[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

[opensuse-conference] LPI Exam Labs
by Konstantinos Boukouvalas 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi to all, As probably many of you know I was active in SUSE and openSUSE translations some years ago. I'm very happy to see a thriving community nowdays and very pleased that there will be an openSUSE Conference in my city in July. I'm coming with my openSUSE 6.4 box, which was also the distribution that I started my personal adventure in GNU/Linux (hash symbol these days was the progress bar!) Almost 14 years have passed since then, and in 2013 I'm the operations manager for LPI Greece and I have to make a suggestion. This is to organise an LPI Exam Lab during openSUSE Conference. LPI Greece would be happy to offer LPI newly updated (July 2012) exams to the audience of openSUSE enthousiasts. Please note the SUSE Partnership of LPI (http://www.lpi.org/linux-certifications/partnership-programs/suse) which means that that holders of LPIC certifications are now eligible to apply for and receive the SUSE Certified Linux Administrator (CLA) certification at no additional cost or exams. It would be my pleasure to cooperate with openSUSE Conference for the promotion of certification in GNU/Linux. -- Operations Manager LPI Greece -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello, Some of my contacts, asked me to add a banner of the conference at their sites. The 2 high traffic blogs/sites that have to do with open source [1] and [2], another blog/site with not so many visits [3] and a web-newspaper [4]. Soon enough I might have news from another technology site. Is it possible someone from the sponsor team to contact them for further action? Thanks Stathis [1] http://www.linuxinside.gr/ [2] http://osarena.net/ [3] http://linuxfan.gr/ [4] http://www.nea-epohi.gr -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis Great leaders don't tell you what to do...

Hi, We are slowly starting to roll in getting the openSUSE Summit organization going. Andy has volunteered to work on the art work and we kicked some ideas around. Andy has created the following logos http://s1108.beta.photobucket.com/user/anditosan/media/LogoSunIdeaFL_zps281… http://s1108.beta.photobucket.com/user/anditosan/media/LogoSunIdeaPeach_zps… I personally like the one with the peach leaves and suggest that we run with it. Any additional input on these?
