A friend of mine is co-organizing a conference about APIs. She
asked me
if there is someone from Wikimedia or the community who would be
interested in participating. It will take place in Parc 55 Hotel
in San
Francisco on October 23, 24, 25. A bit of information about the
conference:
APIStrat is a vendor neutral conference, and we
are committed to
promote API usage/knowledge, and specifically with the event, to
build
a great program with interesting content and
actually create
something
that is useful for the community. People behind
it are Kin Lane
(@apievangelist) and 3Scale. Here you can see speakers from the
previous event:
http://apistrategyconference.com/2013NYC/speakers.php,
where they brought together over 350 people.
Videos of the previous
event can be found here:
http://www.infoq.com/api-strategy-practice/
This time we are expecting between 500-600 attendees, and it will be
both service providers and API consumers (developers). The previous
edition was mostly addressed to providers, but we will have an
exclusive track addressed to developers in this edition.
They'd like us to:
- talk about how much traffic we deal with, how do we do it, who uses
our API (or something similar that we think would be of general
interest),
- participate in the "APIs in Government - Towards a Data Commons"
panel
giving the perspective of a non-profit (they aim to have federal,
state,
education, international, and non-profit representation in this
panel).
Seems interesting. Is there anyone who'd be interested in giving a
talk
or participating in a panel there?
