Artwork team! If we can get conference-promotion banners in the sizes below, we can get them on lwn.net. Sooner is better ;-) Know that LWN's background is white so I suggest a white background to make them look nicely fitting in. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: oSC14 Date: Friday 07 March 2014, 07:47:27 From: Jake Edge <jake(a)lwn.net> To: jospoortvliet(a)gmail.com On Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:33:14 +0100 Jos Poortvliet wrote: > Yeap, it is.

See below. We've done it at conf.kde.in too - it is not too crazy much work (other than requiring the board members to sign it, of course) and it is helpful for some. I'm sure Carlos can create a design, we can print it - we could either add a "I would like a certificate" button to registration or make one for everybody. /J ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: apostolis ntokos <apostntok(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 9:54 PM Subject: openSuse Conferance To: jos(a)opensuse.org HI Jos, my name is Apostolos Ntokos from Athens, i m student at University of Pireus and i'm friend with Kostas Livieratos.He told me about the conference and I am very glad because i m going to participate ιn this on April. I would like to ask you if Suse is able to give me any kind of certification for my presence at the Conferance. A certicicate would be very useful for my studies at computer science! Thanks a lot!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hey there, I put in a proposed talk for oSC 14, on the website, concerning Bodega, and just curious as to whether or not it has been or is going to get approved, as I'm rapidly approaching my deadline to get airfare/room arranged for a decent price...... Thanks!

(It is not very clear to me what's the course of action we need to take either) And just to be clear, this is the first time the whole situation with location and buying tickets is mentioned, right? I don't remember discussing this last year - or is my memory failing me? What about we only offer the USD option (in terms of links)? It's gonna look weird or even ugly since ppl already got the sponsors brochure with EUR prices, but we can get started on accepting donations right away at least. We can put it in the website like this: $250 (€200) And regarding onsite... We are *not* selling anything. Nothing. Nada. I am pretty sure I have said that way too many times this year :/ Are you (Svebor) saying that people cannot make donations during the conference?!?

Hey guys I lost my way at working with the website and git. I just wanted to request if anyone that can would change the title on the conference website to use FifthLeg for OSC14 and also use opensans for the dates below. Additionally, can you remove the shadow from those two items?

[opensuse-conference] media partnership

Heya, what do we offer press for a media partnership? Based on what we did in the last years, how about: - they get mentioned on our site as media partners - free entree for 1 journalist on 'professional' level - they can bring/send goodies for the conf bag (eg magazines, flyers, ...) Journalists get: * access to the press room * a press kit? * we would be happy to help them arrange interviews. We want them to promote our event a bit. People I will ask: * Linux Magazin * LWN * Muktware * Linux.com Suggestions are very welcome! /Jos
