Google's support framework for community-led meetups
Hi everyone,
I have been working closely with Gris Cuevas to develop a framework to
increase transparency on how Google Open Source supports community-led
events. Below you will find a table that identifies different event goals,
community roles, and the type of support Google Open Source can offer in
each case.
If you would like to request support from Google for your meetup, please
follow the meetup support request process
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mT5RVdyo_g19O-6LFtXb0H2Z5OXZ9_BLtDIho4Q3b7I/edit#heading=h.b44lcgnpxffu>.
Can someone help me put this information, along with the support framework
below, under the Community tab [1] of the Apache Beam website?
We look forward to continuing partnering with our community organizers to
help Beam grow even more! If you have any questions, please let me know.

The definitions are in the email. There are 2 criteria for contributor, and
there are 3 criteria for contributor and amplifier. The one extra is about
engaging other contributors in becoming community organizers, for example,
by starting a new meetup group.

I'm not sure what you refer to with what Google does now (I am aware of
different current and past attempts, but not sure which one you are
referring to. If you gave an example, I could answer more specifically).
What it means is that we will work with engineering teams to distribute
latest updates on features, and create new content requested, for example,
for educational purposes.
I don't know what you mean by "the branding of it". We are intending to
formalize all kinds of support that are currently ongoing for meetups, some
of these things may already be happening for different events; the
intention of this process is to centralize request and offer transparency
about the type of support that is available.

Are you asking about Meetup.com fees? I don't fully understand this example.
Financial support for meetups is available now only for catering services
and swag.
This process IS NOT for conference sponsorship.

Hi Maria,
This might be useful in user@ as well?
Happy to walk you through editing webpage submitting a PR. Then up to
appropriate committer as to whether to approve. Write me off list and we
can find time. A less focused walkthrough (including way more than you
need just for that, in case wanting to get an independent start):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtPslSdAPcM (will reoffer a more polished
version at next summit).
Some questions for clarity:
* What is an Amplifier and how distinguished from contributor?
* Do you have some examples of how Google Open Source contributing
content? Is that different than what Google does and it's engineers? Or
that's just the branding of it?
* When talking about company and/or Google Open Source sponsorships, are we
talking about Money (ex: Meetup sometimes solicits to broker companies to
pay for an advertising slot in a venue when can gather bodies in a room --
same as conference sponsorships)? Or other/open?
Overall this is helpful, as someone trying to help build
local communities in a number of cities.
Cheers,
Austin
