[opensuse-conference] CfP plan
Hi, Sorry for sending this so close to the IRC meeting. Wanted to get this out earlier but I've been really sick the last couple of days, just starting to feel a bit better today. Unless there is strong objection the CfP team has come up with the following plan. We will call for proposals for 4 tracks with the following definitions (no particular order): End user track (Geeko Enthusiast): The user track provides the opportunity for the power users of any application to share their knowledge and share the tricks they use to get the most out of the applications they use. Know of a non obvious but very useful feature, present it's usage to fellow Geekos and users in this track. Topics include but are not limited to, applications, desktop environments, multimedia solutions and games. Business track (Geeko for suits): The business track provides the opportunity for those that use openSUSE and/or FOSS in their business to describe the unique challenges they face in using FOSS. This includes but is not limited to issues and solutions of interfacing with regulatory institutions, other business, training of staff, and changing technology course. Community and Project (Geekos around the world): Sessions in this area should focus on project and community activities, including but not limited to project governance, marketing, artwork advocate reports. Technology & Development (Geeko tech): Sessions in this area should focus on system technology and distribution development. Including but not limited to software packaging, development/testing/debugging tools/practices/methods. Infrastructure software, deployment strategies and monitoring. We would like to start accepting submissions in OSEM starting January 20th. We want to start accepting proposals on on February 14th, this is about 2/3 way through the submission period and we would like to close CfP on February 28, roughly 8 weeks prior to the event. If the program is not full by February 28 we are more than happy to accept "late" submissions until about 2 weeks prior to the event. Later, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead Public Cloud Architect rjschwei@suse.com rschweik@ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org

I have no objections, sounds fine, glad you are starting to recover. I will add the proposed plan to the agenda, so we don't forget to comment on it during the meeting.
