Struts Hackathon
Hi folks,
I have prepared a 1.5 day event in Augsburg, Germany. Friday will be a
couple of presentations in the evening, Saturday is a whole day
Hackathon on Struts.
I (ASF member and Struts PMC) am organizing it. Three other Struts PMC
members are joining, give the talks and help with the Hackathon.
It's early september.
Currently I am preparing the website in order to make some buzz.
I already found the trademarking requirements and will send a message
for approval when I am done of course.
Is there anything else I need to do or what I could benefit of?
Specifically I am currently considering to ask for a donation for the
Hackathon day, because we don't have any sponsors yet (cost will be
around 25€ per person), but I don't like that much. If there is ASF
support for such mini-events, I would be glad to know about it.
Also I am not sure if there is somebody i need to contact, like f.e. comdev?
Thanks for all help,
Christian

Maybe worth to ping. Three committers are travelling, one even from
abroad. Maybe it is possible to cover some of their travel costs at
least.
Thanks!

You might approach the travevl assistance committee. I do not recall
whether directly using ASF moneys to cover event costs is possible.

OK, good to know. The event will not be too expensive. In worst case
I can pay the expense.
I am going to outreach for local sponsors next week. After reading this,
my idea is to ask for help if it is shortly before the event and nobody
responded. If it works out, good, if not, then maybe attendees will donate.

Thanks. I will subscribe to comdev now and in case I need to ask for support,
I am contacting you again for some assistance.

Thanks for the links. I will think about them. At first glance i like
the "find speaker" tool very much.
All the best,
Christian

Hi Christian,
Events are now under the President and we are in a period of
transition. Trademarks manage the branding aspect and you say you will
have that covered so that's fine. Small events support is provided by
ComDev.
Any approval for funding would need to come from President as ComDev
has no budget for this. Personally I believe we should be building on
the original ConCom ideas of underwriting small events but expecting
organisers to make every effort to secure local sponsorship to cover
those costs. You can see these proposals at [1]
I, as a ComDev member am happy to work with you on this. I have made
the comdev list the primary list on this response (small-events
remains in cc. as we have yet to migrate activity formally to ComDev,
it is currently unclear if that community has the volunteer energy to
support smaller events). As the current EVP I'm also able to help with
any proposal you want to take to President. However, please be aware
that this conversation has not yet been had with the President or the
board. The outline proposal from ConCom is therefore a very good
start, even though it was never really applied in practice (no event
organiser ever asked for underwriting).
In terms of other activities ComDev can help with that PMC should be a
resource for ideas and input, but formal engagement there is not
required. As a small event organiser we invite you to help us improve
the materials available. Currently the resources for event organisers
are quite minimal, see [2] and the event calendar at [3]
