Marketing Gurus,
I have worked on on the conference pages [1] and [2] and would ask you to quickly look over these again and approve ;-)
Furthermore, below you find my proposal for a news.o.o entry that announces the conference in general and the cfp in particular.
Please also check that and let me know what has to be changed. We agreed that we want to announce this week, so time is pressing. It would be cool to have your comments and approval within the next few hours so that we can issue it tonight. Or is it better to not do it so short before weekend?
Thanks,
Klaas

==> Announcement Draft:
The openSUSE Project Team is happy to announce that the 2nd international openSUSE Conference will take place in Nuremberg, Germany between 20-23 October 2010.
After the great success of the first conference last years we will again meet in Nuremberg to discuss, learn, plan and work on the openSUSE project with all its subprojects as well as on general free software topics.
Specifically this year we're explicitly inviting members of upstream projects and other community distributions to discuss comprehensive topics of free software and projects to move forward with free technology across borders, which is also the motto of the openSUSE conference 2010

I've gone through the news.o.o draft and it seems good to me. I've made a few minor adjustments (mostly spelling corrections). The CFP and Landing page look fine, although I'm not 100% sold on the logo. Seeing as I have ZERO artistic ability I'll just STFU on that though :-) ==> Announcement Draft: The openSUSE Project Team is happy to announce that the 2nd international openSUSE Conference will take place in Nuremberg, Germany between 20-23 October 2010.
