I like that idea
even the awards topic, from marketing perspective, can be really nicely used, but also from the other side - it is really nice idea for the community:
- you can bring community closer by bringing in different community members to act as "judges"
- we can involve sponsors, even have separate funding like for conference, with some additional benefits for sponsors (like sponsor of award can delegate judge)
and it makes soooo much sense because AsyncAPI is a de facto standard for EDA. Our community have people from all the different areas of protocols, brokers - and we are independent - perfect for running awards
damn, really cool

are hackathons, especially in remote world, still a thing?
instead we can basically have workshop that is a requirement for any mentorship participant - they need to go through it to be considered for mentee position. We could also have it as requirement for other roles, like Student Ambassador and things like that 🤔
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Well, there are still hackathons in the remote world, but we can just adopt the mentorship program alone.
I'd like more context on the workshop as a requirement.

comparing with the amount of conferences, just take into account how many events we have and don't start big but experiment

we did hackathon like 2-3y ago, but it was not line typical onsite hackathon, 1 day of coding or something, but people had like 1 month or so to work on something. It is great to get some innovation in place. We had it combined with online conference, and best project I think was presented during the event

yeah, we had pretty good prices. So yeah, as long as it is long-time event then it could make sense.

Promoting the current docs we have will boost the adoption. But as for coding challenges and hackathons, I'm very skeptical about them.
We run mentor/maintainership programs already, so my question will be, the coding challenges, who will it be poised for?

I apologize as I'm a little late for adding this 🙇
Yet, thanks to this solid presentation of Goals and Tactics, one thing sort of stands-out to me.
One of the goals should be to Develop the Vendor Ecosystem. TBD exactly with what tactics (happy to brainstorm about it). But clearly, if there's only a few vendors that support the Spec, it cannot help businesses adopt it. More vendors mean more use cases covered throughout the whole API lifecycle.
That's probably where sponsorships resonate even more. Vendors who support the spec will have a lot of benefit in being sponsors, too. And it might need a kickstart, with more opportunities to give them exposure.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I love that name: Develop the Vendor Ecosystem especially that this was always one of my hopes for scaling sponsorship and the existing of our working group. Keeping vendors close, with their ideas how we can give them more space and keep them as sponsors. I'm drafting some proposal on how we could enrich the offer, focused on sponsor exposure as to be honest in majority of discussions I have - this is the sponsor goal.
You can have a look at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/160W-PLYx6wQ8SZGN4oVoAvCtqDcg_2zVByM_0kGip6A/edit?gid=0#gid=0 that I wanted to share in the group. As you can see at the other tabs, that work came to my mind when working on budget planning 😄
Happy to have you here @ChristopheDujarric and looking further for details and ideas. We need vendors representatives to set that strategy right

is it possible to somehow organize the goals in the list in the way that it is clear to which values from the previous section they correspond? sometimes they overlap but I think sometimes it is clear they are "community scaling related" only.
there are some overlaps with @thulieblack work as community manager - I wonder if we have to cover the difference somehow in that table? or scopes?
