If you are considering sponsoring a remote event, reach out! We are still defining how we want to handle that. 43 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # PROVIDED AS IS ️🧩 2 | 3 | **NEXT EVENT TBC** 👉🎟 Coming Soon™ 4 | 5 | - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ProvidedAsIs) 6 | - [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/o/provided-as-is-london-26805041977) 7 | 8 | ## What is it? 🤔 9 | 10 | **PROVIDED AS IS** is a **safe space** for Open Source maintainers to come together, meet, learn and discuss. The meetup runs quarterly in London, UK - but given the current COVID-19 situation, we are exploring the remote event option. 11 | 12 | Working with Open Source requires a set of skills beyond "just coding" that people often find challenging. No matter how small or large the community around your open source project, the role of a maintainer can feel **isolated**, as maintainers rarely get to meet in person. 13 | 14 | This gathering gives an opportunity to people to connect with each other, and **share** struggles, experiences and strategies. This event is intended for people who help maintain open source projects, whether it's via code, documentation, design, issue triage, community management, or any other form of support. 15 | 16 | ## Cool! What's the format? ✍️ 17 | 18 | Our format was inspired by, and based upon, [Maintainerati](https://maintainerati.org) events. To facilitate sharing of ideas without additional burden of having to prepare content, we will only have one lighting talk per event, and dedicate most of the time to group discussions 👐 19 | 20 | Participants can propose topics of conversation using the dedicated issue per event. At the event, we will follow the [Open Space Technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology) approach, paired with the [Chatham House Rule](https://www.chathamhouse.org/chatham-house-rule). 21 | 22 | This is **not** meant to be large scale event. We aim to have no more than 40-50 people showing up per event. There will be food & drinks for IRL events. 23 | 24 | ## How do I participate? 🙌 25 | 26 | Simple - register for the event via the dedicated Eventbrite page! It is **necessary** in order to provide tickets to all the participants. 27 | 28 | We will ensure a dedicated number of tickets for underrepresented groups in the dev community - you will be able to apply for them via the Eventbrite page. 29 | 30 | ## How can I help? 🤗 31 | 32 | Great question! We have created a dedicated section if you are interested in [sponsoring](/SPONSORING.md). 33 | 34 | ## Who is behind this? 🧐 35 | 36 | A few Open Source maintainers, just like you! We come from different companies such as [Red Hat](https://www.redhat.com/en), [Formidable](https://formidable.com/) and more. 37 | 38 | ## Are you going to do this event in [my city]? 39 | 40 | No, not for the foreseeable future - we are aiming to create a local community. But if you like this format idea, feel free to fork this repo and organise your own local "Provided As Is" meetup 🤗 41 | 42 | That said, in the virtual world we currently all live in, we want to open our events to everyone from everywhere! But we'll keep doing them in a London-friendly timezone. So there could still be a need for more localized versions of the event format 🤗 43 | 44 | And let us know, we'd love to hear what your experience is! 45 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /COC.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Code of Conduct 2 | 3 | ## The Quick Version 4 | 5 | Provided As Is is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and accessible environment for all participants.

At conferences and other large events, organizers and volunteers will be wearing specific badges, shirts, or other identifiable items to help you find them. 28 | 29 | If you can’t find an organizer or volunteer, [Provided As Is on Twitter](http://twitter.com/ProvidedAsIs) has DMs open and is monitored constantly. There is also an [email address](providedasis@gmail.com) you can reach out to. 30 | 31 | ### Enforcement 32 | 33 | If a participant is asked to stop harassing or inappropriate behavior, they are expected to do so immediately. If a participant engages in harassing or inappropriate behavior, Provided As Is organizers reserve the right to take any action to resolve the situation immediately; this may include warning the participant, immediate expulsion from events with no refund, and/or banning from any future Provided As Is meetups, conferences, or affiliated events. 34 | 35 | Our foremost concern is the safety and comfort of all of our participants. We will evaluate any possible sanctions with regard to whether or not they provide the safety needed. 36 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
