Request: New Mailing List for Security-oriented community

[Brian Proffitt]

As efforts like the Open Source Security Foundation gain traction in the
FLOSS ecosystem, the ASF has a unique opportunity to provide guidance to
its projects on the topic of security best practices. To facilitate an open
and collaborative process, the group would like to request the
configuration of a new mailing list, secur...@community.apache.org.

The new list will enable interested participants and members of the ASF
share best practices and build a collaborative community around infosec
that ultimately should create a more security development environment for
Apache projects.

If at all possible, I would like to request approval for this new list
as soon as possible. Mark would like to reference this week in his
ApacheCon keynote, and due to personal travel, I was a bit negligent in
getting this request out in a timely manner. This is my fault, and I
apologize for the rush request.

Thanks,
Brian

[Announce] Community Over Code Registration Now Open

[Brian Proffitt]

All:

The organizers of Community Over Code North America have announced today[1]
the opening of registration for the event. Formerly known as ApacheCon,
Community Over Code is the flagship event of the ASF, showcasing content
from many of the project communities at the ASF. Community Over Code North
America will be held at the Halifax Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova
Scotia October 7-10, 2023.

This year, Community Over Code will feature four days of sessions, with
tracks focusing on Search, Big Data, Cassandra, Community,  Financial Tech,
Geospatial, Internet of Things, Community, Geospatial, Cassandra, Financial
Tech, Search, and many other topics. Each evening will also feature Birds
of a Feather (BoF) sessions, where communities will have an opportunity for
freeform discussion and planning around our various projects.

Early bird registration is available from now until July 31, 2023 for
US$500 per attendee, a savings of US$250. After that, regular registration
for the event will be US$750 until September 21. Late registration begins
on September 22, at US$850.

Apache committers can register for US$250. If you want to take advantage of
this, please use the following steps:

   1. When starting the registration process, please use your apache.org email
   address with your personal information.
   2. Select the Committer category.
   3. Enter this code to apply a discount to get the price to US$250:
   *CCNACOMMIT23*

*Note*: *If you have applied to be a speaker, you should wait until
notification that your talk was accepted before registering. This way you
won't have to go through the refund process.*

Registered attendees can take advantage of discounted rooms at hotels near
the venue. To view all registration rates, deadlines, and room block
information, visit the event’s Registration page[2].

*Call for Proposals*
Speakers who can address content spanning ASF projects, open source
governance, community, or software development are encouraged to submit a
proposal. The call for presentations[3] is open now through July 13, 2023.

*Event Sponsorship*
For organizations interested in sponsoring Community Over Code, visit the
Community Over Code Sponsorship page[4].

*Travel Assistance*
The ASF Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) provides financial aid to members
of the open source community who are interested in attending a Community
Over Code event but face financial hardships that make attending difficult
or impossible. Applications for Community Over Code North America are being
accepted until July 22, 2023. For more information, please read the latest
blog[5]. To apply, visit https://tac-apply.apache.org/.

None that I am aware of. I don't know if there is even a localization
policy in existence. I don't have a problem posting translations to
existing articles, and I recommend we continue to post English
articles on the main feed, with links to translated articles added
later.

The big problem for localized articles is resources... translation
takes time. There is also the real problem of mistranslated articles,
which would be very difficult for M&P to review. For instance, I
technically speak German, but would not trust my skills to properly
ensure an article would get across the original's intent and wording.

Updates to Project Media Guidelines

[Brian Proffitt]

The M&P team announces some new resources for TLPs and Incubator
projects to use when they need assistance on marketing and publicity.

Available today are a new collection of guidance pages in the ASF M&P
wiki space[1]. This collection of pages includes

Publicity Guidelines for Top Level Projects
Public Relations Services
Incubator Graduation Services
Blog Submissions
Social Media Services
Brand Services

The content for the first page, "Publicity Guidelines for Top Level
Projects," formerly resided on apache.org[2], but now has been linked
from there instead. This follows the general shift to use apache.org
as an external-facing information site for the public and getting
useful "documentation" for ASF participants on the wiki or
community.apache.org.

We look forward to adding more helpful content in the days to come.

Peace,
Brian

[ASF M&P & Conferences] Community Over Code logo for project sites

All:

ASF’s flagship event, Community Over Code, is happening October 7-10
in Halifax, Nova Scotia (formerly called ApacheCon).

I would like to ask all projects to add the logo and event URL to your

projects who have already done this! Or, if you'd like, promote the
event with the logos on your project's social media channels.

Logos:

HI Dave



We are prepping to launch State of Open Con 24 which is taking place on 6
and 7 of February shortly. Please don’t share dates etc until we do.



We will be sharing a number of brands as sponsors and table holders at
launch. Would Apache like a free table and to be part of the event. These
are being sold at £5k.



We will not be making a general offer to not for profits at this stage
although will consider any requests if anyone wants a table but are
inviting key not for profit partners to have tables as we focus on selling
to enterprises. Apache is an organisation we consider a key partner and we
hope you will want to join us.

press@ to shift to new mailing list

[Brian Proffitt]

All:

In an effort to better coordinate communications, the pr...@apache.org
mailing list will soon be shifting to incoming press/media inquiries
and subsequent conversations only. Conversations around marketing &
publicity, website updates, GitHub notifications, and anything else
under M&P's purview will take place on mark...@apache.org.

This move is being done to ensure clear and consistent communication
with the media, as recent unsolicited comments from press@ subscribers
to media have caused needless confusion.

I encourage everyone on the press@ list to subscribe to
mark...@apache.org as soon as possible. I plan to set press@ to
all-messages moderation on November 20.

Thank you!

Re: [wg-socialmedia] Creating a BlueSky account?

[Brian Proffitt]

When the group is ready, we can go over approaches to making this happen.
One thing to keep in mind is that any social media account counts as
public-facing messaging, so actual work on this would fall under the
auspices of Marketing & Publicity, because ultimately this acount would be
speaking on behalf of the Foundation. That said, we would certainly
welcome the opportunity to work together with whomever wants to get this to
happen.

Re: [C/C Europe 25] [DISCUSS] Where to hold the conference

[Brian Proffitt]

Those larger cities are very attractive and easy to get to, but they are
also very expensive, both in terms of venues and also attendee expense
(hotels, food). You may want to consider smaller cities such as Lyon,
Krakow, or Dusseldorf, which, spending on the city, may be cheaper.

Timing will be key, too. Doing an event in June, during high season, is
also making things more expensive.

Re: [C/C Europe 25] [DISCUSS] Where to hold the conference

[Brian Proffitt]

One thing to keep in mind will be that any candidate venue/city will
undergo scrutiny on various criteria, such as:

Ease of travel to the location (proximity to major airports, travel time)
Cost of the city for attendees
Cost of the city for planning organizers
Immigration access (ease of getting visas)
Size of venue, and flexibility of venue's space

That's just a few. You all can talk about what's the neatest place to hold
a conference, but that is just one aspect of many required to hold a
successful event.

Call for Volunteers: Community Over Code NA ASF Booth

[Brian Proffitt]

The organizers for Community Over Code are putting together the elements
for a great event in Denver this October. One of the key elements of the
event is the Community booth.

Specifically, we need volunteers to staff the booth during booth expo hours
and talk about all things Apache, hand out stickers and swag, and generally
provide a positive resource for attendees.

If you are interested and plan to attend the event, please let me know
off-list!

Thanks,
BKP

Re: [Marketing] Open Source India 2024

[Brian Proffitt]

[Moving to markpub@, since this is an internal conversation]

Since we are participating in this event, we can do some social media
leading up to it. It would help if we knew a little more about what ASF
would be doing. Just the booth, what do you plan to discuss with attendees,
that sort of thing?

Let us know, and we can schedule some posts.
