[opensuse-project] openSUSE conference 2010 approaching

Moin,
first refresh your mind and/or get inspired of the openSUSE conference 2009
[1].
And then let's have some starting conversation about openSUSE conference 2010.
Most important for the start is a place and a date. As place we think
Nürnberg, Germany is a good fit as it is good to reach from where ever you're
coming from and its a convenient place to attract as many SUSE/Novell
developers as possible.
For the venue we're aiming for the same venue we had last year -
Berufsförderungswerk Nürnberg [2] - which is perfect from a conference
perspective and has 75 hotel rooms on-site with a reasonable price. Downside
was internet connectivity (2Mbit) but they meanwhile can offer 4Mbit and work
on getting 10Mbit till mid of this year. So, with some luck this downside
should be solved till the conference takes place.
From a timing perspective we currently have two options for the openSUSE
conference:
a) week of Sept 6-12
b) week of Oct 18 - 24
I strongly vote for the latter variant b) as in Southern Germany its not just
still vacation season, it's still school vacation till Sept 13th or so which
means pretty many people are on vacation in reality. Further, most of the
preparation work would fall into the globally vacation season which might not
be perfect.
Last year we had a 4 days conference [3] from Thursday through Sunday which
imo was the right duration. My question would be if it should shift days, eg.
from Wednesday through Saturday ?
For the conference in general I propose to create a team which takes care of
everything such as key notes, major topics, content in general, sponsoring,
special events, PR, advertising etc..
What about doing a openSUSE conference 2010 kick-off meeting next week on
Thursday 22, 6pm CEST [4] on openSUSE-project IRC channel?
Looking forward having an effective conference organization and to see you all
at openSUSE conference 2010.
Best
