Overview

Quarkus Insights is a youtube live channel that currently are hosted by Emmanuel, Max, Georgios and Jason

We use github issues with label "insights" to suggest and find ideas on future topics.

There is also Q-Tips which are smaller focused videos on specific topic - you can see how to contribute here.

Go to insights ideas issue list and vote-up or suggest new ideas.

We use this project board for the immediate planning.

Materials and requirements

• Browser (we use restream.io to stream and host guests, we will send you a link to connect to)
• Use light theme (not dark mode) as watching video on the go makes dark mode unreadable.
• Use wired Ethernet or very stable Wifi
• use headphones
• ideally, use a good microphone and make sure to select it as audio input

Participation

This section describes how participation in a Quarkus Insights episode works:

The format of the Quarkus video cast with a interviewee is as follows:

For Quarkus technology focused interview:

• deep dive (we want tech content and/or understanding of why)
• can mean long (1h) but might be shorter
• Emmanuel, Max, Jason and/or Georgios interviews you on a given subject

For Quarkus contributor/user focused interview:

• understanding of why and how - deep dive where it makes sense
• can mean long (1h) but might be shorter
• Emmanuel and Max interviews you on your involvement and usage of Quarkus

The objective for the listener is:

• understand the technology or the usage
• see hands-on usage (live coding sessions)
• be ready to go use it in its app
• (optionally) get live questions answered

The objective for us:

• keep Quarkus users engaged
• disseminate technology not yet known to our listeners

Come prepared:

• we will discuss the skeleton of the interview
• if with a demo, come with that demo ready as we will pop in and out of code to show people how to use things

Structure of the interview:

• Who are you
• Technology X in 2 mins
• Some context into why it is useful for people
• Concretely how to use it
• Musing and conversations on various features during conversation/discussion
• under the cover: how are things done to make this happen
• More info

Otherwise

• Be confident in your technology to do a live demo
  • work it a bit so you are cutting to the essential bits
• Trust us it will be awesome
