Form, date, location, team #1
Description
I propose (please, comment on all the points):
Form
One-day, single track event finishing by the round table with the reps from all browser vendors.
The possible alternative (if we have too much really useful content to share) is two tracks event:
- Browsers track
- Tooling / use-cases track
Date
October 25
The possible alternatives: October 17, 18, 19, 24, 26
October is traditionally full-packed by the web dev events, so we'll never find 100% free date. Let's choose the best trade-off.
Reasoning
Autumn 2018 is the perfect moment for the gathering:
- foundations of PWA (Service Worker API) is in production in all major browser engines
- the level of interest from the developers' side is huge, but there is a serious lack of information about the roadmaps from browser/platform vendors
- we can't do it later because we'll lose the momentum
- we can't do it earlier because we need some time for the organizing
Location
London
Reasoning
Many folks from browsers devrel teams are located there. At least from Google, Mozilla, Samsung Internet. This will be easier to organize the logistics.
Organizing team
We need a team of core organizers and contributors. I propose to have the team as volunteers (and I nominate myself for being a part of the team) and hire some event agency to help us with the basic tasks. Of course, we'll need some sponsors and an organization (registered as not-for-profit) to operate on behalf of.
We could hold all the public discussions at this repo and all the private ones on PWA slack in the #pwaconf private group (it's there for a long time).
