[opensuse-marketing] KDE and openSUSE Announce Opening of CfP for Dedicated COSCUP Track
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

COSCUP, the largest FLOSS conference organized by local communities in Taiwan, will feature a special track dedicated to KDE and openSUSE, jointly organized by these communities. The CfP team is happy to announce today that we're ready to accept your session proposals! At COSCUP 2011, several KDE and openSUSE contributors gave talks and presented ‘cool stuff’ at their booths. This year, we'll do even more! KDE and openSUSE will collaboratively organize a full two-day track at the upcoming COSCUP conference in August 2012. A CfP committee has been set up and proposals can be send in starting today. June 15 is the deadline for proposals which can be send to cfp(a)opensuse.org. Call for Papers The program committee is looking for presentations about KDE and openSUSE. Please note that the talks do NOT have to be related to both KDE and openSUSE. KDE and openSUSE happily welcome talks about KDE on other distributions or other (non) desktop technologies like GNOME or OpenStack on openSUSE. The committee suggests the following topics: * desktop technologies (d-bus, gstreamer, etcetera) * embedded and mobile * distribution technologies (packaging tools, build systems, etcetera) * challenges in adapting software to local needs (L10N, I18N) * cross-desktop and cross-distribution collaboration * cloud computing and integration into the desktop * or anything else you think the world should hear about! The call for papers ends on June 15. Please send in a proposal of about 200 words, accompanied by a ~50 words biography, in either English or Chinese, to cfp(a)opensuse.org before that date. Program committee The Program Committee for the KDE/openSUSE track at COSCUP consists of the following people: * Franklin Weng (KDE) * Aaron J. Seigo (KDE) * Sakana (openSUSE) * Al Cho (openSUSE) * Bryen Yunashko (openSUSE) * Greg Kroah-Hartman (the Linux Foundation) About KDE KDE is an international technology team that creates free and open source software for desktop and portable computing.

Hello, I am "openSUSE ambassador" in France, we organize for 7 years, a computer show on Maubeuge. The purpose of this exhibition is to bring together in one place for computer schools, associations for the promotion of free software, businesses and stakeholders: meetings of security solutions and open source (rssil.org). The show host over 2,000 visitors annually, offers lectures on security and free software, workshops, a challenge to Ethical Hacking, holds the trophy Syntec IUT de France, consulting and direct presentation with visitors. I just received the DVD specials, I printed my work to the three posters that I brought with Jos Poortvliet, 5 months ago. I work on other French translations of documents present in the GIT openSUSE artwork. But, I did not openSUSE t-shirt or plush Gecko to present, I have good 2 or 3 cap openSUSE but there is the Novell logo above. What did you offer me? But if I have to contribute financially, as the event is worth the cost. cordially, Nicolas aka GaLaGaNN -- Club LinuX Nord-Pas de Calais : clx(a)gaia.anet.fr & clx-manifs(a)gaia.anet.fr openSUSE Ambassadors - Ambassadeurs openSUSE Communauté francophone d'entraide openSUSE : http://www.alionet.org GaLaGaNN's Blog : http://www.galagann.net Profil LinkedIn : http://fr.linkedin.com/in/galagann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Sad news
by Bryen M Yunashko 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

I was shocked and devastated to read the news about Jos Poortvliet leaving openSUSE for OWNCloud on https://plus.google.com/109027644713767623413/posts/cJ6GmDq7ekF We will miss him and we thank him for all his great work. :-) It will take us some time to find a new community manager with suitably long hair to match the qualifications that Jos brought to the table. This will clearly be a long search.
