Friends,

We need to get people to register and book for the openSUSE conference as soon as possible. What better way than to tease them with some juicy and interesting sessions they would be able to enjoy?

Our paper committee has made some executive decisions and the first sessions are decided upon. Awesome, as that means we can start to advertise them!

The sessions include keynote speakers opening every day (Georg Greve on Friday, Michael Miller on Saturday and yours truly on Sunday) and about 25-30 confirmed sessions.

That should give us plenty to write about, heck, we can probably do a number of articles if we want. But that requires some writing help!

I would propose to do 4 articles. One about the keynote speakers and then one in each of the three main areas of talks: Community& Project; Geeko Tech and openWorld.

I will write the first of the three main areas, show at least one way of doing it. Who's up for picking a 2nd and who does a 3rd? And who would like to talk to our (more or less) esteemed keynote speakers and find out what they will talk about?

Hugs, Jos

I would love to participate! I am willing to write about the other two subjects but if more contributors would like to pick a subject, please go ahead and I will just do one.

1) Community & Project (Jos) I will try to make a draft asap so you have some idea on how to do it.

2) Geeko Tech (Andy) 3) Open World (Andy)

The conference team will have to give you access to the events here: https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/admin/conference/osc2013/events Henne, you are probably in charge of this?!?

Jos, can you expand on the articles 2 and 3?

Let me make something so you have an idea of how to do it. Alternatively, look at conference.opensuse.org under program - Henne featured a few talks there, too. We need to make people sign up for oSC and get their asses going. So we should pick a number of talks with a potentially wide appeal and feature them in these articles. Geeko Tech has for example the OBS Packaging or Maintenance workshops by Henne and a talk about openQA & a workshop about creating openQA tests. Open World has a talk for Ruby on Rails developers, a talk about Btrfs, LVM and Snapper, a talk about using Puppet and so on. These can all use some attention :D Hugs, J

Thank you

Go to the link I gave: https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/ and create an account. OSEM = Open Source Event Management (our tool for handling the visitors and content of oSC). By the way, I think that confirmed talks should become public in OSEM so we can link to them in the article. Are there any reasons not to do that other than "but it might change*"? * then we can never release the schedule as things are bound to change even DURING the event

First draft. I think there won't be enough content to really do three articles, so I'm thinking we should do one after all. Andy, if you can give writing about the other parts a shot, that would be great. Of course, once you have access to the tool... I'll keep working on my part. See https://news.opensuse.org/?p=16081&preview=true for a first start.

Ok, scrap that, had a chat with Andi and we decided that it is probably best to listen to Henne. That usually turns out to be the best thing to do. So we'll focus on ONE main talk from each of the categories. I'll do Community&Project as I already started, and write about the subject Henne proposed: the talk about openSUSE Statistics.
