The community track is all about our communities, so why not do some of the
talks in that form.
but thats just my personal opinion.
My strong +1 to that -- a panel with a cool moderator is worth a couple
of presos in my book ;-)
Do you have a specific topic or question that a panel could address? Needs to be
something that there's actually some room for debate, so that it's not a bunch of
"me too".
A couple of questions come to mind, based on discussions on our mailing lists:
1) Communities at Apache are free to choose either Subversion or Git as their
version control system. Git and more recently, Github integration, has been a
hot topic. This warrants a few questions to panel members, such as how have you
setup your workflow as far as working on bugfixes, codechanges and accepting
patches goes?
2) Apache is all about source releases. This is what we vote on and make
available on our distribution server and mirrors. At the same time, a lot of
projects also provide convenience binaries to many different channels. Quite a
few projects, inside and out of Apache, are adoption fast release cycles, where
it's not uncommon to have a weekly release. What's your take on this and how
could Apache facilitate such a process better?
3) If you were approached by a community that was currently working outside of
Apache and they would ask you what the benefits are of bringing their project
to Apache, what would be your response? Also, where could such a community get
more information about Apache and the incubator?
I'm sure these questions will trigger some responses, controversy or other
questions. :)
Greetings, Marcel
Marcel, all great topics! :)
