Hi All Thanks Swapnil for the links about the ALC and I have re-read through the threads. I remembered sensing some push back on the proposed organisational hierarchy and see that has now been removed. Following on from that there was the comment of ALC being managed either within ComDev or VP Conferences.
I dont think this fits with Conferences as it is more like a local meetup type event, which means outreach, which to me means ComDev. So now we need to look at how to manage the integration of the ALC initiative. Based on Sally's feedback that means announcing and promoting the initiative to a wider audience. I can see some key actions already - announce the ALC as an initiative (Swapnil we can probably create this from your emails about it. Can you draft something? ) - promote the next event (include it on the Events calendar, tweet via @ApacheCommunity and include a reminder on ComDev) - plan for future events (ALC Indore seems to be having events every 1 - 2 months, so let's put them on the calendar and prepare for it.) - funding (I am not sure if ALC is getting any funding as part of ASF small events, or it is being covered from a third party.? BTW ComDev also has a budget that could be used to help with stickers, swag etc) - grow the ALC community (several people said they were interested in setting up other ALCs but so far none have. This could be because of the lack of announcement of the initiative - so lets focus on that first) I'm happy to get feedback and comments on this so please feel free to respond if you have any ideas or suggestions.
