by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

The openSUSE Project is happy to announce that Lenz Grimmer will be delivering the opening keynote for the first-ever openSUSE Conference[1]. The openSUSE Conference will be held September 17 through September 20 in Nürnberg, Germany. Register today![2] Grimmer's keynote, "Working in a Virtual Community," This session will talk about the pros and cons of working in a virtual organization, some proven best practices and tools, and how everyone can benefit from this working environment. Grimmer will discuss how to build trust, passion, and self- motivation, and how communities can work in distributed environments. Leslie Hawthorn, Google's Program Manager for open source, was originally scheduled to deliver the opening keynote. Due to a schedule conflict, Hawthorn won't be able to attend the openSUSE Conference. She sends her regrets and hopes to attend an openSUSE event in the near future. Our closing keynote will be delivered by Gianugo Rabellino, Chief Executive Officer of Sourcesense[3] and member of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). The openSUSE Conference is an opportunity for openSUSE contributors to attend talks, workshops, Birds of a Feather sessions, and collaborate together face to face. The conference will be held from September 17 through September 20 in Nürnberg, Germany. Register today[2] to reserve your spot! The conference will have two daily tracks of pre-planned talks, plus "BarCamp[4]" style tracks for attendees to plan and provide their own content. Scheduled talks include: * Insights into openSUSE Infrastructure: Klaas Freitag * News from the GNOME Zoo: Vincent Untz * Samba @ openSUSE: Lars Müller Unconference ============= The openSUSE Conference will also have a major "unconference" component, where talks and sessions can be scheduled in BarCamp format. We'll have plenty of time for contributors to discuss and work on topics they're interested in face to face. Unconference planning is being done on the openSUSE wiki[5]. Want to lead a session? Jump in and edit the wiki! Register Today! ================ The conference is less than two weeks away. If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so today! Registration is at conference.opensuse.org/registration. We'll accept registrations up to the conference, but space is limited. We also have a limited number of t-shirts on hand. Registered attendees will get preference over unregistered attendees. Hotels and Getting There ========================= Time is running out to book your hotel for the openSUSE Conference. Limited space is still available in the venue. All registrants should have received information on booking hotel. Registrations are being made through Alexia Henrie (ahenrie at novell.com).

[opensuse-announce] Power Outage in Nuernberg Office Sep. 12.-13.
by Lars Vogdt 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

From Sep 12 to Sep 13 we will have a power outage in the Nuernberg office. Downtime is planned from 2009-09-11 20:00 CEST (18:00 UTC) until 2009-09-14 10:00 CEST (08:00 UTC). So it might become a long weekend especially for developers - but we plan to avoid restrictions for endusers during this downtime. So far, the following services are definitively affected by this downtime: * Build Service * Mailing lists * ...and more Please have a look at the "downtime" wiki page to see the full list of affected hosts. Not affected: * <lang>.opensuse.org (all opensuse wikis) * forums.opensuse.org * irc.freenode.net/opensuse* channels * bugzilla.novell.com The discussion to host at least download.opensuse.org and static.opensuse.org somewhere else is work in progress. We plan no replacement for the other services as the downtime is not too large. We will try to reduce/disable building on build.opensuse.org on Thursday, so all mirrors should have "up-to date" packages over the weekend. With kind regards, Lars (on behalf of the openSUSE-Admins) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
