Hi, I'm working to create a list of events around the world that openSUSE might (want to) go to - with associated info like size and target audience. This will help us decide where to send materials and/or people to. And now I need your help...
You're the people who go to events, so if we're going to make a list and decide how to support them and how important they are, we need to hear from you! Please, open the google spreadsheet if you can, and spend a little time to add information about events I've forgotten or correct what I have.
The ones with green are ones I know are properly in there, the ones with red really need some input - the ones without a color I'm unsure about. If you know about an event and can add the info, make it green - so others don't spend brain cells on it ;-)
The numbers mean: how likely are you to talk to (1=very unlikely - 5=very likely): * Business people * Developers * Students * Average users
* FOSS knowledge = do the people know what the 'Free' in 'Free Software means (like they do at a GNOME hackfest for example, score 5) or do they have no clue (at a generic tech event, score 1)
* How likely are you to bump into international folks (1 = the website is only in $local language - 5 = everyone speaks English and comes from 5 continents at once)
* How technical are the sessions (1 = how to use LibreOffice - 5 = kernel drivers are easy)
I hope you have some time for this!! If events are missing, please add them. Even if you don't have all the details - the more we have, the better. If I forgot someone who knows many events and might want to help, please add him/her.
Events from Italy are updated ;) Bye and... have a lot of fun!
Thank you Marina!!! Appreciate the help. I have seen a few others of you helped out, that is greatly appreciated. Still, I'm sure there are more events happening or improvements to the list that could be done. Who's going to events? please take a bit of time to have a look and improve the list... Note that we will use this list to determine what events will get support (in terms of merchandising, travel money etc) for next year so it is important you get your events in there! /Jos
