Of course!

Do I sense an invitation here? ;-)

This would be a perfect question to ask on dev@community.apache.org (I
think you need to be subscribed
to be able to post -- for that just send an empty email to
dev-subscribe@community.apache.org).

I can help take it from there.

Totally! In fact, if you want somebody to present on the "Apache Way" governance
model and how it is proving to be one of the most successful ways of
growing developer
communities you know the guy. That would be the same guy who right
about now craves
your crepes ;-)

Thanks,
Roman.

Cool, if it were East coast I'd want to come (but no-one funds my travel
these days).

Re: community sponsorship, our current policy is not to do this for
non-Apache project conferences.  The ASF is very sensitive to our
vendor-neutral and project-first ways, so we would only list our feather
icon when the project is being run by/for an Apache PMC for that project.

Hope to see folks at either ApacheCon/BigData or OSCON!

Fyi, once Roman confirms his talk title an abstract, he will be on the schedule to share his knowledge on the Apache way of building global open source Dev communities. I'm excited! Thanks!

Re: Apache/Linux foundation outreach?

Ciao Shane!

1. Agreed. It would only make sense if someone like Roman spoke at our
event specifically on his experience of growing, mentoring, nurturing ASF
communities, which would be very desirable content for our event.
If that were the case, would it be appropriate to alert your users of
Roman's participation/ASF's representation at our conference via email or
social?

On another thread with Roman, I gave more details about how I'd like
another speaker on open source community building. If it's relevant, I'm
also looking for discussion of how developer relations practices may differ
between engaging with dev communities from the heart of SV vs. in various
countries around the world. If Roman (or another ASF speaker) has
experiences and opinions on that topic, I feel that it would give great
guidance to our audience and enrich the conversation.

Let me know if I'm going down the wrong path, but I feel that someone
representing the ASF would be the right expert to talk about one of these
topics or both together. What do you think?

2. I will happily provide crepes as well. I don't see guidelines for crepes
here (http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/events), but we can update the
docs and provide the necessary crepes, both savory and sweet.

[?]🗼🌯😄🎉

Best,
Tamao

Why would we provide our brand as a sponsor to a third party event that
is not directly providing education or track content about specific
Apache projects?

Honest question: I'm curious to see what people think about it.  If
folks have good answers for this, but haven't read our event branding
policy, you should (since it's somewhat related):

Well, please ignore the rest of this email (it wasn't meant to be CCed

part still stands as a good question for this crowd:

Thoughts on something like devrelcon.com? Since I'm local to the SF
Bay Area I can
volunteer as a speaker. A question that I don't know the answer to is:
whether ASF
has ever considered to be a 'media sponsor', etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Roman.
