Podling Shark Tank at ApacheCON NA CORE 2017

NOTE: for the podlings shark tank pitches you DO NOT have to submit via the regular CFP. Just record your willingness to present at the bottom of this page (if you need karma to do so ping us on general at incubator.apache.org)

The Podling Shark Tank event will take place as part of ApacheCON CORE NA 2017 in Miami: https://s.apache.org/acna2017_shark_tank and ALSO as part of ApacheCON Big data: http://sched.co/Adwa (YES! WE ARE THAT POPULAR!)

The idea here is to have folks present a very short pitch for the (no more than 10 min) podlings they are passionate about. You don't have to be a developer, a PPMC or a mentor. You just have to be passionate about the podling. One rule only: you WILL be mercilessly booted of the stage at the end of your 10 minutes though.

For viewers of US TV think of it as pitching your idea to the "Shark Tank" panel. Only instead of Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran we've got even sharkier characters:

  • Sally Khudairi, VP Marketing & Publicity at The Apache Software Foundation AKA THE ONE WHO WILL TELL THE WORLD ABOUT YOU!
  • Jim Jagielski, the man who needs no introduction AKA THE ONLY MENTOR YOU WILL EVER NEED!
  • Justin Mclean, an eagle eyed mentor extraordinaire and IPMC member AKA THE IPMC DRILL INSTRUCTOR!

All in all, this is meant to be fun, but informative way of making sure that as many ApacheCON attendees as possible are going to get a chance to find out more about your favorite podlings. Also, if think your community is close to graduation as a TLP consider this opportunity to pitch your graduation. I'm sure all of 3 judges will have plenty to say about that.

Finally, I'm currently working with sponsors to see if we can have prizes awarded for the best pitch. Unlike Shark Tank, we can not guarantee investment (but given the amount of VC $$$
floating around we can't preclude it either (wink)).

Please put your name in the following list and move a podling(s) of your choice from Unassigned category to your name.

If we ever get to a situation where we can NOT accommodate all the pitches we will first give priority to the podlings that are not represented elsewhere in the conference agenda. If we still can't accommodate all the earlier entries will be given a priority. Which means – please put your name on the list ASAP!
