seeing lots of people there from our ASF 
communities.


Thanks
Sharan
