Ok I think we have had a general approval here, I'll put up a PR for our doc page for folks to do a final pass on On Tue, Jun 24, 2025 at 8:33 AM Danica Fine wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm picking this thread back up... > > If we're in agreement that we'd like to enable more meetups, I'd be more > tha

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Hi all, I'm picking this thread back up... If we're in agreement that we'd like to enable more meetups, I'd be more than happy to start documenting the meetup guidelines (and a reminder of the trademark guidelines that Max mentioned) to put on the community section of the website. And on that no

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

That was my point in my previous email on this thread, and that’s why I shared the trademark policy. The updated proposal (including Max and Danica updates) looks good to me. Regards JB Le jeu. 29 mai 2025 à 14:48, Rich Bowen a écrit : > > > On 2025/05/23 19:24:28 Russell Spitzer wrote: > > He

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Thank you for starting this conversation, Russell! And thank you to everyone else chiming in on this topic. Enabling more meetups globally is something I'd love to help steward. It's great to see the amount of interest here on the devlist and also in the various #meetup-(location) channels on Slack

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

I agree with Russell here. The goal is to clarify how to run a meetup that meets our requirements, rather than approving them individually. I like Max's addition to make anyone starting one aware of the brand guidelines. I also like Danica's suggestions so that we state that we expect meetups to g

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

We definitely should not abdicate our responsibilities to the trade mark, I just want to shift away from a pre-clearance model which we have done so far. I know I always try to help folks out if I see something which I think may be inappropriate On Thu, May 29, 2025 at 7:50 AM Rich Bowen wrote:

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Since we're also having various discussions in Slack, folks should join the Iceberg Slack to have informal discussions around all these meetup efforts. We would still want to send this out to the dev list as Danica noted - just wanted to call out that we're already having these informal discussion

Thanks Max and Danica, I have no problems adjusting the verbage or adding some best practices. On Wed, May 28, 2025 at 2:52 PM Danica Fine wrote: > Hi all, > > Love that we're opening discussion around making meetups more accessible! > > I do think it would be in everyone's best interest to outl

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Hi all, Love that we're opening discussion around making meetups more accessible! I do think it would be in everyone's best interest to outline some guidelines around what *we* believe is a good meetup and post them on the community section of the site

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Hi, Thanks for the proposal Russell! JB also raised some fair points regarding use of trademarks. We can adjust the proposal slightly to include the use of trademarks: """ The Apache Iceberg community supports Apache Iceberg meetups. The name "Apache Iceberg Meetup " may be used in compliance wi

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Hi Ryan I just wanted to remind what should be done for meetups (a kind of context), especially: "The VP, Brand Management, or the VP of the relevant Apache project, must approve the use of Apache marks in any events run by third parties. This includes conferences, meetups, get-togethers, and any

Re: [DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

JB, can you give us a bit more context about why you're recommending those pages? Do they have policies that already do what is being suggested? Do they impose limits that mean we could not do this? Without that information, I'm not sure what I'm looking for in those docs. On Sat, May 24, 2025 at

[DISCUSS] Enabling more Meetups

Hey Y'all I know there has been a lot of confusion over who is allowed to host a meetup and what it can be called. Technically, I believe the PMC is supposed to be involved in anything involving the Apache Iceberg trademark but I'd like to pre-approve a bunch of meetups if we have consensus. Basi
