Quarkus World Tour 2023 - Call for Roadies

[insectengine]

The 2023 Quarkus World Tour is kicking off once again to provide a unique, hands-on Quarkus experience for Java developers across the globe. The goal of the tour is to introduce Quarkus to Java developers as well as take a deep dive into the technology.

Since the tour began, we have performed for crowds of developers from 25+ JUGs across the world with many more tour stops being added every day.

Bands Make It “Rock”, Roadies Make It “Roll”
A global world tour takes an entire community to ensure its success. We have a great group of roadies that have made the world tour a success so far but we need your help.

Ways You Can Help
Much like a concert, we want each tour stop to be a unique experience for the audience. Each performer is encouraged to demo or talk about what they are passionate about with Quarkus. You DO NOT have to be an expert or know everything there is about Quarkus.

The event organizer will work with you ahead of time to set the agenda and organize the demo setlist so you have time to prepare (see sample setlist below). We have a repository of content that you can choose from or customize so you don’t have to build something from scratch. Sign up for one location or as many as you feel comfortable supporting.

Performers are needed for the following roles:

• MC (kick things off, transition between demos, monitor chat and questions, etc.)
• Presenter (demo Quarkus feature/capability of your choosing)
• Organizer (help arrange logistics, agenda, JUG communication, etc.)

Roadies - thank you so much to all of you who have volunteered for the 2022 Quarkus World Tour. We apologize for the delay getting things rolling but we are currently working to solidify 15-20 tour stop dates. Once we have the dates, we will reach out to everyone and have you sign up for the tour stops that you would like to participate in. We anticipate sending emails by the end of this week. Thanks for your patience.

I guess I'm late to the game here, but if you decide to add a stop in Sweden I can present. That also applies if this is repeated in Sweden next year.

I'm preparing a Quarkus intro for an internal presentation, if you decide to make a stop in Germany, I could present (https://github.com/coiouhkc/short-and-sweet-quarkus-intro, interim name "10 things I like about Quarkus").

[bentito]
