@janl what do you think about resurrecting the Couch Unconference as a day long event at JSFest.

I am tentatively interested in running it; however I am not quite sure what "run it" entails. Mikeal said the festival took care of some things.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

i'll find the space and put up the tickets, someone just needs to facilitate on the day and reach out to the right people to get them there, i recruited Jason for that.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

This event is cancelled. Jason can't make it to run it and there wasn't really any interest. Only 5 people signed up and 4 of them were students who literally checked ALL the boxes.

Has this ever been posted to the CouchDB mailing lists or twitter?

Sorry I can't help with the event itself, but happy to push it in these venues.

I don't know, whenever I try to post to the CouchDB mailing list the spam filter blocks it, so I don't even try anymore. Regardless, without someone to run it can't really happen. We did the same promotion for CouchCamp as we did the other unconfs and they had more than double the registration rate.

This is a rather lame excuse :) — FWIW, I’m a moderator on all lists and never got a bounce from you.

As far as I understand, nobody in the CouchDB community knows about this event. It is entirely up to you to cancel it, no worries, but I feel, if there is time to turn it around, I’m happy to push it a little on the lists to see if someone picks it up.

Again, feel free to say “no”, I understand you have enough going on.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

@janl like i said, i gave up a long time ago :) but we didn't send anything to any mailing list about JSFest yet, we've just been promoting it on twitter.

The reality is that nobody qualified is willing to run it and there's much less interest in attending than the other events. I've been talking with Tracy from knode about doing a knode unconference in the space instead since she's willing to run it and there is a lot of momentum right now in that project.

so it’s dead. ok.

sad.
