[opensuse-announce] Conference travel sponsorship program
by Henne Vogelsang 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Members, friends, people, the openSUSE conference team is starting the travel sponsorship program to financially support community members to attend the conference. Apply now online until August 5th! The openSUSE conference “RWX³” is the place to be for anyone using, working on or taking advantage of the openSUSE Project. No matter if you use our technology such as the Open Build Service, contribute packages to 12.1 or evangelize the world as an Ambassador, this is your conference. You can also meet a lot of your friends from other projects like KDE, GNOME, Linux, Samba, LibreOffice and, of course many people from other GNU/Linux distributions with whom we collaborate on technologies like packaging, appstores or low-level tools like systemd. The conference takes place from September 11th to 14th in Nuremberg, Germany. Nürnberg is quite easy and cheap to reach from nearly everywhere in Europe but it happens to be that the world is slightly bigger than that. We have contributors from India, Taiwan, the US, Brazil, Australia and many other countries around the globe. A trip to the conference might be affordable to most, but we also have contributors at the beginning of their career where money is usually tight. No matter the reason why, if you need financial assistance to be able to attend the openSUSE conference we have something for you: The travel sponsorship program. And while the conference organization team is relentlessly looking for more sponsors for it, the team has enough commitments by now to start the program today. Hooray! If you want to come to the conference in September but need assistance with the travel costs, you can apply to be sponsored via email now. Read on to learn how! http://news.opensuse.org/2011/07/23/travel-sponsorship-program/ Your openSUSE conference team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Conference registration open!
by Jos Poortvliet 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

The organization team is excited to announce that the registration for the openSUSE Conference, from September 11 to 14 in Nürnberg, is now open. Head over to our registration form and register to help us plan for a great event! http://bit.ly/r2mxGN Preparations Two months from now the openSUSE and SUSE Labs Conference will kick off in Nuremberg, Germany. That means, as flights don’t get cheaper, you have to start planning your days off, your trip, hotel and send in a talk while the CfP is still open! Hotel The openSUSE conference team has made a list of hotels where you can book your stay for the duration of the conference. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_hotels It is recommended to use these hotels as they will not only have fellow geekos in them but are also for special conference prices and not too far from our location, Zentrifuge. Financial travel support For some of you, the trip to Nuremberg is financially not easy. You might be a student, or have to fly in all the way from India. We know that very well and you can count on an announcement of the what and how of travel subsidy soon. We will do everything we can to ensure our community members from far away or on low budget are also able to come and join us! Visa Another important thing to think of in time is access to Europe/Germany. We have a standard invitation letter you can get from us on request. For that, send a mail with some personal details (who you are, what you do for openSUSE, what you will do at the conf, that stuff) to opensuse-conference(a)opensuse.org and the team will send you one. Registration Registering makes sure there’s a badge for you at the conference, you won’t have to wait in line for us to create one for you on the spot. It’ll also make sure you are able to go on the wifi and we have a place for you at the party. And of course it allows us to plan better so it matters a lot that you register as soon as possible if you intend to come! http://bit.ly/r2mxGN Please note that for the registration, you don’t have to create an account. Last but not least, there is an option between two different tickets. Entrance is free for all but those who want to support the conference and can afford it can buy a professional ticket. For $350 or €250 you get, besides access to the conference, a networking dinner with the speakers and other professional ticket holders as well as a session with SUSE Product Management. Helping Out Meanwhile, the conference team is welcomes all the help it can get! If you want to get involved and help us make the openSUSE conference the best ever, please subscribe to the team mailinglist: opensuse-conference(a)opensuse.org and checkout the planning page.

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Medical release and new leadership
by Jos Poortvliet 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Today, openSUSE news [1] brought the announcement of a new openSUSE Medical [2] release and new leadership in the Medical project. openSUSE Medical was started during the openSUSE Conference 2009 and had it's first stable release in November 2010 based on openSUSE 11.3. A few days ago, the new team lead Anastasios Rousinopoulos has made available the first beta of openSUSE Medical 11.4 [3]. openSUSE Medical is now part of the Linux Medical Taskforce [4] and has exciting plans for the future included importing diabetes care and diabetics applications, some educational applications for students and of course the usual updates, bugfixes and translations. The openSUSE medical project has been a success. The SUSE gallery image has been downloaded well over 1400 times and was cloned by 162 users so they could provide their own variations of openSUSE Medical! The team is excited about the new release and especially looking forward to input from medical professionals in the field. They would greatly appreciate feedback from medical students and, physicians but also patients [5] to further improve the software selection.
