[OT] 360 Flex Denver 2012 - Apache Flex Discovery Room
The Spoon team has been working with John Wilker to get an Apache Flex Discovery Room set up at 360 Flex. John has been kind enough to offer us a room to use during the conference. That being said, I'm going to double-post to this ML what I had posted to the Spoon Google Group this afternoon.
Thanks John! Also, if you haven't register for 360Flex yet, you should: http://360flex.eventbrite.com/?ref=ebtn
=============================================================================
POST FROM SPOON GOOGLE GROUP
http://groups.google.com/group/open-spoon-community/browse_thread/thread/7998571274be653a
=============================================================================
Thanks to Wilker, we are getting one of the rooms at 360Flex.
Originally, the thoughts were that it would be a bugquash but with the
delays in the code and JIRA imports to ASF, we've changed our
direction for this 360 opportunity.
So, our thought is that we're going to be having an Apache Flex
Discovery Room at 360Flex. This will be a room where people can cruise
by, learn 1on1 on how to download the sdk, make changes, and compile.
Also, it would be a good place to have some mentors around to help
answer questions about Apache Flex and just show people the lay of the
land.
That being said, please provide some feedback if you're interested:
1. Did you want to help man the room? Let us know. We'll be needing at
least one Spoon/Apache Flex person manning the room at all times.
2. Did you want to offer to be a room mentor? Let us know and tell us
the types of things that you'd be down with being an expert about.
3. Are there any ideas you might have on how to make the Apache Flex
Discovery Room a success?
Thanks!

Hate to not take a dedicated slot right now... you can put me in as a
floater. I'll probably spend most of the time in there (assuming

Before committing to buying drinks and snacks and stuff; run it by
John / 360|Conferences. I know their are weird restrictions about food
and what they can do. Since 360|Flex is providing the room (which I
presume will be a conference room and not a hotel room); they may be in
violation of some contractual issue if they bring in "outside" snacks.

Hi Jun, I'm not sure yet what I'll be doing at 360|Flex, I'm
volunteering to help John out with the event, but I would like to help
out with the Apache Flex Discovery Room when I'm available. I just
don't know what that availability will look like until the conference.

Hi,
> 1. Plan what we'll be doing in there. Justin had suggest doing some short talks or open discussions which I agree would be a good idea. So now we just need to figure out who, what, and when.
I'm happy to do a short talk on compiling your own SDK with Flex builder.
Other talk ideas:
-Talk about the Apache process and Apache way
-Open discussion. Now that the compiler has been donated what can we improve?
-Open discussion. How can the community contribute. What are low hanging fruit exists that we can do something about now?
-Testing your code. Apache + Flex Unit + Mockolate (Perhaps Mike and/or Drew can respectively talk about this) + perhaps the OS SDK smoke tests?
Personally I'd love to see something about Mustella ie What can we expect and when we will get it? :-)
Thanks,
Justin

[OT] 360 Flex - Time to schedule out the Discovery Room - (was: [OT] 360 Flex Denver 2012 - Apache Flex Discovery Room)
Posted by Jun Heider <ju...@realeyes.com>.
360Flex is going to be donating a room for us to use as the Apache Flex Discovery Room. [1]
In addition to hosting the "Meet the Apache Flex Team" Birds of a Feather on Tuesday night, the room should be our HQ during 360Flex.
That being said, it's now time to:
1. Plan what we'll be doing in there. Justin had suggest doing some short talks or open discussions which I agree would be a good idea. So now we just need to figure out who, what, and when.
2. Figure out who will be manning the room from Apache Flex. We need at least one room helper and one room mentor per time slot. (See the time slots below)
So far I know the following people have expressed interest in helping:
- Nicholas Kwiatkowski
- Jonathan Campos
- Justin Mclean
- Alex Harui (At least during the BOF on Tuesday night)
- Myself
- Scott Sheridan
- Tiayr Cannon
Here are the time slots available (I've let Wilker know we're not interfering with keynotes, general sessions, or lunch):
Monday
- 10:50a - 12p - OPEN
- 1:20p - 2:30p - OPEN
- 2:40p - 3:50p - OPEN
- 4p - 5:10p - OPEN

- Evening - Meet the Apache Flex Team BOF
Wednesday
- 10:10a - 11:20a - OPEN
- 12:20p - 1:30p - OPEN
Please respond to this thread with:
1. Interest in being a (helper and/or mentor)
2. The time slot you will be manning the room
3. If you want to do a short talk and/or open discussion the title and time slot for it.
I'll be monitoring this thread, first come, first served, and I'll post an official schedule when we've gotten everything figured out.

Yes, Nominate the Apache Flex MVP!
1) On3 is donating (2) full-conference passes (US $599 value) to the top two nominated individuals* that are providing the greatest benefit to the Apache Flex project!
2) Tell us why you, or someone you know, is your MVP selection (most deserving) of these passes based on their contributions to the Apache Flex project. The ~85 most recent Apache Flex commenters will then vote on your nominations and decide who the passes will go to.
3) Send the nominations directly to: sguthmann@on3solutions.com before March 23, 2012, with the subject line: "Apache Flex MVP Nomination", in 200 words or less. The eligible winners will be announced on the dev list so the 2 elected MVPs can make their plans to attend 360|Flex as On3's guest! (*Because 360|Flex speakers and sponsors already have passes, they are ineligible to win. Only winning nominees that are able to attend will be awarded a pass to 360|Flex.)

Subject: [OT] 360 Flex Denver 2012 - Apache Flex Discovery Room
The Spoon team has been working with John Wilker to get an Apache Flex Discovery Room set up at 360 Flex. John has been kind enough to offer us a room to use during the conference. That being said, I'm going to double-post to this ML what I had posted to the Spoon Google Group this afternoon.
Thanks John! Also, if you haven't register for 360Flex yet, you should: http://360flex.eventbrite.com/?ref=ebtn
=============================================================================
POST FROM SPOON GOOGLE GROUP
http://groups.google.com/group/open-spoon-community/browse_thread/thread/7998571274be653a
=============================================================================
Thanks to Wilker, we are getting one of the rooms at 360Flex.
Originally, the thoughts were that it would be a bugquash but with the delays in the code and JIRA imports to ASF, we've changed our direction for this 360 opportunity.
So, our thought is that we're going to be having an Apache Flex Discovery Room at 360Flex. This will be a room where people can cruise by, learn 1on1 on how to download the sdk, make changes, and compile.
Also, it would be a good place to have some mentors around to help answer questions about Apache Flex and just show people the lay of the land.
That being said, please provide some feedback if you're interested:
1. Did you want to help man the room? Let us know. We'll be needing at least one Spoon/Apache Flex person manning the room at all times.
2. Did you want to offer to be a room mentor? Let us know and tell us the types of things that you'd be down with being an expert about.
3. Are there any ideas you might have on how to make the Apache Flex Discovery Room a success?
Thanks!

I try to repeat: "I (someone else too) can draft a design for a button
with templates of the company printing the buttons."
"If someone should design that please let us know where you want to let
the buttons be printed.".

The spec should be from company which will make those prints. We've done
something similar for one of our clients and and we got template file
from company which was selected by client (most them should have this on
their websites).
I think most of production/printing companies have a couple of universal
sizes and shapes of those metal pins/buttons (I saw there are also
rectangular shapes http://www.pinpointbadges.com/images/button_badges.jpg).
It would be best if you could choose where you want to make them and let
us know. We could examine possible shapes and sizes and choose something
that will fit our needs for nice design. Those things doesn't take much
time to design so it no big deal.
BTW. some of those firms have minimum order amount (in our case it was 200).

Sorry, I can write code specs, but I don't know the first thing about design
specs.
When I opened up your proposals, they look to be about 1.75" in diameter and
looked like a good size. I wouldn't want it to be much larger or smaller.
I think I would be ok with #3 as well if you squeezed "Apache Flex" on the
left of the logo, even if you have to shrink the font down.
I only mentioned a rectangle in case there was some design you could imagine
that would be far superior to these. Please don't spend too much time on
it just because of me. I'd be fine going with #5 or a modified #3.

Ok. It would be much easier to design something if we had some sort of

A rectangular button is also possible. To me, it should have the full logo,
the words "Apache Flex" and "Committer" on it. Only #5 met those

You can see our initial designs at [1]. I don't know what size of pins
you want to use but the logo don't fit well in circle with full name
(especially on small circle)
We don't have a clear favorite but we tend to like more the ones with

if needed.

I don't want t-shirts for the conference, just buttons. I don't want to be
around someone who is wearing the same t-shirt for 3 days.
We only need maybe between 25-50 of them (I would keep extras to give to new
committers) and I'm willing to pay for them if we're talking in the range of
$50.

Do you mean something like [1]?
Initially we (Fuse Collective) were planning to design those and bunch
of other stuff but we were having hard time to put this on our schedule...
Anyway, if someone (spoon?) will put their money on printing this stuff
we can definitely commit to designing t-shirts and pins/buttons for 360
Flex. I can schedule this with deadline on 26th of march and that should
give you enough time for printing.
I was thinking about designing t-shirts specifically for commiters and
maybe spoon members (to show how logo can be used in coobranding
scenario). Would you be interested in those, or you just want the
pins/buttons?

I was about to ask Wilker about a "Meet the Apache Flex Team" time slot. I
think there used to be a "Meet the Flex Team" at past conferences, but I
didn't see it on this year's schedule. Can you look into that as well?
Also, I've been thinking about buttons or ribbons for Apache Flex
