As many of you know, I’ve been working hard to get ready for the first ever openSUSE conference in North America, the openSUSE Summit (http://summit.opensuse.org). We still have a lot of work to do before the big event in Orlando from September 21-23. Across the big pond, similar efforts are underway for our annual openSUSE Conference to be held in Prague in October. (http://conference.opensuse.org.) Michal Hrusecky has been working diligently with his team to make that conference as awesome as ever. Earlier today, Michal and I had a conversation. We agreed we need to move forth on getting an app ready for both events. It seems silly for each of our teams to find someone to develop an app. Why two stones for one bird? Right? So we’re putting out the call now for anyone who has an interest in creating or enhancing existing phone app that covers the conference program and all activities happening around the conference. Here’s some details: * We had an app for Android for last year’s openSUSE Conference. The source is here. (https://github.com/digitaltom/OSCFahrplan) * We did not have an app for iPhone. As geeky as we are, there are a number of people out there that carry iPhones. * The apps are meant to reduce paper and increase communication to our attendees * Ideally, the app would list non–Program events, such as parties and other things going on. * Ideally, the app would update periodically for any program changes * Ideally, the app is capable of receiving announcements throughout the conference. * There probably needs to be two separate apps, one for each conference. * You can reuse the existing source or develop from scratch. A “Dream App” would be cool. * I personally would like to see some increased a11y features (like zooming, etc.) * We might be interested in allowing users to switch to different language versions within the app. If you’re interested and have the skills, please reach out to me and Michal and we’ll all work together to make this an awesome tool to enhance our attendees’ experience.
