- I think the cost of Berufsforderungswerk is very beneficial to planning the conference as it ensures we can help focus whatever conference funding we have on other needs. My only issue with Berufsforderungswerk is that the name is sooo long that I never learned how to pronounce it. :-)
= Lack of solid internet access was both a positive and negative. It was positive in that it forced us to focus on the conference rather than spending time fooling around online all the time. But, negatives were that we were unable to access the internet to download or demonstrate stuff in the hallways to each other. Also, we were unable to tweet/blog/publicize the conference activities live. This is something that the marketing team should look at and come up with some kind of good "press corps" plan that takes any internet limitations into consideration.
What about doing a openSUSE conference 2010 kick-off meeting next week on Thursday 22, 6pm CEST [4] on openSUSE-project IRC channel?
I think a kick-off meeting is good and the conference planning itself should include broad community discussion. But I think you should consider contacting a few people first whom you think would be good organizers and get them to discuss and frame/shape the ideas before presenting it to the general population. otherwise, we spend all of our time with "I wanna this, I wanna that... I wanna... I wanna.." and not enough time actually focusing on what it is we can and should do based on whatever resources we have available to us (i.e., funding, services, etc.)
Most definitely, I would like to see folks from Marketing participate in the conference planning. So, any of you folks on this team who are interested (AND HAVE THE TIME BECAUSE THIS IS A BUSY PROJECT!) please step up. I'll be around as well, but more as a Board Member so I want to make sure Marketing folks have the opportunity to participate and get more experience.
Looking forward having an effective conference organization and to see you all at openSUSE conference 2010.
Hello , Well this definitely sounds interesting . I would like to know more on what kind of Marketing folks you are looking for ;) . That is , what qualification they should have , on what basis they would be eligible and so on . As you said 'THIS IS A BUSY PROJECT' . Looking forward to contribute to it and get a chance to know more about openSUSE . -- Regards, SJ(Shayon) openSUSE http://en.opensuse.org/User:Wwarlock Twitter: ShayonM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
