[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Conference Keynote announcement - Register today to attend!
The openSUSE Project is proud to announce the first confirmed keynote for the
first-ever openSUSE Conference. 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[1] to
reserve your spot!
The opening keynote will be given by Leslie Hawthorn of Google. Leslie is a
program manager for Google's Open Source Programs Office, and community
manager for the Google Summer of Code. The topic of the keynote is "Mentoring
for Fun and Profit," and the full description can be found on the openSUSE
Conference Web site.
The openSUSE Conference is for anyone and everyone making a contribution to
openSUSE. Whether you’re a developer, packager, translator, artist, or
ambassador, you belong at the openSUSE Conference if you want to help promote,
improve, and influence the openSUSE Project.
The conference will have two daily tracks[2] of pre-planned talks, plus
“BarCamp” style tracks for attendees to plan and provide their own content.
Scheduled talks include:
* openSUSE Build Service and Cross-Platform Packaging: Peter Linnell
* Git in the openSUSE Build Service: Andreas Gruenbacher
* openSUSE & Moblin: Michael Meeks
* Building Commercial Grade Appliances with SUSE Studio: Marcus Moeller
The openSUSE KDE team will be holding a full program of contributor workshops
and sprints during the openSUSE Conference.
We’ll also be celebrating Software Freedom Day on Saturday, September 19th
with Open Day — a full day of introductory sessions for users new to Linux,
open source, and openSUSE.
