Title:

.NET Foundation Virtual Conference Day

Description:

A conference or event where the people that build the open-source software speak and promote the packages they work on, how to use it, and where they could use help from the community. A hack-a-thon could be scheduled where prizes are given for people that come up with interesting ways to integrate the open-source software promoted in the event in cool and interesting ways. So a day where it solves the following problems:

-Promote open-source foundation projects
-Promote and thank the people contributing to these projects
-Show interesting ways to use the open-source projects
-Highly people learn it via the hack-a-thon

Measure of impact:

unknown - depends on how well it is advertised in the community

Requested Budget:

I think this is a very low cost, mostly around getting people to volunteer running it and adding it

Size of Committee Requested:

3 to 5 people

Which Goal and Priority is this project aligned with:

This goes along with promoting the foundation and open source packages that are under the foundation.

How will we know this outreach is successful?

Can engage viewers along with community engagement of using or contributing to the open-source software packages supported.

A day is great but having ongoing stories as well, a regular “show” would be good. Have marketing. Microsoft promote it on an ongoing basis. As each project comes up that community would promote it as well. Maybe not even an “outreach” per say but an integrated effort of the foundation.

Dave,

I would love to help out with and donate some time to work with someone at Microsoft maybe in on Learn TV to build a more regular show on this. I've worked with Frank Boucher on Hello World show recently and it was a blast.

Aaron,

That would be good, but the .NET foundation isn't part of or responsible for Learn TV. That's a proposal you should put with someone at Microsoft.

I was hoping to get the input of @BethMassi and/or @jglozano on this proposal this month. Now that's January, any traction on how we'd do this?

My suspicion is that if we can't do it as a .NET Conf event, we could use StreamYard to make this happen.

Hi! @shawnwildermuth we said we were going to chat but we never put it on the schedule, which we can always do.

For streaming, even .NET Conf uses StreamYard it just gets sent to LearnTV along with other sources. So sticking with StreamYard for the event is a good thing.

  1. What are the immediate action items on this one?
  2. Beyond logistics - What are the criteria to select OSS projects and speakers?
  3. Should we limit OSS projects to .net and associated tech only?
  4. Should we make this recurring/E.g Quarterly - If we do, what should be the schedule?
  5. What is the criteria of selecting judging panel for the hack-a-thon? And should the hack-a-thon happens the same day as part of the event?
  • Do we have an official account of StreamYard?

Jaiver, Tom, Aneesh and I met 2.14.22 to get some of the planning started for this virtual event.

Name: TBD (but we want to be sure we include some of the keywords of .NET Foundation Open Source Projects)

Purpose: Showcase the projects and highlight members of the .NET Foundation

Call for Proposals will be open to members, projects and sponsors with priority access before opening it up to the full community. There will a question on the form asking how long the session will need to be from the standpoint of the member/project. (No more than 1 hr in each time frame, shorter can be done to mix and match with sessions that are more Q&A)

Technology to be used: Streamyard for the live event. Videos will be uploaded to Youtube if they are recorded.

No cost to attend event the virtual event in 2022. Depending on the interest, we may more to a quarterly event.

Initially we are going to work backwards from the third week of July. (Reason: Many events are already in the books for early 2022 and fall of 2022.)

Items to do:
Github page with the save the date information
Link for call for proposals
Potential swag for the attendees and/or speakers/presenters

@jglozano @biozal @nicoleabuhakmeh @shawnwildermuth - Its been a while we met on this activity. Of all the items @nicoleabuhakmeh listed in "TO DO", we need to make progress as we are already in April. Shall we meet again and work on this? Or do we have any progress to be posted here?

Here is the list

The board met on 4/28/22 and we are good to go for the planning and event to be held on July 20th, if that works for everyone else.

@codehippie1, @jglozano offered to help with the website for the event. If you can find some time to work with him on setting it up to get the Call for Proposals out we can get the link out.

Some other things to think about:
Event Structure
Keynote?
Sponsor slots within the day?

Coordination of Virtual/Online set up:
Streamyard
Youtube
Moderating comments?
Technical support

Once that is set up, let me know and we can pull together again to plan the day.

Hey! Great initiative. 👏👏

I would like to sign up .NET nanoFramework whose goal is to make it easy to write C# for resource constrained micro controllers.

@josesimoes I don't think this is the right forum for that. This discussion is about a .NET Foundation Virtual Conference we're putting on. Sorry.

@josesimoes - Great! I'll include your Foundation Project on the list for when we're putting the day together!

@shawnwildermuth OK... I was mislead by the information the Foundation newsletter I received today. Or I misunderstood it... 😯

Just a clarification, I asked in the Newsletter for the DNF Projects to comment here if they want to be involved as we don't think we will need to do a proposal form as we will not be promoting to the public to present. We want to give the opportunities directly to anyone that would like to present that day about their Foundation project, or even as a member that uses a Foundation Project.

We're going to use this day to shine a light on our projects and the members that support and use them.

I'm interested in talking about the Community Toolkit and more specifically our new work on Toolkit Labs for Windows. We should have launched that new initiative by then... 😋 And it'll be our path forward for folks wanting to contribute to the Windows Community Toolkit in a collaborative and iterative environment.

I am not sure where to sign up - here or on the Discord link mentioned above?
I'd be happy to share something about DotVVM - we've been working on a lot of cool stuff recently.
I am also able to help with organizing or running the event if necessary.

@tomasherceg Here is perfect, We are trying to gauge the interest level! When we schedule our first meeting, you'll be on the invite! Thank you!

@michael-hawker - I've got you on the list too!

Hello @shawnwildermuth,
As Volosoft, we are member of .NET foundation. We are developing Open-Source ABP Framework, which is a complete infrastructure to create modern web applications by following the best practices and conventions of software development.

We would like to join this organization. We can even try to help this organization if any help needed. Please guide me how to move forward as next steps.

@nicoleabuhakmeh I have an idea for a presentation about the WiX Toolset (a .NET Foundation member project) that could be interesting for this Open Source Day. Would you keep me in mind as well? Thanks.

@nicoleabuhakmeh I received it, thanks!
@Ellerbach will be representing .NET nanoFramework, he is the one who will take this matter for us.

@nicoleabuhakmeh sorry just saw this and found the message on my other e-mail account. Looking at it now!

@michael-hawker would you be opposed to switching to the 2:30pm Eastern time slot?
We would like to move WiX to the last spot of the day.

@michael-hawker

@nicoleabuhakmeh no problem for me, it's still mid-day here either way. :)

Just wrapping up my abstract to send over to you in e-mail.
