I'm posting this on the conference mailing list in case the cfp committee hasn't signed up and been approved on the cfp mailing list yet.
Based on this mornings meeting (aka if we co-locate with LinuxExpo), previous postings and feedback from osc11, I'd like to propose that we align the session proposals to the following 5 tracks/day: - Community & Education presentations: New technology and community learning - Hacker Workshops : Join with fellow programmers to hone your skills and contributions - BoF : (small highly interactive, project oriented discussions and coding; defining direction) - SUSE Labs : The SUSE Labs hackers meet face-to-face to share their knowledge and experience with each other and learn new things.
We are not completely sure that we will have it together yet. Vojtech Pavlik expressed interest, but somehow we manged to left him out of all this :-( My fault. I'll talk to him on Monday and clarify things, tell him what we have going on etc. I wasn't part of CfP committee last year, but I can imagine, that they could want to have their own CfP/committee. Will get back with results of that discussion on Monday.
- Czech language sessions : A variety of openSUSE related topics presented in Czech language to provide collaboration opportunities and cross over with LinuxExpo (All other tracks will be presented in English)
Just a note to make it fit, LinuxExpo will try to focus mainly on practical stuff. Show how you can do that, how to setup something else etc. They are going to try to avoid talks about what is new in latest Ubuntu and rather concentrate on talks like how to use Unity effectively or Cool stuff you can do with Gnome Shell.
+ Keynotes + Evening events We had enough people yesterday volunteering to investigate pubs, we'll get to that one asap ;-) I actually already have an idea on what to do and where, will post it later on CfP list, want to keep it as surprise and not sure whether it will be possible, about prices and stuff... Will get some of the people from pub committee to do some investigation :-B
Just a side note, as we spoked about theme "Bootstrapping awesome", Jos
had an idea, that CfP committee should try to prefer talks and sessions
about newly emerging cool bleeding edge technologies and projects.
