Adding preas@ Yes please. I want to work with Sally to figure out how to better amplify ASF related events without significantly adding to her workload. Having tools like those you describe are a great start.
Is it possible to make the source available?

In my day job, I have some tools that use the Meetups.com API to extract upcoming events around the technology I work with (in this case, OpenStack). I then manually filter, because there are always false positives, and do weekly email/wiki/twitter updates based on what I find. The community seems to appreciate it. Today, I ran my tool against the search term 'apache', and then filtered out everything but the ones that were, I thought, obviously related to Apache technologies. I got 35 meetups in the next 7 days. The output of my script is pasted below, for your perusal. This entire process took about 10 minutes. The script, of course, takes seconds, but checking each event can take a little time. And of course 'apache' produces a lot of false positives. The initial list was 81 items. Lots of hiking trails and native american dance classes featured. Anyways, my question is, do you folks think that this would be a useful service to provide to the community - to put this list somewhere each week. Perhaps this list, perhaps somewhere more prominent like on apache.org/events for example. Note that this is the easy bit. Attempting to tweet these events is much more time consuming, because it involves scheduling them at appropriate times for each time zone, and so on. I do that as part of my day job, but in this case, perhaps we can rely in folks around the world to tweet/facebook/g+ individual events? This is a treasure trove of project promotion that we're just leaving on the table, and with a few lines of Python it's there for us to use. Thoughts? --Rich ======================================= The following are the meetups I'm aware of in the coming week where Apache enthusiasts are likely to be present. If you know of others, please let me know, and/or add them to http://apache.org/events If there's a meetup in your area, please consider attending. If you attend, please consider taking a few photos, and possibly even writing up a brief summary of what was covered. --Rich * Fri May 29 in Emeryville, CA, US: Building Real-time Streaming Apps in Minutes -
