[DISCUSS] Fwd: Re: FOSDEM 2016 - Call for Participation

[replies to: dev@openoffice.apache.org]

Hello all --

OpenOffice has been participating in FOSDEM for quite some
time. For the upcoming FOSDEM in 2016, the ASF will also be
participating. Because of the new ASF "stand" participation,
it has been suggested to request a set of tables -- one to
accommodate the ASF as a single entity, and additional
tables as needed for individual project participation.

The discussion thread on this has stared on
dev@community.apache.org if you want to take a look at that
list. Also, please see the wiki reference below for
additional details on what has been suggested.

Of course, as in the past, we will lend whatever support we
can to volunteers at FOSDEM. Please express your interest so
this can be coordinated with the ASF plans for FOSDEM.

Thanks.

Indeedy, I was notified by FOSDEM staff about this, and will
note that
the ASF has formally requested a stand at FOSDEM 2016.

Time will tell what sort of stand we'll get (how big etc),
but we should
plan ahead and _assume_ we'll get two tables (might get one,
might get
three, but let's assume two).

This will require 3-4 volunteers at most times (not to speak
of endless
amounts of swag to give away), so I would imagine we'd need
at least
double that in available people, so as to do it in shifts.

Depending on the number of projects that are interested in a
presence at
FOSDEM, we'll likely do a rotation, so that each project get
N hours of
fame at the stand. FOSDEM has notified us that they are
really limited
on space this time around, due to the huge interest in this
from FOSS
communities, so if we can help them by rotating a bit, that
would work
out for everyone. Having been to previous FOSDEMs, I can
also say with
some certainty, that you won't risk getting the "boring time
slot", as
the stands are pretty much always crowded.

With regards,
Daniel.

Both booths/stands and devrooms are accepted (or rejected) directly by 
the FOSDEM organizers, with (as far as I know) no way to influence the 
decision. But organizers prefer to see devrooms that focus on one topic 
rather than one software and that gather similar projects.

Acceptance of a stand and/or a devroom for the same project are 
independent. So a stand for OpenOffice is unrelated to a devroom for ODF 
Editors. And a stand for Apache is unrelated to a devroom for Big Data 
projects. And different Apache projects can show up in different 
devrooms since they apply to different areas.

I'm going to submit a proposal for an ODF Editors devroom too, similar 
to http://s.apache.org/ved (the one we sent last year).

Regards,
   Andrea.

Hi!

just wanted to let you guys know that I've just submitted
a proposal for Big Data and Data Science devroom for
FOSDEM. ASF is the org that can make it a really successfull
DEVROOM and last year the feedback was asking for
something like this big time.

Not sure how to increase our chances of being accepted,
but would love any feedback on that.

Thanks,
Roman.

Time passed and it seems today (Friday) is the last day for proposing a 
stand/booth. As things stand now, with no information at all, probably 
it would make sense to submit a quick request on behalf of OpenOffice 
saying that we would accept (and we recommend!) that the request is 
merged with the Apache one (I mean, the one reportedly sent by Daniel), 
and that Apache can get adequate table space for the merged booth, on 
the ground floor.

I'm not going to submit it; I'm leaving this to Michael for 
consideration. Of course, if we already know that Daniel's request will 
be accepted, there is no reason for submitting this "extra" request.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Before your posting, I've no doubts, that Apache will get a booth at
FOSDEM, if they ask for it. Especially, if they say, they will come with
Apache OpenOffice.

Apache is one of the major (and greatest ;-) ) projects in the Free
Software world.

We might get a problem, if both booths are granted, but in different
places. It isn't a proper behavior to quit one of the booths in that case.

I was assuming/understanding that we would have sent both the OpenOffice 
request (highly likely to be approved; but less important) and the ASF 
request (new, so less likely; but more important). And that, if both 
were approved, we would merge the tables, or if one was approved we

Participation at FOSDEM happens in different ways. As for the 
tables/stands/booths, the understanding in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/FOSDEM+2016
is that OpenOffice will still have to ask for a booth independently, as 
we (specifically, Michael and Mechtilde) have always done.

If then BOTH the OpenOffice table and the generic ASF table are 
accepted, then it surely makes sense to ask to be placed next to each 
other and to share space in the most effective way. But at the moment 
nothing changes with respect to the usual process.

Deadline for applying is:
-  9 October (very close) for a devroom (track)
- 13 November for stands

Regards,
