Re: [opensuse-conference] Gnome 3.6 party @ Prague
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Stella, Bogo wants to help organizing the party. SInce Friday and Saturday are booked, we can have it on Sunday. I don't know the culture, do they stay late on Sunday? Anyways, try to organize it and add it to https://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/ReleaseParties/ThreePointSix It seems only Europe celebrates ;-) Good luck.

[opensuse-conference] survey after oSC
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Now you all think - what, we haven't even STARTED on oSC and yes, that is correct. But it is good to have the survey ready before the conference so we can pitch it to people AT the conference and get much more input (and more FRESH input). So, I propose to get a survey up asap... AJ made one for the summit and I already asked him to copy it over for oSC as the needed changes are not so huge. I would ask for these additions: "do you think the FUTURE MEDIA track was an addition to the conference?" 1. Yes, such social issues are very important and it was good 2. Yes, but the content was not good enough. 3. No, it doesn't belong at a FOSS conference 4. No, I don't care about this. 5. What FUTURE MEDIA track? "I joined the conference mostly for: (more choices possible)" X Gentoo X openSUSE X LinuxDays X SUSE Labs X the FUTURE MEDIA track "For the openSUSE folks: do you enjoy having a conference with others or should we 'keep to ourselves'?" 1. Together is good, we can learn from the others and have more fun 2. Together is good for others, what I do just doesn't benefit 3. Together is pointless, it brings no benefit other than maybe marketing 4. Together is bad, it just takes away from the focus on openSUSE Otherwise, of course we have a slightly different schedule and more days which requires some changes. I'm sure AJ will respond with a link to a survey we can use so you can give input on the questions. Hugs, /J

[opensuse-conference] oSC media plan
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Heya folks, I've been going over our old todo lists for conferences and such to make a short 'todo' for the openSUSE Conf marketing. Lots of things are done already so I skipped those, just planning for the last 4 weeks. I'd love to hear comments/ideas for things to add and especially "I'll do that's" from all of you ;-) For the artwork stuff, I've already asked the artwork team so that's not on the list. /Jos Tip: the interviews are both important and not too hard to do. Also, we have a few VERY interesting speakers so it's fun to do :D I'd really appreciate help with those! openSUSE Conference Media Action Plan Until two weeks before oSC * do and publish speaker interviews * Write announcement of parties * Other announcements? * Create last "why come" article before conf with all stuff coming linked * Prepare tweets etc for these announcements and articles, use bit.ly links for tracking and spread to ambassadors! * pick hashtag and advertise it (probably #oSC12?) Until 3 days before conference * Plan things to be announced and decided at the conf * pre-write those announcements * Create presskit for conference * Send press kit around and prepare some for journalists at the conf During the event * Write daily reports on oSC * Keep the world updated on what is going on at oSC/LD/etc After the event * Create final report of oSC with links to all announcements etc

[opensuse-conference] Pinging 'old' conference goers
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Heya folks, I've dug up a list of people who went to oSC in 2010 and 2011 but did not yet register for 2012. That's a list of almost 500 mail addresses with obvious duplicates removed*. I'd like to send them all a mail to invite them to oSC12, see below. Does anyone have any idea on HOW to send this? I'd rather not do it myself as I'm guessing Google will block me for the rest of my life if I spam 500 people at once. That's only allowed if it's actual spam, right? And I can use feedback on the letter :D Hugs, Jos * people who signed up with a different mail address between those conferences are still on there, nothing I can do other than go through 500 mail addresses by hand - I'd rather sacrifice Popcorn. ================== mail to send out Hello conference go-er! You signed up for the openSUSE Conference in 2010 or in 2011 with this email address but have not signed up (yet) for our event in 2012. This year we'll be co-locating with LinuxDays, a Gentoo mini-conf and SUSE Labs and we hereby guarantee that it's gonna be awesome so you can't miss it!

[opensuse-conference] several itineraries
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hi, can somebody create the information about the best itineraries in public transportation for: * Going from Carol hotel (by SUSE office) to the Venue * Going from Diplomat to the city center (specially for evening and night) * Going from Krystal hotel to city center (specially for evening and night) in English. Max can add this information to the website. It will be very useful for attendees.
