[opensuse-conference] Background for Twitter opensuseconf
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Hello, We're fixing the social media. We would like to have a background image for twitter opensuseconf. We created a temp one from the posters that andi sent but we would like to have a better one. Thanks Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis The power corrupts. The absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fear is not real. It is a product of thought that you create. Fear is a choice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

Good point, yes... Carlos, Andi, you think you can get me these pieces of artwork by Sunday: - a "summer is coming", looking as much as possible like http://bit.ly/WkpIOw on postcard format; - a less dark version of the white tower picture - tux and/or cube (pick one if you have no time for both) updated to either openSUSE Conference or to openSUSE 12.3 I know I am asking for a lot... But right now, we have some very-cool- almost-done ideas and it would be great if we can turn that into very-cool- and-done ideas :D Hugs, Jos > Henne

[opensuse-conference] Greek magazine (Linux Inside), they are interested to promote the conference
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hello, I wrote also on Trello for that. The only Linux magazine in Greece called Linux Inside (http://www.linuxinside.gr) want to promote the conference. They want to promote it because it's their job to promote such events, even if we don't add their logo somewhere. Unfortuntely the editor is kind of busy due to family issues, so he told me that we can have what ever we want. We can write 1-2 articles (they can give us 4-6 pages) to present the conference. We can have also interviews (he can send by mail the questions). We just have to contact him. Of course we're free to add anything on the first page (http://www.linuxinside.gr) Articles, banners etc. Take care, Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] The conference announcement - URGENT
by Jos Poortvliet 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi all, After hours of discussion and writing on IRC, we've discovered that there is not really any other sensible way to release articles about the conference than this way: * First the announcement of the conference, with time and date and a link to the website (just a front page) and info about the location and all that. That should go on Wednesday: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=14908&preview=true This will require URGENT help from the local team: YOU will have to write about Thessaloniki (you can take from Wikipedia...) and especially about the local community - yourselves ;-) Some history, local events and other stuff that's interesting would be very good. * Then, we'll announce the CfP together with the opening of registration later: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=15001&preview=true This includes a mention that the travel committee will provide support (the rules etc can be announced separately) and also has a call for sponsors (so the sponsorship brochure should be done by then). That article we will promote widely. Meanwhile, the most urgent stuff is the info about the Greekos ;-) Please get something in that article! Pretty pictures are helpful, too. /Jos

[opensuse-conference] oSC13 Theme
by Henne Vogelsang 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hey, before we, in the promo team, can get anything done we need a theme and motto for the conference. It's the starting point for everything: Logo, website, posters etc. The motto should reflect what we emphasize at oSC13 and the theme should reflect how oSC13 will feel. To explain what I mean look at the last couple of events we held: * oSC12 Motto: Bootstrapping Awesome. We emphasized bootstrapping a new Linux event in the Czech republic. Theme: Urban, Big City, Prague monuments * Summit 2012 Motto: Engage! Collaborate! Invigorate! Emphasizing the hope to build a new American openSUSE community. Theme: Summer, Tropical, Beach * oSC11 Motto: RWX³. Everyone is able to do everything. We emphasize doing things together instead of just talking. Theme: Retro, Old Factory This wasn't always a very conscious decision so this year I would like to make it one. What are we going to emphasize this year and how will oSC13 feel? My personal suggestion would be: Motto: Power to the Geeko. A variant of "Power to the People" [1]. Emphasize the empowerment that you so easily get in openSUSE. Theme: Politics, Greek Democracy, Greece What do you think?

[opensuse-conference] Some artwork during Fosdem to attract people to oSC'13
by Carlos Ribeiro 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Kostas, I really love the idea to have t-shirts about oSC3 during Fosdem. What do you think about to have some other things cute and interesting plus t-shirt in the openSUSE booth during Fosdem to try to attract more people to came and visit the booth (fosdem) also to remind everyone about the conference. Some examples: - Tux Paper https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/OpenSUSETuxPaper - openSUSE Cube, each side could be a message why to be at oSC´13 https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/OpenSUSECube02 - Stickers - to be clue on each DVD sent, with something like this "To learn more, came and joying the geekos at the next Conference in Greece" A sticker is good idea too, I believe is easy to do, and quite inexpensive too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] Venue of oSC13
by Stella Rouzi (differentreality) 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

During the last conference meeting there were a couple of questions regarding the venue and people wanted a more detailed presentation of the venue. So here it is: Olympic Museum (not really a museum though, in fact it's designed specifically for the purpose of hosting conferences - and to promote athletics and olympics too), just next to the heart of Thessaloniki. Map: http://goo.gl/maps/q5QEl Ground Floor: - Entrance, where we can set up the registration desk. [It also has 2-3 screens. Maybe we can run some of our own videos/photos there.] - Cafeteria which we can choose if we want to be open during the conf - [left side as we enter building] Amfitheater of 280 people, equipped with 3 mics for speaker(s), 2 wireless mics for questions, speakers, projector, 2 cams, podium - [right side as we enter building] Room of 60 people, equipped with 1 mic for speaker, 1 mic for attendees, speakers, projector, tables and chairs. - Layout available (this is only ground floor): https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7s3udvhgGFdd1pleElIdmozTGM/edit 1rst Floor: - Room of 80 people, equipped with 1 mic for speaker, 1 mic for attendees, speakers, projector, chairs and tables (if we only use chairs we can accommodate up to 120 people) - Room of 15 people equipped with tables and chairs All areas have good air conditioning system. The venue can also provide us with extension cords for electricity (so that we can have some electrical strips for attendees to plug in their laptops while attending a presentation). Internet is something we are working on. On Friday or coming Monday I should have more news as we are meeting at the venue on Thursday afternoon to examine possibilities. Photos: - Foyer, looking at the right side as we enter. On the right is the entrance of the room https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104738679296987729958/albums/58203550509… - Amfitheater: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104738679296987729958/albums/58203550509… - Amfitheater: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104738679296987729958/albums/58203550509… - Foyer, looking at left side, amfitheater entrance: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104738679296987729958/albums/58203550509… - Room 1rst floor: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104738679296987729958/albums/58203550509… - Room ground floor: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104738679296987729958/albums/58203550509… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org
