But we're already open source! Why would I want to bring my code to Apache?gagravarr
From ApacheCon Europe 2015 in Budapest
So, your business has already opened sourced some of its code? Great! Or you're thinking about it? That's fine! But now, someone's asking you about giving it to these Apache people? What's up with that, and why isn't just being open source enough?
In this talk, we'll look at several real world examples of where companies have chosen to contribute their existing open source code to the Apache Software Foundation. We'll see the advantages they got from it, the problems they faced along the way, why they did it, and how it helped their business. We'll also look briefly at where it may not be the right fit.
Wondering about how to take your business's open source involvement to the next level, and if contributing to projects at the Apache Software Foundation will deliver RoI, then this is the talk for you!

Do we need new titles for different kinds of Big Data? Does the buzz and VC funding cause confusion? Is the humble requirement dead? Or can we help new users better find the right Apache project for them?

Mind mapping is a visual thinking technique that involves radiating ideas around a central concept or theme. It is based on how the brain naturally forms associations and connections. A mind map uses images, words, and branches of ideas connected to a central node. Mind maps allow for nonlinear, radial thinking compared to traditional linear outlines. They make connections between topics easier. There are no set rules for mind mapping, but suggestions include starting with a central theme and radiating finer categories without editing, using text, images, color, and doodling ideas freely. Examples show mind maps used for planning projects, taking notes on Shakespeare, decluttering thoughts, and homework assignments.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW CONTINENTAL CUP PHOTOS
Owned by the non-profit Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, the vision for the Continental
Cup was to create a large, vibrant, annual civic event that celebrates internationalism, youth
diversity and sportsmanship. Players from across the country and around the world are given
the opportunity to compete against one another in an exciting, cross-cultural environment. In
addition, athletes will be given the chance to display their skills in front of a variety of college
coaches and professional scouts.
In 2008, the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission officially partnered with AC Milan, naming
them the title sponsor for the soccer tournament. The Continental Cup is one of two
tournaments in the world endorsed by AC Milan, the world’s most successful soccer
institution and most decorated club. The addition of baseball to the Continental Cup was
announced in 2009 and a new partnership was formed with Major League Baseball’s
Cleveland Indians, naming Cleveland Indians Charities the title sponsor of the baseball
tournament.
The addition of the Cleveland Indians Charities Continental Cup was the first step in
developing this event into a true international youth sports festival. In 2010, the National
Basketball Association’s Cleveland Cavaliers signed on as the title sponsor of the basketball
tournament added. Also in 2010, the Continental Cup partnered with Cleveland Clinic Sports
Health naming them the title partner. 2011 will see the addition of Continental Cup Lacrosse
as the fourth sport in the festival.
The Continental Cup has come a long way since the first tournament in 2006, and the rapid
growth of the event has been astounding. The tournament experienced a 500% growth rate
from 2006 to 2010 and continues to skyrocket. In 2010, nearly 200 teams bringing over
3,000 athletes registered to compete in the four-day festival. Our number of international
teams has grown along with the number of partners and agents we work with around the
world. The Continental Cup is associated with many international agents and various
recruiting partners including AC Milan, adidas, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers, Hard
Rock International, Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), and the United States
Embassies.
The Continental Cup is on pace to be the fastest growing international youth sports event in
the world! Countries participating in the festival over the years include: Antigua & Barbuda,
Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Cyprus, Dominican
Republic, Great Britain, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Lithuania, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto
Rico, Singapore and St. Lucia.
