[opensuse-conference] Sneak peek of speakers and sessions
Heya, With all the attention openSUSE 12.2 gets, it'd be good to try and get some of that to us :D Having, as quickly as possible, a sneak peek of what's coming for oSC seems a good idea. I wrote something but need Theo and Michal to finish the parts on LinuxDays and Gentoo sessions... Could you guys add these parts asap, send back to me and I'll merge it all and try to get it out. It can go on news.opensuse.org and on the conference.opensuse.org page. We could do something similar for SUSE Con but I am currently out of energy for this, maybe tomorrow I can do something (for Friday). /Jos

<h1>The openSUSE Conference is coming!</h1> <p>The Call for Papers is closed and the first speakers for this combined openSUSE conference/LinuxDays/Gentoo miniconf/SUSE Labs event are announced. We present a short selection of sessions and speakers below!</p>
<h2>Future Media</h2> <p>The special feature track on Saturday, <strong>"Future Media"</strong>, has speakers talking about the influence of developments in technology, social media and design on society. Speakers include:</p> <ul> <li>Thijs de Vries from <a href="http://creativeseeds.nl/">Creative Seeds</a> on Persuasive design & gamification</li> <li>Shane Coughlan from <a href="http://openrelief.org">Open Relief</a> on using FOSS and open hardware for disaster relief (includes <b>small guided aircrafts</b>, really!)</li> <li>Ramon Roca from the <a href="http://guifi.net/">guifi project</a> about the social implications of owning your network (<b>Build Your Own Internet</b>!)</li> <li>Bas van Abel from <a href="http://waag.org/en/node/139">Waag Society's Open Design lab</a> on how you don't own something if you can't open it</li> </ul>
<h2>openSUSE Conference</h2> <p>The first day in the openSUSE Track, Michael Meeks will tell you all about <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-22">what's new in LibreOffice</a>, Klaas Freitag will give everyone <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-38">a peek under the hood of ownCloud</a> and for the more technical users, Stefan Seyfried will show you <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-08">how to crash the Linux Kernel for fun and backtraces</a>.</p>
<p>Saturday night there'll be a good party and the next day musician Sam Aaron will <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-53">talk about Zen and how to Live Program music like he did during the party</a>. Later, Libor Pecháček will explain the process of getting <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-18">software from the community into commercial enterprises</a> and at the end of the day Miguel Angel Barajas Watson will show us how <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-49"><strong>a computer could win Jeopardy</strong> using SUSE, Power and Hadoop</a>.</p>
<p>The openSUSE event continues on Monday and Tuesday with many workshops and BoF sessions planned as well as a few large-room discussions about the future of the openSUSE development- and release process. </p>
<h2>LinuxDays</h2> <p>On Saturday the LinuxDays track features a relative large number of Czech talks like X, Y. There also few real ninja-style talks about low-level programming like Petr Baudiš about <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#ld-14">low level programming</a> and Thomas Renninger on <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-54">modern CPU power usage monitoring</a> (these both are in English).</p>
<p>Sunday, you can <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-09">learn all about how to set up a Linux desktop/server solution for educational purposes</a> (English) and xxx, YYY ZZZ (cz)</p>
Actually, Thomas Renninger is part of openSUSE Conference, just put there because of time and space constrains. Czech LinuxDays part will actually start by talk by Tomáš Chvátal 'Pokud se to hýbe, zkompiluj to!' which in translation means 'If it moves, compile it!' and is introduction to Gentoo (trying to attract more people to Gentoo room but also to let other visitors know about what is Gentoo about). During the Saturday, there will be track of graphics workshops in Czech (Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus) which I beleive can be also quite interesting for visitors, followed by 3D printing workshop (reprap). Regarding interesting speakers we will have Petr Krcmar (chief editor of root.cz) and Tomáš Matějíček (author of Slax) talking about future of Slax as a last session on Sunday. We will have Vojta Trefny (chairman of Czech Ubuntu community) speaking about Launchpad on Sunday morning and Jirka Eischmann (Worldwide Fedora community manager) speaking about how to contribute to Fedora on Saturday evening. But as you guessed, Petr 'pasky' Baudis (http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#ldsp-15) is also interesting guy, but most of his talks/BoFs will be in English apart from How to contribute to open source (http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#ld-26) And I would promote network talks (Dangers on internet http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#ld-01 (how to behave on internet and what dangers are there) and News in networking http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#ld-15 (NetworkManager & FirewallD) instead of university talks.
<h2>Gentoo</h2> <p>The Gentoo miniconf is kicked off on Saturday by Fabian Groffen & Robin H. Johnson talking <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#gen-01">about how Gentoo is governed</a>. </p>
<p>Sunday is started by Robin H. Johnson talking about how isohunt uses Gentoo. Then, David Heidelberger will teach you all about <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#gen-12">3D, games and everything about Graphic performance under Linux/Gentoo</a>. Christian Aistleitner <a href="http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#gen-13">presents a session about SHA1 and OpenPGP/GnuPG</a> and after lunch there'll be a PGP key signing party and talks about Gentoo development and testing as well as one about using Puppet to manage Linux systems.</p>
<h1>Be there!</h1> <p>This year oSC12 will take place at the <a href="http://www.cvut.cz/en">Czech Technical University</a> in Prague. The campus is located in the district Dejvice and is next to an underground station that gets you directly to the historic city center - an opportunity you can't miss!</p>
<p>We expect to welcome about 500 Open Source developers, testers, usability experts, artists and professional attendees to the openSUSE conference. The entire combined conference is expected to attract well over 1500 people. Admission to the openSUSE conference as well as LinuxDays, the SUSE Labs conference and the Gentoo Summit is free. However for oSC a professional attendee ticket is available that offers some additional benefits.</p>
<p>The conference will start at October 20 and end on the 23th. Be there!</p>

Thanks all. I have added/modified the text based on your input and you can see the results here on Github as soon as github is done showing error 500's and cute unicorns. If there is input, great. I'm gonna take popcorn for a walk, then I'll put this on the wiki to be send for translations and publishing monday. I am also still working on the 12.2 feedback overview but can unfortunately do no more than one thing at once :( Hugs, Jos On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 3:23 PM, Theo Chatzimichos <tampakrap@opensuse.org> wrote:

The article has been turned into an announcement, put in github (ready for deployment on conference.opensuse.org) and put on the wiki for translation here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Program_announcement I will now put it on news.opensuse.org. Once we have translation links I will update all articles/locations. Hugs, Jos
Have you verified that oSC web's feed is in Planet yet? I don't recall whether the request was sent in yet. Also, there's some weirdness in how the news portion of this website template works and you actually have to create two files for it on c.o.o's website. Check with Shayon how it is done.
