Hi,

what about having an IRC meeting sometime this week to shape the program
in
real time a bit ? I think it would be pretty good to start the call for
papers
still in May.
pls find a new draft which Vincent, Michl and me reworked at
http://en.opensuse.org/Conference_2010/Call_For_Papers
and keep in mind that there is another IRC meeting tomorrow to discuss
feedback again, the goal is to issue the CfP still in may.

Your input is appreciated,

Thanks,

Klaas

1. I personally hate date information in a sentence and prefer it more
bullet-ized.
When: (date)
Where: (location)
etc.

It is so much easier to locate when you are trying t quickly grab
information about when the conference is so you can make plans around
it.

That's a good point. Maybe we can have something like:

What: openSUSE Conference
When: October XX-YY
Where: Nürnberg, Germany
Submission deadline: XX
Notification of acceptance: YY

at the top or bottom, to summarize everything?

2. Collaboration across Borders

"Borders" typically refer to geography, but in fact can apply to
anything. Borders between projects, borders between minds, etc. If you
take the time to emphasize that as the theme, rather than leaving it at
default assumption of geography, I think you're going to inspire a lot
more people to submit for higher glory.

The list of items in the CfP is actually supposed to do that. But we
moved it towards the end of the CfP. Would moving it back after the
introduction of the motto help?
