I believe we need a better definition of what we count as "official
Apache events". One I've heart before that made some sense would be
"organised through planners@ and featuring Apache exclusive content".
Please refine the definition to make it a better fit.
I consider an event official if one of the following:
* it is put on with the blessing, and participation, of a project PMC.
(Eg MesosCon)
* It is put on by the VP Events, or someone delegated by her/him. (Eg
Apache EU Roadshow)
Approving a third-party event that does not have the *participation* of
a PMC makes it approved, but not official.
Things like meetups which are put on by a local user community are
community events. I suppose a particular meetup might be part of
category 1 above, but with dozens of them a week (sometimes dozens a
day!) it's pretty hard to keep up with them. But if a particular PMC
wishes to promote one of them, and treat it like an official event, more
power to them. This is something that is wholely delegated to those
PMCs, as discussed and decided in the dim and distant past, and probably
not documented anywhere.
Which ... speaking of the various events websites, we also need a page
somewhere that documents these policies/definitions for posterity. That
has been on my ToDo list for a very, very long time. Indeed, in my
todo.txt, aspects of this task are currently items 4, 5, 9, 11, and 12.
Alas, smaller numbers indicate older items, not higher priority.
