meetings, conferences and more - INPUT NEEDED!
My dear friends, The rest of this year and next year some cool conferences are coming our way. As your humble community dude I have to plan my travel and I have to plan where to put my sponsorship money. Now who am I to decide that when you are the people who KNOW these conferences? So I have talked with many peeps to assemble a list of conferences with some properties to help decide where to go and where to put in $$$: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap5dbL7kyNzAdDF0azhaZTJ0eVVzc2EyU1RoWEIxWnc&hl=en&authkey=CJnr1vQH On a few conferences, I have specific questions. First, FSOSS. Has anyone of you ever gone there, will anyone go? Can you tell me the size of this conference, how important it is? Then the OpenWorldForum - very much the same questions... LinuxCon Japan - who is going there next year? Will there be openSUSE peeps staffing a booth? Anyone up for that? COSCUP (Taiwan) - same questions: who is going, is it interesting, can I help? FOSSASIA (Vietnam) - same questions: who is going, is it interesting, can I help? Linux Conference Australia - anyone going, I want to go and support it! But only if there is a openSUSE team there - otherwise, I can't do it alone... SCALE next year? Anyone up for that? FOSS.IN - same questions :D CeBit - yes, who feels he/she could help out there? I'm interested in trying to get a booth there as I like the conference, but that ain't easy and I need help from you to have a good team and a good story for the organisation to allow us a booth... One more thing. If you want to go to a local conference, but money is an issue, let me know. It is not easy to reimburse people for travel and hotel, but I want to try it anyway. So again, especially when it comes to the conferences above - if you want to go but just can't afford it, let me know, maybe I can help! Take this chance, people, to make a difference and have some fun doing it! You are the local experts, I need your help in deciding where to go and what is important. Speak up! Greetings and hugs, Jos Poortvliet

I myself didn't attend LinuxCon Japan last year, but as far as I know, there wasn't any booth by FLOSS communities at the site last year and there won't be this year, neither. It is a session-oriented event and since it costs $300 ($75 for students) to attend it, there will be only few consumers and end users (most attendees are core developers and business persons). So, if you are going to attend this event next year, there might be 2 options: - Novell will sponsor the event and you are going to have a talk session as one of the Novell employees by using reserved time frame for sponsors. e.g. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/2010/linuxcon-japan/kroah-hartman http://events.linuxfoundation.org/2010/linuxcon-japan/bottomley - Apply for the session as community manager of openSUSE project aside from Novell. I'm not sure whether I will be able to attend the event next year or not ATM, but I'd like to be there and help you any way I can. ;-) # I've filled some stuff about LinuxCon Japan in on the spreadsheet.

Hi Jos! In Nicaragua i always try to go to the locals event, like FLISOL, SFD, openSUSE Days, and LinuxTour. but I didn't know that opensuse could you sponsor the costs for hotel and travel. In Central America are 2 big international events: Encuentro Centroamericano de software libre(Centro American meeting of free software) and the other i don't remember the name, i just know that the event is in Guatemala LOL 2010/9/8, Satoru Matsumoto <helios_reds@gmx.net>:

Hi, Please don't take my words as true because I need more research for this. I was reading on Fedora LATAM they are considering to plan a FUDCON on march 2011 at Ciudad del Saber (City of Knowledge), Panama with RedHat making a sponsorship. If is it true maybe we can make some synergy there to attract openSUSE people from other latitudes. Would you consider this an opportunity to spread and making openSUSE visible regionally. Next month, October, Michael "Monty" Widenius is supposed to visit Panama to give a Talk about MariaDB to stimulate developers. True or Not I will see soon. Another opportunity to bring presence for openSUSE and SUSE on this region.

For South America that sounds like a pretty interesting spot. See if we have some Mexican friends here too, anyone from the carribean of course... For Brazil it's probably doable, yet it ain't to crazy from the US. And cooperating with Fedora, why not. Depends of course on interest from our ambassadors in the region both in terms of organisation and attending. And to what extend fedora wants us there ;-)

I myself didn't attend LinuxCon Japan last year, but as far as I know, there wasn't any booth by FLOSS communities at the site last year and there won't be this year, neither. It is a session-oriented event and since it costs $300 ($75 for students) to attend it, there will be only few consumers and end users (most attendees are core developers and business persons).
So, if you are going to attend this event next year, there might be 2 options:
- Novell will sponsor the event and you are going to have a talk session as one of the Novell employees by using reserved time frame for sponsors. e.g. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/2010/linuxcon-japan/kroah-hartman
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/2010/linuxcon-japan/bottomley
- Apply for the session as community manager of openSUSE project aside from Novell.
I'm not sure whether I will be able to attend the event next year or not ATM, but I'd like to be there and help you any way I can. ;-)

Hey I am willing to go anywhere. Just let me know where.
Start with the openSUSE conference ;-)
But seriously, that's cool of course but I can hardly ask you to fly to Japan for a conference. Would be a bit expensive for you and I can't cover the costs for that either...

Dear Jos
I would like fly to Japan for a conference ^^
Oh, some day I would love to have a big meeting in Asia, where we can all meet and discuss the future... Unfortunately Asia is a bit big so that requires lots of flying ;-)
And what about the opensuse conference? i think there will be a good oportunities for all the ambassadors to meet us, and talk about future projects in our countrys
Absolutely. However, flying in from Asia, Brazil - I'm not sure how many ambassadors can afford that and we don't have the budget to reimburse them for it. So going to more local events is still important.
