ApacheCon EU: What I need help with
I need to call on all you find people who have offered help with
ApacheCon. I didn't get anything done on it this weekend, and I don't
want to be holding anybody up. These are the things that I can use help
with.
* Reviewing talks - if you're willing, please sign on to the CFP system
-
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp/cfp-list?field_presentation_event_target_id%5B%5D=2260
- and start rating talks. If you don't have authorization to get to that
interface, please tell me and C. Craig Ross <cc...@linuxfoundation.org> to
get that fixed.
* Sorting into tracks/categories. All of the talks are in a Google Doc
at
https://docs.google.com/a/rcbowen.com/spreadsheets/d/1NSFxoGYkzpkorJkRN7CNnZpsaO59qro3L5YjeTBVSZE/edit#gid=0
I need help dividing them up into tracks/topics/projects so that when we
have the ratings, it'll be easy to identify which ones to select and how
to divide them up. Please a) create a tab for what you think a topic
should be, b) COPY (not move) the record from "ALL TALKS" to that tab,
and c) highlight the entry on the ALL TALKS tab in a different color to
indicate that it has been categorized.
* If you are familiar with Budapest, help us with the content for
http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/BudapestTips
* If your project is planning to participate in the hackathon, put some
ideas at http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/HackathonEU14 to get attendees
excited about our on-site activities.
* If your company is interested in sponsoring the event, but doesn't
know how, please email me and Angela Brown <an...@linuxfoundation.org>
Thanks so much for any way that you can help, be it minutes our hours.

I did this to some categories and color coded the tabs as well. Please
feel free to change colors if you find them TOO BRIGHT! :)

I know the answer is coming rather too late to be useful, but…
Not to be dificult, but the division of labor is that we select the content
and the producer does everything else. I don't know what the coffee break
schedule will be, only that there are six talks per track per day.

Could you communicate the time slots for these, so that they can be

Thanks for all your help so far, folks. We're down to the last few days
before we're supposed to be notifying speakers.
Today and Monday (and probably some this weekend) I'll be going through
the various tracks, marking talks (tentatively) accepted or rejected,
and attempting to build some kind of schedule. If you'd like to help,
please get on the #apachecon IRC channel on Freenode, and talk to me, so
that we can coordinate what we're doing.
*Please* don't take anything as final or authoritative before
notifications are sent out. *Nothing* is final at this point.

Things are looking a little better now with only a handful or so NOT

As we talked, The Linked Data tab in the spreadsheet already contains
all proposals with Linked Data as main topic. But there are some mixing
different topics, which I'm not sure if they should go in another tab
(Solr and so on). Not so easy...

Regarding the Linked Data track, there are some proposals:
* Multi Language Content Discovery Through Entity Driven Search
* How to build a cloud-based product using the Apache infrastructure
* LocationMapper
* Contextual Auto-tagging of Images using the surrounding text and
similar images
which fit by topic and target projects, but they may also fit with
others (for instance the first one is Solr-related).
How to you want to approach the categorization of those that are somehow
in the middle of different tracks?

Re: ApacheCon EU: What I need help with
Posted by Rich Bowen <rb...@rcbowen.com>.
Thank you all for your enormous help so far. I can still use some help
if we're going to make a *July 15th* deadline for CFP notifications.
Here's what you can still do:
The spreadsheet is at *http://tm3.org/aceu2014tracks*
* Check the first tab. If something isn't in a track (ie, isn't color
coded in any way), put it in one. Even if it's a track with only one
thing in it. Otherwise it might get overlooked later on.
* Check a track you know something about - if you disagree, move stuff
to another track. Note that some tracks are topic based, while other
tracks are project based. We want to build tracks that people will
attend, not necessarily tracks that are 100% correctly categorized, so
think about topics rather than just projects, if possible.
* If a track is huge, consider splitting into logical subsets (days of
the same track, maybe?) The Big Data track is a likely candidate for
this, as is community. (Internal facing, vs external facing community,
worked well as categorizations at ACNA.)
* Within a track, sort by type - that is, list regular sessions first,
then tutorials, then lightning talks and bofs, with a blank line between
each group.
* And, still, we need reviewers. There are a lot of unreviewed talks.
That's at

Thanks!
