Hi All, Below are notes from yesterday's #MesosCon program committee meeting.
Dave 07/24/2014 *Attendees* Dave Lester, Isabel Jimenez, Matt Trifiro *Attendee/Registration Update* Revised from what was discussed during the 7/24 meeting: as of today (July 25), there are 187 total MesosCon registrants: 96 MesosCon, 91 registered for LinuxCon with the MesosCon add-on. There was previously an error in the attendee reporting which inflated the number of LinuxCon attendees also attending MesosCon; it was discovered this morning. Many speakers and sponsors have yet to register for the event but intend to, so we expect registration numbers to increase in the coming week. *Sponsor Update* No sponsorship updates this week; there are still opportunities including the possibility of sponsoring a potential #MesosCon reception after day one. [note: this reception will depend on support we receive] Interested parties may contact Dave Lester (dles...@twitter.com) for more info. *Schedule Update* We discussed the session-to-session flow of the conference, and how we will ensure that the program is balanced and approachable to both new and power users. The program committee will continue to discuss over email, Dave is reaching out to speakers on the program to do a quick sync; will report back to the group in coming weeks. *PR / Media* Hackathon details/announcement have been announced: http://mesos.apache.org/blog/mesoscon-2014-hackathon-details-announced/, and will be cross-posted to the Atlassian blog next week.
