Ciao Shane! 1. Agreed. It would only make sense if someone like Roman spoke at our event specifically on his experience of growing, mentoring, nurturing ASF communities, which would be very desirable content for our event. If that were the case, would it be appropriate to alert your users of Roman's participation/ASF's representation at our conference via email or social?
On another thread with Roman, I gave more details about how I'd like another speaker on open source community building. If it's relevant, I'm also looking for discussion of how developer relations practices may differ between engaging with dev communities from the heart of SV vs. in various countries around the world. If Roman (or another ASF speaker) has experiences and opinions on that topic, I feel that it would give great guidance to our audience and enrich the conversation. Let me know if I'm going down the wrong path, but I feel that someone representing the ASF would be the right expert to talk about one of these topics or both together. What do you think? 2. I will happily provide crepes as well. I don't see guidelines for crepes here (http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/events), but we can update the docs and provide the necessary crepes, both savory and sweet.
