[opensuse-conference] Beta testers needed
by Robert Schweikert 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hi all, Shortly after we got the program committee for oSC13 going a couple of months ago Matt started to work on a new web application for registration and proposal submission. No one was really happy with Indico and other projects appeared not well maintained or would have required major surgery to get the look and feel as well as functionality we were striving for. The hard work Matt has put into the project is starting to pay off and I am honored to be able to announce the beta testing period of OSEM. OSEM is up and running at https://conference.opensuse.org/osem , please check out the application and take it for a spin. Note, that any data you enter will be cleared once we go live with the application. The goal is to open registration and proposal submission no later than next week Wednesday. Thus, please test the application and report bugs/issues directly to Matt at matt(a)incoherent.de If the calendar selection for the arrival date is not working for you, that is a known issue. For those that have time, knowledge and interest, you can submit patches to: https://github.com/mbarringer/osem With this, let the testing begin. Matt, thanks for your hard work it is much appreciated. Later, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead rjschwei(a)suse.com rschweik(a)ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

Andy, I remember , after the summit logo has been done, I've send to you, some variations of that logo chosen. Maybe having a mix of that variations plus the Disney castle like Robert said , could be an quickly and not bad option for that. Do you still have those files, do you remember it? 2013/2/22 Carlos Ribeiro <carlosribeiro(a)opensuse.org>: > Andy, I remember , after the summit logo has been done, I've send to you, > some variations of that logo chosen. > > Maybe having a mix of that variations plus the Disney castle like Robert > said , could be an quickly and not bad option for that. > Do you still have those files, do you remember it? > > On Feb 22, 2013 4:03 PM, "Robert Schweikert" <rjschwei(a)suse.com> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> On 02/22/2013 01:48 PM, Andy anditosan wrote: >>> >>> Hello >>> >>> I consulted around about working for the summit.

[opensuse-conference] [offtopic] Pet owners, bring your pet with you during conferece
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Hello, Since it's my major, I was thinking if it'll be cool if someone wants to bring his/her pet during conference. Not sure if my school will be open during summer (since there are some budget cuts from the goverment for education) but for sure I know some Vets nearby the conference venue. They can help just incase of emergency. If someone wants to travel with his/her pet, he/she has to visit his/her vet before travelling but I guess he/she knows it that already. Let me know if you're inerested about such thing. Take care, Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis Great leaders don't tell you what to do... They show you how it's done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] cfp announcement
by Jos Poortvliet 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Heya, Sorry I couldn't publish the CfP yesterday. I am working on the feature guide and simply have no time and won't have today or tomorrow. Blocking issue before the article can go out: The PDF of the sponsorship brochure needs to be put on the website in a single-file format (I only have two separate PDF files now...) and linked from the announcement. Then it can be published. I hope someone can step in and help with this. I might have time tomorrow but I can't promise it. /Jos

[opensuse-conference] Sponsorship Brochure - benefits approved.
by Jos Poortvliet 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

I'd like to ask Stella, Kostas, Izabel, Robert and all other opinionated people :D to have a look at the google doc with the conference sponsorship brochure and tell me if they are OK with this. The sponsorship levels and benefits are Ok'ed with SUSE now. Texts can of course still be improved. For the artwork people (esp Carlos and Anditosan as you already worked on this): I'd like to ask you then to take this text into a design. Please have a look at the examples I've send before (the awesome SCALE brochure) and the design example on page 3. Make it look pretty, guys :D Hugs, Jos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] Logo Idea for T-shirts
by Andy Silva 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Here is a logo idea for the t-shirts to wear at oSC 13. I think it is simple and can work great on any area of the t-shirt. http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/tshirtlogo_zps79a79b8a.p… Hopefully it works :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] CFP announcement comments/changes
by Stella Rouzi (differentreality) 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hello, referring to this announcement https://news.opensuse.org/?p=15001&preview=true - First paragraph: date should read 18-22 July, as this is how we have been announcing it so far? - Registration System link is mistyped - "Supporters and professional ticket holders will receive a special thank you surprise upon checkin." Is checkin the right word for that? Kinda reminds me of hotel check-in. Maybe we can say upon arrival at the registration desk? - Submit proposals link that now reads "TEMPORARY" is https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/conference/osc2013/proposal/new (If we want to redirect people to the exact link). TEMPORARY = our proposal submission system ? - Maybe above links need to be opened in new tab - Submission period begins in 19th February - Change date to 18 in 'About the conference' paragraph - Make reference to conference.opensuse.org website in the beginning or end of article [ok, might sound silly but I guess people will translate this announcement and might fail to add the link to conf website.] Thanks, Stella -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] [osc13] Network
by Stella Rouzi (differentreality) 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hello everybody, I just received confirmation about setting up high speed internet at the venue. (Greece unfortunately doesn't provide adequate speed for home or even business usage so we had to come up with a special idea to cover this.) Relevant trello task [1]. Internet will be provided by the organization [2] that provides internet to Greek universities. They will set up a wireless link between a near by university (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki - AUTH) and our venue. They have already done a site survey and have decided its doable. We will be offered an internet speed of minimum 100mbit, but possibly we will ask for double - it doesn't make any difference to them. What they offer is the wireless link set up (including equipment that will be put on the roof of venue - antennas etc-, the manpower to put everything together and any internal setup they need to do in order to provide us with IPs). The venue is informed and agreed, and we have already visited the site for this purpose with a representative of AUTH who did the survey to determine if the wireless link is possible. To put it very simply, their responsibility ends when they provide us with the cable from the antenna coming down to the venue. What we do with that connection, how we set it up, how we manage the wireless connection to attendees, what kind of equipment we use for switches and Access Points inside the venue, or how we share that connection between attendees and video upload for streaming, that's 100% on us. On the local side of volunteers, even though we have people with Computer Science degree and even networking specialization, the 300 people that will use wireless connection during the conference need some special handling which we cannot undertake 100%. The internet sponsor has asked us to tell them how we plan to arrange networking inside the venue, prior to them starting setting up the wireless link, since they need to do some work and they don't want it to be in vain. What we need: ---------------------- 1. Make a full list of the equipment (switches, Access Points etc) we need, with specifications based on our needs (we will then search for options on how to get that: rent or get it sponsored) 2. An actual and detailed plan in written of how the setup is going to be implemented, so that we can send it asap to the sponsor. 3. The person that can answer the above, who should be at the venue sometime in advance to do the setup of the network (of course local volunteers will help, but someone needs to lead), coordinate with the local team for whatever we need to prepare in advance, and of course be present during the conference in case problems rise. Options: ------------ 1. Most possible scenario, someone from greek foss community will help with that (I already have a couple of people in mind that have the necessary professional experience) - help as in volunteer and fully take care of it and be present during the event. 2. Being summer and all that, I am not sure what those people's plans are yet. I feel just fine paying someone to handle this. 3. Someone of YOU know how to do this and all our problems are, almost, solved :) I am looking forward to ideas/suggestions.
