Description
AsyncAPI Conference 2022 - Day 2
4th November 2022
This session will provide you with an overview of things we managed to achieve as community in the last years. Community growth, goals and its current state. We will also explore what should be the direction for the community in the future and how to make it happen together. Join this session if you want to learn how AsyncAPI changed over the years.
A
A
Soon,
in
actually
few
days,
it's
going
to
be
sixth
anniversary
of
async
API,
so
I
think
it's
pretty
important
after
the
six
years
to
to
take
a
look
into
the
bus
and
see
where
we
are
at
now
and
what
future
brings
so
but
yeah.
The
most
important
is
to
always
start
presentation
with
some
kick-ass
numbers.
A
So
I
choose
some
numbers
to
show
you
the
state
of
async
API
community,
so
the
first
one
will
be
the
number
of
downloads
of
one
of
our
like
core,
like
the
chorus
of
the
core
packages
addressing
API
initiative,
which
is
the
package
that
consists
of
Json
schemas
for
using
API
specification.
So
it
got
downloaded
4.6
million
times,
and
it
is
a
number
that
we
track
in
case
of
this
package
since
March
2020.
So
two
and
a
half
year,
4.6
million
downloads
and
of
course
some
can
argue.
Well,
it's
a
fake
number.
A
It's
a
fake
number,
it's
probably
Bots
or
so
whatever
I
cannot
disagree
more,
but
that's
something
not
for
this
presentation.
You
can
ask
me
questions
later
offline,
wherever
you
want
another
number,
1.6
million
views
on
async
API
website
tracked,
not
since
the
beginning
of
the
project.
So
six
years
ago,
what
actually
five
years
ago,
November
2017
1.6
million
views
and
the
last
number
I
want
to
show
you
website
users,
so
not
really
page
views
because,
like
one
user
can
generate
few
page
views.
So
do
you
see
this
diagram?
A
A
You
know
curve
like
with
a
plane
right
makes
us
I
hope
you
can
see.
It
looks
beautiful
to
me,
but
the
thing
is
website.
Users
are
the
same
as
community,
so
before
I
continue,
I
was
I
was
thinking
that
the
best
always
is
to
agree
with
with
a
person
you
communicate
with
to
agree
on
a
common
terms
like
a
kind
of
glossary.
So
let's
maybe
we
don't
have
a
chance
to
agree
together
on
one
definition,
so
I'm
gonna
just
share
my
definition.
A
For
the
sake
of
this
presentation,
what
do
I
think
the
community
is
and
I'm
gonna
break.
One
of
the
most
important
rules
do
not
read
out
slides
to
the
pre
to
the
all
to
your
audience,
but
in
this
case
I
just
want
to
quote
the
the
quote
from
a
book:
The
Art
of
community
by
jono
bacon,
a
community
is
a
collection
of
people
who
interact
with
one
another
in
the
same
environment.
It
is
not
merely
the
group
that
generates
Community,
but
the
interactions
within
it
and
the
world
interaction
is
the
key
here.
A
So
one
thing
is
this
website
user's
numbers,
but
I
was
thinking
about
some
different
numbers.
So
one
is
the
slack
slack
numbers
like
the
amount
of
users
coming
to
slack,
because
for
me,
slack
is
the
place
where
actually
interaction
happens.
Discussion
happened,
ask
for
help,
happens
and
other
things
really
nice
things
in
a
group
of
people
who
interact
with
each
other
and
the
other
place,
which
is
one
like
the
second
one
where
we
interact
with
the
community.
A
A
You
see
some
similarities,
I
mean
it
coincidence,
I,
don't
think
so
so
website
users.
Of
course
the
number
is
much
higher,
but
with
slack
and
GitHub
contributors
and
in
case
of
your
thinking
like
contributors.
In
what
way
so,
I'm
just
gonna
tell
you
that
the
GitHub
contributors
shows
unique
users
that
interact
with
us
on
pull
requests
or
issues
by
reporting
issues
or
commenting
on
an
issue
or
actually
helping
with
review
on
the
pr
or
creating
APR
Etc.
A
So
you
can
see
a
similarity
that
High
number
of
website
users
always
reflects
a
bit
the
the
users
that
then
later
on
interact
with
us
now.
What
I
want
to
make
sure
is
that
you
don't
think
that
okay,
so
if
we
invest
enough
in
website
viewers,
then
we
will
automatically
get
community
interactions,
no
I,
don't
think
so.
I,
don't
believe
so,
but
yeah
I
think
you're
gonna
understand
this
data
more.
A
When
we
will
talk
about
the
history
fun
fact,
I
was
actually
off
topic
of
History,
because
I
was
supposed
to
be
an
archaeologist.
Like
my
whole,
youth
I
was
always
dreaming
about
being
archaeologist,
but
I
was
just
too
lazy
to
learn
enough
to
go
to
the
proper
University
and
then
I've
heard
that
if
I'm
lazy
I
should
go
to
Tech
and
that's
how
I
ended
up
here
but
yeah
anyway,
history,
so
the
most
important
event.
A
Six
years
ago,
November
2016
yeah,
you
can
see
the
first
comment
of
async,
API,
spec
and
I
think
something
that
marks
the
future
of
the
project
and
the
focus
of
the
project
the
same
moment,
the
same
date
Fran
does
not
only
create
a
first
comment,
but
also
creates
a
initial
slack
workspace
where
we
interact
in
till
this
day,
2017.
A
So
many
months
later,
after
the
first
comment,
some
important
tool
got
published
that
enabled
people
to
actually
play
with
async
API
in
a
visual
way
by
writing
a
spec
and
seeing
the
docs
generated,
editor,
housing,
api.org
and
then
November
2017
also
something
important
like
website.
Traffic
monitoring
got
also
enabled
so
some
first
things
happen
in
the
project.
Asking
API
is
shaping
like
okay,
slack
Community,
but
also
tools.
It's
not
just
a
spec,
so
yeah
shape
happens
and
it's
early
stage.
So
going
back
to
the
numbers
I
was
showing
at
the
beginning.
A
You
can
see
it
also
in
the
numbers,
like
not
many
contributors
really
just
like
60
people
on
Slack
is
just
going
slow
as
every
single
project.
That
starts,
but
then
2018
marks
pretty
important
events.
First
time,
zombie
company
admits
that
they
use
async
API.
This
is
the
comet
from
a
from
GitHub,
where
someone
from
slack
published
their
API
for
their
event
architecture,
and
they
admitted
that
they
are
using
async,
API
1.2,
pretty
old
version.
You
should
not
use
it
now.
A
Also,
the
same
year
August
we
have
Falls
like
almost
the
same
month.
Actually
it
was
the
same
month
the
the
founder
of
ably
and
also
mihalf,
who
worked
at
sap
at
the
time.
At
the
same
time,
they
went
to
slack
and
said,
hey
folks,
like
it's
amazing
project.
We
want
to
help
and
we
want
to
donate
also
some
existing
project.
So
you
can
see
that
the
community
of
users,
also
big
Tech,
is,
is
growing
two
years
after
the
launch.
A
Actually,
one
and
a
half
year,
I
would
say
something
that
happens
in
January
2019.
It's
actually
a
screenshot
of
my
tweet
that
actually
happened
in
December,
but
yeah
in
corporations.
Things
move
slow,
but
that's
a
story
for
a
different
day.
Most
important
2018
is
the
year
where
we
also
had
a
first
pretty
big
project
donated
from
an
external
contributors
into
housing.
A
Api
initiative,
which
was
the
asking
API
react
component
and
you
can
see
the
same
numbers
again
comparing
website,
but
also
slack
and
GitHub
interactions,
a
huge
amount
of
growth
on
the
on
the
traffic
on
the
website
and
also
pretty
pretty
good
increase
of
the
interactions
with
the
community
and
seeing
these
numbers
from
decides
to
create
new
Relic
like
come
on.
Like
these
numbers.
A
It's
it
indicates,
the
project
is
pretty
important
to
be
honest,
I
don't
think
he
had
access
to
all
this
data
and
he
probably
made
a
decision
basing
on
the
data.
You
feel
you
don't
see
the
data
you
did
not
measure,
but
you
feel
that
your
mailbox
is
getting
full
of
notifications
you're
getting
a
lot
of
DMS
a
lot
of
discussions
and
you
have
less
time
to
do
your
work,
because
so
many
people
are
already
interested
with
the
project
and
you
have
to
keep
up
with
your
daily
job.
A
So
that's
why
Fran
probably
decided
like
yeah
it's
a
good
moment
to
quit
and
already
the
same
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
2019
he
starts
doing
a
public
meetings.
I
know
he
also
attends
many
conferences
to
talk
about
async,
API
and
pretty
important.
2019
is
that
in
March
we
have
first
big
Platinum
sponsor
which
is
Solas.
That
is
our
Platinum
sponsor
till
today.
A
So
2019
you
can
already
see.
If
person
starts
working
on
a
project
full-time
commits
more
to
the
project,
then
the
audience
is
growing
and
the
interactions
are
growing
again
and
they
are
starting
like
so
again
Boeing
747.
A
A
Okay,
bear
with
me
2020
I,
decided
to
quit
sap
and
work
on
nothing,
API
100,
and
that's
the
also
the
moment
where
we
like
in
my
person.
We
start
fully
focusing
on
on
the
on
the
community.
A
You
can
see
a
screenshot
of
my
first
good
morning
on
a
general
Channel
and
you
can
see
that
I
used
an
appropriate
Emoji.
So
I
was
pretty
unexperienced,
I
would
say
three
years
ago
and
did
not
well
I.
Wasn't
thinking
about
like
how
diversity
is
important.
I
was
not
really
in
like
understanding
fully
what
it
means
and
how
like
make
sure
that
we're
also
accepting
and
and
welcoming
for
people
with
disabilities
that
have
problems,
for
example,
website,
and
they
cannot
see
a
flashing
emojis.
A
But
here
we
go.
We
started
pushing
one
for
the
community
in
April
2020,
we
organized
our
first
big
online
conference.
It
was
the
beginning
of
pandemia
in
Europe,
are
pretty
strange
times
started,
and
we
also
in
October
2020
started
like
okay.
We
want
to
have
more
and
more
interactions,
more
and
more
contributors.
So,
let's
try
to
like
invite.
Also
people
from
that
are
new
to
open
source.
A
Let's
attend
our
first
event,
which
was
Oktoberfest
and
see
if
we
can
also
make
sure
that
async
API
welcomes
anyone,
not
just
people
from
some
corporations
and
important
December
2020
was
where
I
and
Fran
and
others
we
did
not
have
any.
We
did
not
have
to
worry
about
money
anymore,
like
we
before
we
got
paid
by
some
contracts
or
open
Collective
donations,
and
we
were
always
worried
like
how
much
like
how
long
we
can
live
like
this
like.
A
If
we
have
enough
money
really
and
how
long
we
can
actually
get
paid
for
our
work.
So
December
2020
is
when
we
had
a
partnership
with
Postman
Postman
hired
few
of
us,
assuring
that
we
will
still
work
100
of
our
time
on
asking
API,
which
I
think
we
proved
pretty
well
over
the
last
years,
and
it
also
marked
a
pretty
important
change
for
2021
in
a
sec.
I'm
gonna
talk
about
it,
but
for
now,
let's
talk
about
the
numbers.
A
The
history
marks
an
important
Mark
in
2021,
so
because
of
us,
a
few
of
us
joining
Postman.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
know
that
Postman
did
not
acquire
Us
in
API.
So
we
we
talked
with
Linux
Foundation
that
accepted
a
single
API
as
a
project
on
Linux
Foundation
to
prove
that
anyone
can
use
async
API
that
it's
really
community-owned
project,
where
IP
of
the
project
belongs
to
the
foundation,
not
any
any
company.
A
So
that's
important
because
that's
the
moment
where
we
started
thinking
about
open
governance,
something
that
I
don't
think
we
would
do
in
2021,
like
looking
at
the
back
on
on
different
priorities.
We
had
if
we
wouldn't
have
the
situation
that
Postman
came
in
with
the
partnership,
and
we
wouldn't
have
this
in
like
internal
pressure
that,
like
okay,
we
need
to
prove
the
community
that
we
have
an
open
governance
model.
I,
don't
think
we
would
do
it
in
March
2021,
but
we
did
it.
A
We
set
up
a
really
pretty
Democratic
approach
for
technical
steering,
Community
and
ended
up
2021
with
24
members
in
technical
stream,
Committee
of
course
doing
conference
and
other
stuff
that
we
started
last
year
as
well.
A
So
2021
ended
and
that's
that's
where
the
pilot
holds
and
pulls
as
slow
as
possible
like
we're
flying
super
top,
it's
not
a
rocket
because
we're
not
going
to
the
Moon,
although
I
have
a
feeling
in
that
size
using
gassing
API,
but
that's
again
different
topic.
A
Look
on
slack
and
GitHub
contributions,
contributors
contributions,
pretty
high
numbers
again
like
we're,
doubling
and
I
think
we're
doubling,
not
only
because
we're
getting
more
website
users,
even
though
the
the
lines
are
pretty
similar.
It's
also
because,
like
the
whole
community
of
people,
like
especially
the
ones
on
slack,
interact
with
each
other
a
lot
and
and
enable
others
to
to
contribute
and
like
actually
treat
Community
as
it's
the
most
important
in
the
project,
now
2022,
we
are
so
Advanced
that
we
already
started
our
own
mentorship.
A
So
we
take
part
in
different
mentorship
programs,
Google
summer
of
code,
Google
season
of
dogs
and
and
others.
We
enable
projects
to
accept,
also
people
that
are
still
in
their
universities
and
they're,
pretty
new
to
open
source.
But
we
are
like
hell
like
why
not
doing
our
own
mentorship
and
October.
So
like
now,
we
can
say
that
we
have
contributors
from
Big
corporations
like
IBM,
Salesforce
Google.
We
have
over
60
repositories
in
our
Slack.
A
In
our
GitHub
we
have
35
TSC
members
and
approximately
10
individual
contributors
I.
Think
we
like
there
are
a
few
TSC
members
that
openly
say
that
they
are
affiliated
with
some
company,
but
from
discussions
like
offline
discussions,
I
know
that
they
are
actually
contributing
in
their
spare
time
and
actually
contributing
because
they
like
the
project
and
not
because
their
companies
paying
them
to
do
it.
They
they
their
companies,
are
actually
not
paying
them
to
work
on
nothing
API,
so
I
think
that
10
is
even
is
a
low.
A
A
Last
month,
we
already
have
three
ambassadors
and
we
hope
to
expand
soon,
and
we
kicked
off
the
work
on
askingapi.com
Community
website,
where,
like
we,
have
one
single
place
where
the
community
can
go
and
find
every
single
information
like
how
to
interact
where
and
how
to
contribute
like
everything
like
like
a
Bible
for
for
the
community,
even
though
I
think
that
we're
doing
good
by
working
without
it
now
remember
the
numbers
how
high
they
go,
we
need
a
place
where
Community
can
go
and
find
any
information,
because
us
answering
on
slack
every
day,
sometimes
the
same
answer.
A
We
need
to
scale
it.
We
need
a
place
where
we
can
actually
find
everyone
and
appreciate
everyone
and
the
community.
Now
what
is
the
community
now?
So
we
know
when
it
started
how
it
went
and
I
think
we
had.
We
managed
to
to
create
a
pretty
diverse
community.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
individual
and
also
company
sponsored
members.
A
A
lot
of
contributors,
something
super
important
and
what
I'm
proud
of
is
that
like
10
percent
of
maintainers
at
asking
API
are
women
and
22
percent
of
speakers
at
this
conference?
Are
women
and
you
can
say
like
if
you
follow
the
numbers
like
the
last
number
I
I
checked,
was
in
one
of
the
Articles.
They
were
talking
about
that.
A
Actually,
among
Tech
in
in
Tech,
25
percent
of
tech
is
a
woman,
so
we
can
say
like
okay,
so
it's
25
percent
in
Tech
or
woman,
then
we
have
lower
numbers
and
we're
not
doing
well.
But
the
thing
is
that
open
source
is
different,
so
actually
one
article
when
I
that
I
found
says
that
only
six
percent
of
Open
Source
contributors
are
women,
and
now
these
numbers
that
I
shared
above
they
sound
different
I.
My
personally
super
proud
of
this
community
that
we
managed
to
reach.
A
These
numbers
would
like
to
thank
all
the
people
that
actually
contribute
to
it
and
something
important.
It
doesn't
mean.
We're
awesome
I
think
that
if
we
manage
to
reach
such
numbers
in
such
a
short
time,
I
think
we
can
do
better
and
not
show
only
that
individual
contributors
are
valued
the
same
as
company
sponsored
contributors,
but
we
can
also
show
that,
like
in
open
source,
you
can
actually
have
much
higher
representation
of
woman
in
Tech.
A
So
that's
that's
something
to
look
at,
but
even
more
effort
and
and
make
it
like
kick
ass
really
and
last
but
not
least
like
we
are
really
diverse.
Community,
like
we
have
faults
from
Nigeria
India
America's
like
almost
like
okay
I'm,
not
going
to
say
every
country
in
Europe,
but
like
a
lot
of
countries
and
in
Europe
have
people
as
maintainers
in
the
in
the
project.
A
Now
we
also
are
super
transparent,
like
something
that
is
in
the
in
the
heart
of
our
founding
Charter
in
Linux
Foundation
like
even
this
year.
Just
this
year,
we
had
like
over
70
different
meetings.
Public
meetings
live
stream
meetings
where
we
were
discussing
different
topics
around
the
asking
DPI
initiative.
We
make
no
decisions
on
the
meetings.
A
Sometimes
we
have
private
meetings,
especially
with
mentees
that
just
joined
the
project
and
they
don't
feel
comfortable
having
public
meetings
because
they
have
their
imposter
syndromes
and
other
things
that
block
them
from
public
presence,
and
we
don't
believe
that
you
should
just
pick
up
people
and
throw
them
into
the
river
to
teach
them
swimming
this
way.
A
This
is
slow
process,
but
the
important
stuff
is
that,
even
if
we
talk
about
something
private,
we
always
update
GitHub
issues
or
GitHub
requests,
and
even
if
someone
will
write
to
you
that
a
decision
was
made
on
the
meeting,
if
somebody
did
not
attend
the
meeting,
you
can
openly
say
you
don't
agree,
because
decisions
are
not
made
on
the
meetings
now
I
think
we
have
managed
to
have
pretty
welcoming
Community.
A
These
are
just
few
examples
of
of
people
sharing
and
and
proofs
that
we
can
see
that,
like
people
come
ask
like
hey,
I
need
Java
mentor.
Here
you
go
like
hey,
I
need
someone,
boarding
can
I
get
help.
Yeah
I
mean
just
share
what
you
know
what
you'd
like
to
learn
and
we
can
guide
you.
We
can
be
be
your
guide
in
this
dark
place
with
so
many
repositories
which
are
not
easy
to
digest
at
First
Sight.
A
So
that's
all
about
the
the
Pasty
and
the
presence
and
the
future
is
not
that
easy.
We
still
have
to
continue
and
do
the
hard
work,
not
only
with
women
in
representation
in
Tech,
but
we
have
to
continue
many
different
initiatives.
We
started
the
conference,
it
has
to
happen
every
year,
the
participation
in
different
initiatives
to
onboard
different
contributors.
It
has
to
happen.
We
have
to
run
it.
We
have
to
keep
it
going
because
we
see
that
we.
This
brings
a
lot
of
great
people
into
the
project.
A
So
the
future,
even
though
the
numbers
are
great
I'd
like
to
make
it
super
clear,
I,
don't
believe
that
it's
enough
to
have
marketing
put
on
the
website,
increase
the
amount
of
people
coming
to
the
website
and
automatically
it
will
convert
into
the
community
interactions.
If
you
don't
make
sure
that
the
community
is
capable
of
interactions
in
a
healthy
environment,
I,
don't
believe
you
can
actually
keep
up
going
well
with
the
project,
so
yeah
no
resting
get
on
tractor
and
do
the
work
now.
A
The
most
important
from
my
perspective
next
step
is
me
stepping
down
from
the
role
of
community
manager
and
having
someone
new
to
do
it,
stepping
down
not
leaving
the
project.
So
I
simply
believe
that,
like
in
like
in
February
next
year,
it's
my
third
year
as
a
community
manager
here
in
the
project
and
I-
think
it's
maximum.
It's.
It's
really
enough,
like
in
politics,
I
believe
that
also
in
with
such
important
roles,
people
should
not
spend
too
much
time
in
these
positions,
because
over
time
you
get
biased,
I
get
biased.
A
I
have
my
my
issues
with
some
platforms.
I,
hate,
Twitter
and
I
know
that
I
was
always
ignoring
it
as
a
as
a
tool
to
interact
with
the
community,
because
I
simply
don't
believe
it
can't
has
a
have
a
good,
enable
good
interactions
but
yeah
it's
different
topic.
A
What
I'm
saying
is
that
we
need
to
hire
someone
who
will
just
continue
what
we're
doing
and
also
do
different
things.
How
we
do
it
I
have
no
idea
I.
Maybe
we
will
hire
someone
through
open,
Collective
donations.
Maybe
we
should
hire
someone
from
Linux
Foundation
or
maybe
we
should
simply
do
what
we
did
now
like
I
was
at
the
beginning,
doing
it
independently,
then
I
I
got
affiliated
with
Postman
and
even
though
I
can
say,
I'm
not
really
being
like.
Postman
is
not
telling
me
what
to
do.
A
I
can
like
swear
that
it's
not
happening,
but
like
people.
That
don't
know
me
do
not
necessarily
have
to
trust
me
and
I.
I
think
that
we
really
have
to
make
sure
that
like
if
we
do
not
want
to
hire
someone
through
open
Collective
or
like
someone
from
the
index
Foundation,
we
should
have
a
clear
rule
that
Community
managers
should
be
rotating
rule,
maybe
IBM
Solas
and
other
Platinum
sponsors
or
other
companies.
They
can
delegate
someone
for
one
year
or
nothing
API,
for
example,
to
do
do
Community,
Management.
A
Let's
see
this
is
actually
a
kickoff
of
a
discussion.
I
want
to
start
on
on
our
GitHub
Community
discussions
and
we
need
to
identify
what
would
be
a
key
responsibilities
of
such
person
like
making
sure
that
conference
happens,
making
sure
that
we
take
part
in
some
initiatives.
Etc,
let's
identify
it.
Let's
make
sure
that
we
put
some
requirements
on
the
role.
A
What
this
person
in
this
world
should
identify,
maybe
identify
if
we
are
doing
something
very
wrong
with
Twitter,
and
we
actually
can
do
something
better
with
Twitter
again
I,
don't
think
we
shoot
and
can
but
that's
my
opinion,
I'm
biased,
so
yeah.
This
has
to
be
done
before
the
first
February
2022.
A
I
I
hope
that
I
can
just
leave
the
driving
wheel
of
of
building
the
community
here
and
set
the
goals
for
next
year.
Last
time
this
year
and
and
just
sit
in
the
passenger
side,
so
I
I
don't
want
to
leave
the
project
just
to
make
it
clear.
I,
don't
want
to
go
away
from
the
community,
no
way,
that's
what
I
love
the
most
but
I
just
don't
want
to
be
fourth
year
in
a
row.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
listening,
It's
been
a
a
huge
fund
for
me
to
to
share
all
this
data
and
insights
into
the
history.
A
I
really
do
believe
we're
doing
awesome
here
in
this
project,
and
I
can't
wait
how
we
will
do
next
year.
Thanks.
