Linked Data track (Was Re: ApacheCon EU: What I need help with)
Hey, Linked Data folks, I need some last minute help.
http://tm3.org/aceu2014tracks - see Linked Data tab
There are 9 talks marked Accept, 4 talks marked Average.
I can run 12 talks, or I can run 6 talks, but I need your help selecting
which ones. I had some questions out to Sergio on Friday, but haven't
heard back, and any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Also, there was a mention of a Linked Data social even, to which I asked:
I was also wondering about your listed Social Event. Do you have a
sponsor that would cover drinks/food at such an event? Were you thinking
an informal "meet at a pub" kind of event, or a sponsored party? Is this
something that would be open to all attendees, or would it be a more
private thing? What did you have in mind?
Thanks.

I could try to get some budget to sponsor... Can you provide me the
sponsorship fees? Both thinking on become a regular sponsor and/or
sponsor a social event. And then I see what I can do.

You are completely right.
We did that initial sketch just to see how the day could look like, but
we should await until having a common schedule.

+1
Andy and myself also discussed such option, and Thomas would be fine.
Initially mine was more LDP-centered, but I can take care of both in a
merged one.

Andy already suggested such option, so should be fine too.

They don't really combine - the decision to drop the "engineering" one
and keep the "Lizard" one is the right decision IMO.

This looks reasonable assuming some talks are happy to work within the
shortened slots.
The only problem I have is whether this prevents people with a passing
interest from attending talks easily because they will potentially not
line up nicely with the rest of the schedule and thus may reduce the
potential attendees for some talks. And therefore you miss out on the key
benefit of ApacheCon of attracting attendees with a wider range of
backgrounds and gaining new participants from outside the wider community.
If we want to align the schedule with the rest of the conference then we
need to consider cutting three talks
Therefore I would suggest the following possible alterations (numbers
refer to rows in the spreadsheet as of now):
- Combine Talks 6 & 8 (both which are covering different aspects of the
same project)
- Combine Talks 2 & 3 (since talk 3 describes a project that currently is
only used in the project described in talk 2)
This would give the following talks:
- Lizard - Clustering a RDF Store + Engineering RDF data formats for
system tasks
- Quadrupling your Elephants - RDF and the Hadoop Ecosystem
- Open Annotation support for Apache Stanbol
- Managed Linked Media with Apache Marmotta + Apache Marmotta, an Open
Platform for Linked Data
- Multi Language Content Discovery Through Entity Driven Search
- Towards a Commons RDF library (Panel Discussion)
That gives you just 6 sessions allowing for scheduling a standard 6
session track over a single day
Sergio - Would you and Thomas be willing to combine your talks (or does
Thomas's talk subsume yours anyway?)
Andy - Would you be willing to combine your talks?

+1 It would be good if we could attract related projects particularly
communities like Hadoop where we are already looking to provide APIs that
bridge the gap between the two worlds

Any idea what the approximate cost of such a sponsored event would be?
I may be able to at least enquire about possible sponsorship from my
company and having a figure makes life much easier in this regard though I
can't promise that I'll be able to produce anything.

Personally I'm fine with the result of the evaluation, accepting those
9. Maybe putting in the proposal "Enterprise Integration Patterns in
Apache Stanbol", because I personally know there is much more stuff than
what the proposal describes. Besides we already talked with one of the
guys with two talks (one accepted, one rejected) to maybe merge both
proposals into one talk.
So that would mean 10 talks, booking 2 slots for the panel discussions,
if you still think is a good idea (read bellow).
What the decisions has to be taken? Because I think Andy is on vacations
for some days.

Sorry, I missed that email.
Well, without knowing the general layout, we sketched a full day track
http://s.apache.org/4P5 with 9 slots (mixing short and long ones), plus
a final discussion panel.
How would be the final slots design?

It is also particularly interesting for us to gather together with other
data-intensive projects to discuss the intersection of their approaches
with Linked Data / Semantic Web technologies. There are some projects
(good represented by talks) quite related with other Apache projects
(Hadoop, Solr, Camel, ManifoldCF, etc).
Actually we didn't think so much about it... We do not have sponsor, and
wewere thinking about something much informal and open to everybody. So,
if it is not feasible to allocate it, I think we can manage to gather
together the community with the panel discussion, and try to meet for a
beer somewhere. Although I'd prefer to await for Andy to decide
something about that.
Thanks so much for all your support on this, Rich.
