Hi Sharan,

Much appreciated your detailed explanation, 
which also helps others learn more about this proposal I think. :-)
Make sense to me now. Thanks.


Cheers,
Trista

Hi Sharan,


It looks a good news. :-)
Besides, two questions confused me,
1. If one wants to post a topic talking in other languages,  any categories on 
CFP is ok? Or some specific ones?

You can submit your talk to any category so please choose the one that best 
fits the talk.
All the track chairs (i.e.the people selecting and preparing the tracks) can 
see everything that has been submitted. This means that if we see anything that 
is better in another category - we can contact each other to discuss it and get 
things moved.

As Sheng Wu mentions the proposal for a track in Mandarin is receiving a lot of 
support. So if someone submits a community talk in Mandarin then it might be 
good to see if it fits in the existing track. If we get 5 or more submissions 
for community related talks in Mandarin then it might be simpler to run a 
second Mandarin track focussed on community topics so this could run in 
parallel to the first one.


2. If there is no sufficient talkings in one language for that timezone,what 
will happen?


If we get no talks submitted or selected for a specific language then we cannot 
run anything for that timezone. If we get at least one submission that is 
selected, then we can run it no problem. What we might try to do is combine the 
talks in specific languages together so they can come from any category.


Looking forward to your help, and if I missed something, please tell me.


Hope this answers your questions. If you need any more clarification then 
please let me know ;-)

Thanks
Sharan


Best wishes,

Hi All

We are looking for talks in other languages than English for ApacheCon @Home. 
As the conference will be online it means that we can run tracks for specific 
time zones. Initial thoughts are something that could be US friendly, EU 
friendly and China friendly.

This means that as well as English we could run specific community content in 
other languages for the timezone (eg Spanish, French for US and EU time zone). 
Apache communities are diverse and global so if you are interested in (or more 
comfortable) submitting a talk in languages other than English then please do.

There is currently a proposal to run a Mandarin track initially focussed on 
various Apache projects but I think it might be good to get some community 
related talks too. So if you would like to do an Apache Way or community 
related talk in Mandarin then please submit it to CFP.

Also if any of our ALCs are interested in putting together a track in their 
audience language then please let me know as this could be another potential 
way us to have additional content.

Through ApacheCon @Home we have a great opportunity to reach out to a wider 
audience so let's make use of all the ways we can.

Thanks
Sharan
