[opensuse-conference] Add the Spanish language at Confernce's web page
by Athanasios-Ilias Rousinopoulos 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hello Geekos, In openSUSE Summit's web page the Spanish translation is available (http://summit.opensuse.org/es/) My idea was to translate the openSUSE's Conference web page in Spanish as well. So i would like begin with this and also asking for participation in the spanish mailing list as well. In order to make the translation i need access to the github repository.

[opensuse-conference] final poster
by Jos Poortvliet 31 May '12

31 May '12

Andi has made a (for now) final version of the poster. It is in Github - for anyone who thinks he/she can improve it further :D Link to a small render: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/Conference%20600dpi%20.5cm%20bleed.png (I did make 2 adjustments: add links & fix date & add a little text, and resize logo's and the whole thing to add some bleed. None of that is moved to github yet, maybe Andi would prefer to do that himself... Or anyone else up for doing a better job that I could?) Andi promised to make a logo next. I also would like to ask him to put the sources on-line for this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/oSC_Logo2_anditosan.png my gf likes it a lot and tells me we should make a poster out of that one, too :D So maybe we can have two posters, one showing the 'full' event, the other talkin' about the openSUSE part. thanks all, /Jos PS I will now go and print ~10 posters for LinuxTag. We can get feedback from visitors and possibly adjust the posters based on that :D

[opensuse-conference] conference announcement
by Jos Poortvliet 25 May '12

25 May '12

Heya all, The openSUSE conference announcement on news.o.o: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/05/30/opensuse-conference-has-a-location-and- a-cfp-out/?preview=true is almost good to go. Minor fixes, including adding a logo (anditosan promised to work on that) might be needed but I won't be doing that! The article WILL go live Wednesday, may 30th, 9:00 UTC. So if there are changes needed: make them! Theo, the Gentoo Miniconf - Just Do It, dude! If you really don't want to do it, you have to cancel it NOW. We have to re-do all our artwork, the website and this announcement on Tuesday MORNING CEST. If the changes aren't done before 12:00 tomorrow morning EU time, they probably won't be done... And it sucks for the artwork, so just do it :D Now I will try to gather the text from the announcement tomorrow to send a primer to the press - that's also why I ask to hurry up with feedback and (making) changes... Love and hugs and see some of you at LinuxTag! /Jos

[opensuse-conference] about the gentoo miniconf
by Theo Chatzimichos 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hello, I'd like to let you know that there is a big possibility that the gentoo miniconf won't happen along with the LinuxDays/openSUSE conf. The most important reason is that the feedback I got so far from the Gentoo community is not so positive about the event, and I don't want it to be alone there :) There is no reason to get into more details I think, just keep that in mind for the announcements/artwork you are preparing. I will try to gather some more feedback from the gentoo community, and will give you a *final* decision about the gentoo miniconf on Tuesday. I deeply apologize for the trouble I am causing here. This does not affect my contribution to the openSUSE conf though, for which I am still willing to help.

[opensuse-conference] One page to rule them all
by Jos Poortvliet 21 May '12

21 May '12

I've been thinking - and that's where it all went wrong, I know. So we're co-locating with other confs - 3 of them. And we (almost) have this nice all-in-one poster to show off that fact. It'd be nice to also have ONE URL to point people too! Something like 'bootstrapping-awesome.org' or so :d The site would be a one-page thing, just a static HTML with the poster with the four logo's and below a simple text like "4 conferences, 2 days, 1 place. All awesome!" (the poster has the place & dates already) Then each logo on the poster has a mouse-over effect giving a 10-word description of the event and upon clicking gets you to the website. This would sove the problem that I have no idea what link to put on the poster ATM :D Who likes it? If you do, how about someone with some admin powers tries to secure that URL and someone with a bit of HTML and script fu trows together the web page? Or not? /Jos (I go to bed now, ttyl tomorrow...)

[opensuse-conference] target visitors

20 May '12

Heya, Those of you who haven't, pls read my blog about Re:Publica, an event in Berlin two weeks ago: http://blog.jospoortvliet.com/2012/05/republica.html I think it'd be nice to try and do some of that for our conference. It would need: - at least one track with carefully picked (invited, some paid for...) speakers - and advertising in the right places! It'll cost money and time but might attackt quite some interesting people. Thoughts? /Jos

Disadvantage, they do the catering and we would have to negotiate something to be able to sell our beer. Reserved dormitory for Monday and Tuesday, final details to be polished next week. I'll either confirm it and tell them details or cancel it. On Monday I have a meeting with the dean of faculty to discuss everything. What is needed to discuss is price for the weekend at university (for LinuxDays conference, RedHat is putting in 1000 EUR). There was also the option that they'll let us stay at university and move their courses to the dormitory - more freedom and less work for us or that they'll manage to give us discount for dormitory. So currently it looks like it will work, unless we will hit some other major issue. Final price depends on Monday. I believe that without any discounts and if we would pay for whole LinuxDays (which we are not going to do), based on current estimates, total price will be less than 200k CZK ~ 8k EUR. Will get lower based on RedHat and depending on what rooms we will need.

[opensuse-conference] website moved forward, not there yet. ARTWORK NEEDED ASAP!
by Jos Poortvliet 18 May '12

18 May '12

Heya all, As the subject says - I've spend a number of hours working diligently on the website. It is not there yet but can be, soon. The location page needs work on hotels, public transport and such and we need links to LinuxDays and the Gentoo Mini Summit website (even if it is just a static page for both, SOMETHING should go up ASAP). But I already did a lot, including putting the CfP page on there. The artwork is also needed, of course - I hope anditosan or someone else can make some time soon. For now, I picked this as the 'final logo': http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/oSC_Logo_anditosan.png Resized to 200x300. Obviously this ain't perfect, I hope we can come up with a better one before Monday. URGENT: We will also need adjusted versions (for our poster and the site) of the Gentoo, SUSE Labs and LinuxDays logo tomorrow to be fit in the 2x2 format poster, in SVG if possible - so I can print posters for LinuxTag!!! Tomorrow means within 24 hours of this email - and that's already pushing it as I need to go to a copy shop in time... Michal, Pavol and anyone else on the local team: I need you to review the current website and help make it ready for launch. As reminder, it's in github: https://github.com/shayonj/openSUSE-Conference There is easy stuff there: a picture of the university, for example. There is a number of 0-byte images in the static/images/conference directory, these need to be replaced. Mailing them to me is fine if you prefer that :D We'll also need artwork for the rest of the website (but we can probably re-use at least some of the summit stuff if we have no time). Shayon, any chance you can deploy the changes I made in the last few hours so we have an up-to-date thing to look at? I think it's time to just replace the current link on conference.opensuse.org to the portal with this :D I will now work on updating Indico as far as I can. Thanks all and please chime in!

[opensuse-conference] Our Conference artwork
by Jos Poortvliet 17 May '12

17 May '12

Heya all, As I said before I've been talking to Andres 'anditosan' Silva about an openSUSE Conference logo. He pulled in Michael Fox and together this is what they came up with after a number of itterations: http://s1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/?action=view&current=oSC… The idea behind it is: - it's taken from Andy Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe painting - new, fresh, groundbreaking art. If you steal, steal from the best etc ;-) Google it if you don't know it... - we can use this incarnation as our oSC artwork. But imagine replacing three of the four geeko's with a SUSE Labs logo, a Gentoo logo and a LinuxDays logo. Of course in that style. Then we have 4-in-1, showing the unity yet unique-ness of our 4 events-in-one. What do you think? Please keep artwork and these gents in CC when discussing this. /Jos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] Brochures and Other Paper related goodies from India
by Manu Gupta 15 May '12

15 May '12

Hi All, I just wanted to say if you are planning for getting brochures and other stuff printed, it can be done pretty cheap in India. So if anyone visits oSC this year in India, they can probably take it with them. ( I hope someone does go ). Maybe we can discuss other stuff too like stickers and all. The current price is around 25USD for a 1000 brochures. Let me know if this sounds an idea.

[opensuse-conference] openSUSE Conference venue
by Michal Hrusecky 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi, little update from negotiations. We found a way how to make it all work. It's not perfect, but according to my opinion doable. There is dormitory in the campus where they do have free space. They have conference room for 200 people, for 80 people and two rooms for 40 for workshops. We can rent this on Monday and Tuesday and spend the weekend at the University so we will have to move on Sunday evening/Monday morning. Currently it looks like these two days will cost us about 90-100k CZK < 4k EUR. I know it would be better to start alone and then have a big event all together, but unfortunately dormitory doesn't have enough free rooms on Thursday. On university we can take during weekend pretty much as much small rooms as we want, the rest will depend on how do we divide it with other two conferences. Costs for University is still unofficial (we were talking about 40k CZK ~ 1.6k Eur, final offer still in discussion). I believe it's still doable. And I still think that it will be awesome event. I'll try to meet with them and discuss stuff asap. Little downside, I'm leaving for conference in Wien next week and will be there whole week. Not sure whether I can actually sign anything on behalf of the company and what is still Okish from the budget point of view. Will go scouting the location and will try to meat with dean and dormitory manager to get at least some reservation before I'll leave, so will be sure that nobody will decide to have conference in the same time at same place before somebody will sign it on behalf of company. Now, even more downsides. We are talking about October 20-23. On 23rd PostreSQL conference Europe starts in Prague at different university (one day overlap, probably no big deal). From 18th to 21st there is Realtime Linux Workshop somewhere (probably no big issue for us either). And on 20/21st there should be GSoC Mentor summit if I'm not mistaken (two people from each open source project not able to come to our conference). So any objections, comments, better solutions, flying stones, UFOs, whatever? -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net>
