Hi,

I will be able to help on the first day of the event. Olivier can you
please help me get a badge.

Note that I had already registered as an assistant with my iemejia@ apache
id, I hope that's not an issue to change it, I want the luxury of access to
coffee :)

See you tomorrow!
Ismaël

Re: ASF booth at OpenSource Experience Paris

[Ryan Skraba <ry...@skraba.com>]

Hey all, I just wanted to report back to the community about this event.

I was only there for one of the two days.  There were about 5 of us,
which was satisfying because some of us could stay at the table while
others visited the expo or met with others during the day.

For an "Open Source Experience", it's a bit surprising how many
attendees were only peripherally aware of the Foundation (although the
HTTP server had pretty good recognition).  There were many students,
but this year there were also quite a few people in "reconversion" --
in the process of changing their career towards software and tech.
People are generally interested in contributing, especially to grow
their experience. Free stickers are a really nice way to talk about
how wildly different the software projects are and some of the common
ground that the ASF provides between them in terms of tools and
governance.

Most of the questions we had were around first-time contributions, and
how *my* employer earns money from open source (once it was clear that
the ASF is not my employer).  For the attendees that were familiar
with the ASF, I pushed the Community over Code Europe 2024
conference[1], with some pretty positive feedback!

Thanks so much to Olivier, Hervé, JBO, Ismael for being there!

Ryan
