I believe we need a better definition of what we count as "official 
Apache events". One I've heart before that made some sense would be 
"organised through planners@ and featuring Apache exclusive content".


Please refine the definition to make it a better fit.


I consider an event official if one of the following:

* it is put on with the blessing, and participation, of a project PMC. 
(Eg MesosCon)
* It is put on by the VP Events, or someone delegated by her/him. (Eg 
Apache EU Roadshow)


Approving a third-party event that does not have the *participation* of 
a PMC makes it approved, but not official.


Things like meetups which are put on by a local user community are 
community events. I suppose a particular meetup might be part of 
category 1 above, but with dozens of them a week (sometimes dozens a 
day!) it's pretty hard to keep up with them. But if a particular PMC 
wishes to promote one of them, and treat it like an official event, more 
power to them. This is something that is wholely delegated to those 
PMCs, as discussed and decided in the dim and distant past, and probably 
not documented anywhere.


Which ... speaking of the various events websites, we also need a page 
somewhere that documents these policies/definitions for posterity. That 
has been on my ToDo list for a very, very long time. Indeed, in my 
todo.txt, aspects of this task are currently items 4, 5, 9, 11, and 12. 
Alas, smaller numbers indicate older items, not higher priority.

In my past life, I would have said "official Apache events" are only the
events that:

- Are branded as Apache events - "ApacheCon*" or anything with "Apache"
in the name.  Otherwise, how does the world know they're official?

- Are organized by planners@ or by an Apache PMC or otherwise in a
situation where VP Conferences or a PMC has a direct and official say in
defining the conference content.  As opposed to a commercial company
that's often competing with our projects.

The issue is - who decides?  If *we* don't have a clear definition and
stamp of approval, we've seen in the past there are vendor-run events
that regularly hijack our project's trademarks for their own benefit -
and sometimes to our project's detriment.

Events should only show on our calendar with the magic "official Apache
Event" stamp if it uses our branding directly.   But I also agree that
we should make it much easier to list the many other events in the same
calendar, both at the ASF level as well as at a project level.

Do we actually need more than an "ASF Community Calendar" which lists
anything that this PMC finds good to have there?

It can be as simple as https://s.apache.org/ac8g but with several
shared calendars (to get different colors for ApacheCon, PMC led
events, other tech conferences, board meetings etc) grouped as a
single embeddable calendar, with Google Calendar does.

And then people can ask here to have their events included, and we
give write access to our PMC members.

We could then retire the http://events.apache.org/ calendar, which IMO
doesn't bring more value above such a shared set of calendars.

Re: Who owns events.apache.org?

2018-04-09 Thread Kevin A. McGrail
Hi Daniel, so I think it's just a POV difference.  I'm +1 to consolidating
and repointing things to ApacheCon for all the 2018 and 2019 planned
events.

My -1 was related to this point:  2) have apachecon.com be about apachecon
only.  I view the Apache Roadshows as a well named "mini" apachecon and
that they belong on the apachecon.com.

Rich might disagree though so I would bow to him but I think he weighed in
already with his preferred url.

regards,
KAM

Re: Who owns events.apache.org?

2018-04-09 Thread Kevin A. McGrail
Hi Daniel,

I am -1 to maintain multiple places for Apache Events.  I think
events.apache.org, www.apache.org/foundation/events, etc. should all
redirect to apachecon.com and all energies and efforts should be spent on
maintaining that site as the source of truth.

To my knowledge all the other places are grossly out of date and
apachecon.com is the only one with current data.

Does that clarify things?  Is there some initiative that I'm unaware of
that this is dousing with cold water?

Regards,
KAM

Are you saying "can the whole idea" or are you suggesting changes to 
where the roadshow website lives? Throwing a -1 into it seems a bit much.




I'd likely point www.a.o/events to events.apache.org and point that to
apachecon.com.

If so, I think there should at least be a redirect in its place.

I made it point to current events, and included a "see source" link,
once I figured out where the source was:

  https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/concom/site/trunk/content/

That's what I'd say, IMO.  A future task will be for you (Rich) to
simply choose one URL that you want to be the landing page, and then -
separately - we can figure out who's going to volunteer to migrate
content (or at least landing pages and redirects) to that central URL.
Personally, I like events.a.o since it's easy to remember, but I just
dabble here.  8-)

Hi Rich,

Anyway, I am a newbie in ASF also, hope this can help you.

b) I, with my VP Events hat, own it.

#) Nobody owns it. It is a pit of despair, sadness, and bitrot, and
