[openstack-community] Speakers Bureau
Hi all, There were a few discussions at the summit about making a Speaker's Bureau: User Group & OpenStack Day Events Branding (34:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XKjq-_d5uPw#t=2040 Ambassador Community Report discussion (31:58) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=gUUAhLjMAoQ#t=1918 As noted by Gary from LA, one of the biggest challenges in being a meetup organiser is finding speakers. Our challenge is to create a software tool and some community process to make a 'bureau' or directory of speakers that user groups can count on. ==> A first step noted in the meeting was to define requirements. So, as user group leaders, what do you need from a speakers directory? As speakers, how do you want your information to be used? ==> Are you interested in joining the effort to make the speakers bureau reality? Regards, Tom

==> A first step noted in the meeting was to define requirements. So, as user group leaders, what do you need from a speakers directory? As speakers, how do you want your information to be used? As a speaker, I would be okay with my email address being listed somewhere... User groups can use my information to contact me to determine availability for participation in either local or regional events.
In general, I'd be okay with groups contacting me (even outside my city/region) if they think my areas of expertise/interest align with interest in their user groups. I think having a way to input this information (interests/expertise) into the tool might be useful for matching speakers too.

I'd be interested in helping with the effort.
Regards,
Tom

In addition to contact information and (general location) area(s) of expertise are important for when I'm looking for a speaker about, say, Neutron or some other specific topic. It would also be good to know whether a speaker might bring some kind of sponsorship along with them (travel, food/drink) or whether they'll need to have the meetup group foot their travel bill.

The CloudFoundry community have a speaker travel support program, so if we can add some review or evaluation for the speakers we should introduce something similar for OpenStack Community. I think it is also very important to add an availability information for the speakers. For example I know that I'm travelling to overseas for a week, or I'm available during a specific timeframe and I'm available to visit local meetups. It would also be great to allow of presentation upload, so I can review the content well-advance. Brgds, Marton On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 4:45 PM Rich Bowen <rbowen@redhat.com> wrote:

Yes. We should create a spec for this "Speakers Bureau". Christian. -- Christian Berendt Cloud Solution Architect Mail: berendt@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537
How about the background of speaker? Like which company he or she is in now and was in previously. Yoyo Chiang Openstack Day Taiwan 2016 Event Committee Chair 2015年11月17日 下午7:37於 "Christian Berendt" <christian@berendt.io>寫道：
