It depends if we have resources to sustain a good booth, no? ("Resources" would
include but not be limited to humans, their analogues, and convertible value
tokens of debt.) I am guessing that it would be fairly easy to come up with an
introductory presentation on Apache's relevance and importance to, say, could
development, with much of the message being to underscore that the foundations
of many corporate and government "clouds" are Apache projects—Hadoop, for
starters, but also Spark, etc., and that this makes for good things. That there
are also incompatibilities, both of a legacy and modern nature, and that they
can claim to be also open source, adds to the interest value.
But it would give us a good chance to foreground the Apache Way. I think that's
important.
