[opensuse-conference] Tourist Suggestions
by Bryen M. Yunashko 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Klaas and I were discussing a little while ago an idea I have and he suggested putting it up here for someone to volunteer if we thin kit is viable. I've been lucky enough to visit Nuremberg several times and have actually visited *most* sights in Nuremberg during my off-hours. But two places that have been a challenge to visit is the Medieval Dungeon and the WW2 Artwork Bunker. The reason being they have rather limited hours and plus you have to make an appointment to request an English-speaking tour guide. According to websites, both locations are near each other and are a 20-minute tour. I'd like to suggest that we offer this as an option for people interested in alternative events (not everyone wants to sit and drink all evening) and perhaps someone can volunteer to contact both sites and ask to make a special arrangement for openSUSE attendees to visit perhaps as a Tuesday evening event. Of course, attenndees would pay for the admission, not openSUSE. Just that we would make it an arrangement and easier to have groups to go. Thoughts?

The speaker room is planed next to the labyrinth which is as far away as you can get. The room also is not connected to any other room so you can close the door. We'll equip it with a sofa and a table with 4 chairs. I thought of bringing our Playstation or our WII for relaxation. What do you think about this?

08 Aug '11

Hi all, FYI on the press side: We will almost-100%-sure have two media partners this year: linux-new-media and LWN. Both will advertise for us as well as send us a journalist to cover the conference. I'm talking with the SUSE press/media people, Vera Schneider and Brigitte Haas, to get more press there and organize a meeting with SUSE management for them as well as interviews. Cheers, Jos

I just saw the awesomeness that is the new and updated conference.opensuse.org website. However, I can't change it and add the below partner logo(s) to it ;-) Could somebody do that, or give me access? Moreover, I'll need some kind of banner ads. Do we have something or should i ask on -artwork? I have added some text ads on lwn. Cheers, Jos On 2011-06-30 Jake wrote: On Thu, 30 Jun 2011 13:42:42 +0200 Jos Poortvliet wrote: > Yes, we would be.

I am attaching two logos you could use for us, depending on what size you need (if neither works, let me know what ya need) ... just link it to http://lwn.net ... i have print ready logos too if you want to put media sponsors in the program or whatever (not a requirement by any means, but some conferences do that) ... thanks! jake -- Jake Edge - LWN - jake(a)lwn.net - http://lwn.net
