Hello everyone 👋
This issue is opened to begin a structured discussion on how JSON Schema should strategically show up in 2026, particularly at API-focused events such as APIdays Paris. The goal is to align early on visibility, impact, and budget considerations.
Option 1: Dedicated JSON Schema Track
Hosting a dedicated track would significantly increase visibility and allow us to introduce JSON Schema to a broader audience through curated talks, ecosystem showcases, and implementer stories.
Key considerations:
-
AV team coverage for sessions (~€2,600–€3,000)
-
Merchandise
-
Travel and representative expenses
-
Professional photography
-
Video editing and post-production
This option also creates stronger sponsorship opportunities, as we would have clearer space to showcase partners and ecosystem supporters.
Option 2: Shared Open Standards Booth
Alternatively, we could participate through a shared Open Standards booth presence.
Key considerations:
-
Representative expenses
-
Merchandise
This approach is more cost-effective while still maintaining visibility, though with reduced programming control and sponsor activation opportunities.
Next Steps
-
Discuss preferred direction (Dedicated Track vs. Booth)
-
Estimate total projected budget
-
Evaluate sponsorship strategy and funding pathways
-
Identify volunteers/representatives
