| |
| <h1 id="volunteer-to-help-at-apachecon">Volunteer to help at ApacheCon</h1> |
| <p>Coordination of ApacheCon happens on two lists:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The private <a href="mailto:planners@apachecon.com">planners@apachecon.com</a> mailing list for most of the |
| planning work</li> |
| <li>The public <a href="mailto:apachecon-discuss@apache.org">apachecon-discuss@apache.org</a> mailing list for general |
| discussion, calls for volunteers, announcements, and so on.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>At this time, we can use help in the following areas - typically for each ApacheCon that happens. |
| To volunteer, please send email to the <em>apachecon-discuss</em> mailing list indicating your availability.</p> |
| <h2 id="calls-for-papers">Calls For Papers</h2> |
| <p>The CFP for each ApacheCon draws hundreds of submissions about projects all |
| around the ASF. We always need volunteers who can show up <strong>on time</strong> |
| when the CFP closes to help rate talks and schedule specific tracks. |
| Many Apache PMCs are now managing their own tracks or co-located events |
| at ApacheCon, which is great.</p> |
| <h2 id="promotions-and-publicity">Promotions and Publicity</h2> |
| <p>While the ApacheCon Planners work with VP, Marketing & Publicity for some |
| basic services, we always could use Apache committers retweeting and |
| amplifying the official notices about conferences.</p> |
| <p>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/apachecon">@ApacheCon</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/apachecon">@TheASF</a>, and help spread their message about upcoming events.</p> |
| <h2 id="website">Website</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Keep this <code>events.apache.org</code> <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/concom/site/trunk/content">website source code updated</a>. Possibly make it look better.</li> |
| <li>Work with Infra and the planning team to improve the site design.</li> |
| <li>At the end of the event, archive the current event information to the past events area, and start the new event section.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2 id="hackathon-coordinator">Hackathon Coordinator</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Alert projects that a hackathon is available for each conference. Encourage them to |
| have a plan ahead of time as to what they’ll work on</li> |
| <li>Make signs for the various tables</li> |
| <li>Welcome people and help them find the community that they’re looking for</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2 id="local-interest">Local interest</h2> |
| <p>Preferably someone that lives local to the venue: Update the website to indicate what the local attractions are - restaurants, beaches, bars, dance venues, and so on. Update content in wiki, and work with Producer to update the main event website.</p> |
| <h2 id="meet-the-experts-coordinator">“Meet the experts” coordinator</h2> |
| <p>Identify people that can participate in a “meet the experts” area. Determine what this entails. Coordinate scheduling of this event with Producer and VP Conferences. Promote the event.</p> |
| <h2 id="lightning-talks">Lightning Talks</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Write up web page defining the lightning talks</li> |
| <li>Promote the lightning talks to our community</li> |
| <li>Work with LightningTalk MCs to pre-register volunteers that want to speak<</li> |
| <li>(Maybe) find an organization that wants to sponsor this event and |
| work with Producer to determine the nature of the event and when it will be</li> |
| </ul> |
