One thing I forgot to mention: the organizers of APIStrat would like to
know if we participate or not at the beginning of next week. Please send
a short draft of a proposal to Vanessa (she is one of the organizers) if
you are interested.

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?
