Apologies, I didn't notice you weren't set as the author. I've put you as writer on the bottom and added a reference to your talk. When would you like to publish this?

RESEND FOR THE LIST(S) (*Sorry, I use html emails all the time*) Dear Jos, Kostas, Thank you for your compliments. If possible add the image attached and another image with the geeko of course. This actually shows the connection between LPIC-1 and SUSE CLA as well the SUSE Certification path. I think its up to the point the article suggests. Please notify, whenever is published, for me to upload at LPI Greece Community Corner, my blog and social networks. Publish everywhere you have access, for me its ok. Thanks a lot.

[opensuse-conference] conference a4 full page ad
by Jos Poortvliet 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Heya, We are offered a full page ad in the upcoming Linux Magazin if we can send it before Friday. Who is up for giving it a try? The end result doesn't have to have the text that I put in, per-se, just make sure there's an explanation of the event ;-) We might or might not get many visitors due to this, I have no idea- probably not many as it is late (the magazines will go out on July 4 or so). But every bit helps :D Ping me if you've got something. I will send what I have on Thursday night. I created a 'fall-back' in case we don't have time to come up with something better: http://susepaste.org/98076859 Source in github. Feel free to use it as a base for improvement. /J

We could publish it on news.opensuse.org perhaps, or even on linux.com (I have contacts there) if it is real good. If you can, make a draft, and let's see where we can take it.

[opensuse-conference] IRC feedback
by Jos Poortvliet 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Heya, Lots of people will be at oSC but many can't be there unfortunately. In a chat with Christian Boltz (who can't be there either) we thought it'd be great if somehow, those not there could participate. Of course this is a general, and hard problem. We do use IRC and remotely, some people will participate like happened last year. But wouldn't there be a way to make this more visible? Having an IRC channel per room, visible on a second beamer perhaps, or on a screen? What do you think, is it possible? /J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] article about oSC sessions!
by Jos Poortvliet 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Friends, We need to get people to register and book for the openSUSE conference as soon as possible. What better way than to tease them with some juicy and interesting sessions they would be able to enjoy? Our paper committee has made some executive decisions and the first sessions are decided upon. Awesome, as that means we can start to advertise them! The sessions include keynote speakers opening every day (Georg Greve on Friday, Michael Miller on Saturday and yours truly on Sunday) and about 25-30 confirmed sessions. That should give us plenty to write about, heck, we can probably do a number of articles if we want. But that requires some writing help! I would propose to do 4 articles. One about the keynote speakers and then one in each of the three main areas of talks: Community & Project; Geeko Tech and openWorld. I will write the first of the three main areas, show at least one way of doing it. Who's up for picking a 2nd and who does a 3rd? And who would like to talk to our (more or less) esteemed keynote speakers and find out what they will talk about? Hugs, Jos
