Unclear what distinction you're making here. Apachecon is of course short
for "apache conference". The brand has a following.
The distinction is I am looking at something smaller like a BarCamp level event
not an AC level event.
I can definitely see the value in this, but it's somewhat saddening if
ApacheCon as a conference would no longer exist :-/. But, if it’s not a viable
Conference, we should stop wasting our time / money...
ApacheCon will still exist. That is certainly the plan. The board
approved a substantial amount of money for ApacheCon to continue to exist.
What's frustrating to me is all the people spreading the message that
ApacheCon is no longer going to exist. This is making my job a lot
harder, because everyone I approach already "knows" that ApacheCon is no
longer going to exist.
BarCamp and project Summits are great, we do 2 every year in my primary
projects. In an ideal world, I’d still like to see an ApacheCon with a 3 or 4
days program:
* 1-2 days of BarCamp / Project Summits, at the conference location, sponsored
for any projects who wants to organize one. I’m OK with requiring an ApacheCon
registration go participate here.
* 2 days of a topic based, 2-track Apache related conference. I would strongly
encourage that we broaden the horizon here, such that a talk would not
necessarily need to be specific to one (or a few). Almost everyone is using at
least one Apache Project for any solution they made, and I think it’d be
interesting to learn more about how ASF projects are used together with other
projects for example.
What you describe here is indeed exactly what the plan is. I need help
to make it happen.
